#BoringTravel Unreasonably tired, but I didn't sleep as well in coach as I would have done in sleeper. Back in #UnionStation #MetropolitanLounge to relax and cool off. Next train is an hour and a half away.

#BoringTravel <=550 ppm CO2 in the uncrowded upper level of #ChicagoUnionStation #MetropolitanLounge. Just the place to eat my early supper of #bibimbap from #HMart.

* Edit: CO2 was low, not high; typoed the inequality. The point is that it WAS a lower-risk place to unmask and eat.

#BoringTravel Despite being stuck behind a freight for a while between #Porter and #Hammond, and waiting five minutes or so for the drawbridge at 21st St, arrived #Chicago only three minutes late. In the #MetropolitanLounge for now but will probably go sit outside in a bit.

#BoringTravel Arrived #Chicago just under three hours late. Checked into #MetropolitanLounge, stored big bag, off to #HMart for a light supper (not a big bowl of #bibimbap this time). A few hours yet till my next train leaves.

#BoringTravel A notification tells me my train will depart 20 minutes late. I hope we board, or at least go to the platform, earlier: too hot and too stuffy in #MetropolitanLounge.

#BoringTravel Now in #MetropolitanLounge in #LosAngeles #UnionStation. Stored my big pack; will go off for lunch in a bit.
