			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had never been so frustrated with Chicago as I was this afternoon. A full 24 hours after the marathon was over, streets were still shut down. Heading northbound on Lake Shore, Roosevelt was closed. Balbo was closed. Jackson, with its ridiculously long turn lane, seemed open, but was closed off about 20 feet from the intersection, which trapped people who were planning to turn left in the left turn lane and forced them to reincorporate themselves into traffic that was flying past while they stood completely still; the lights weren&#8217;t cycling either, of course, since it essentially wasn&#8217;t an intersection anymore. Monroe, too, was closed. Randolph was closed. I ended up getting off at Chicago.</p>

<p>It&#8217;d be fine if the traffic folks had had the courtesy to let people know of the closings. I&#8217;d have happily gotten off 4.8 miles earlier on 55 if I&#8217;d known I&#8217;d be forced to drive all the way up to Chicago. A simple detour sign would have done the trick. Maybe the City can&#8217;t afford detour signs anymore.</p>

<p>This was the for the marathon—or I guess the day after the marathon, but who really needs to get anywhere these days?—and it happens every year. What did Chicago expect to have happen if the Olympics were in town?</p>

<p>One more reason to take public transportation, I guess.</p>

<p>Or wait. Shoot.

Silly me.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow. I listened to an impromptu sermon on the bus this morning by a guy who was preaching to us about the ubiquitous presence of God.</p>

<p>To support his claims, he went on to question how sperm could possibly inseminate an ovum in the absence of God—on the grounds that you can&#8217;t see it, and therefore such a phenomenon can&#8217;t possibly exist.</p>

<p>But, to be sure, God definitely exists.</p>

<p>Fail on so many levels.</p>
