In other news, I don't know how people live and drive in Chicago everyday. Holy hell. This midwesterner thinks ya'll are nuts. And the streets and intersections and stoplight arrangements are dumb. And the speeds are somehow both way too fast and stopped-on-the-expressway at the same time.

We mis-timed things and ended up in what I assume must be the usual rush hour traffic jams multiple times.

Surprised my steering wheel didn't deform under the pressure of my death grip.

@bigzaphod Driving here is nuts! I watch the chaos from the CTA instead :)

@scj probably a good idea! I seriously thought we probably should have tried using the mass transit but, honestly, as a total outsider... I didn't really know how to. And we seemingly would have to drive from our hotel to a station anyway since we were too far from one. Maybe that's a normal situation, though, I dunno. The last time I used any kind of mass transit was in Europe, but some of that was initially pre-planned so I didn't have to figure it all out myself at the time.

@bigzaphod Definitely understandable! It makes a lot less sense if you end up needing to pay for parking somewhere anyway.
