Overheard on Chicago's El
New York's subway car announcements are always extreme: either inaudible or annoying ("Thank you for riding New York City Transit!").
Yet I was surprised to hear "the voice" on Chicago's El inform me that
"Soliciting and gambling are prohibited on CTA vehicles".
Sorry, no poker games on the subway!

Adventure on Flight 4219
I woke up at 3:30am to go to Chicago. Unfortunately, 5 hours later, I am still on the ground in New York.
Apparently bad thunderstorms have closed the airports. When the flight attendant noticed I was looking at the radar, she asked if she could walk up and down the cabin with my blackberry and show the other passengers.
I maintain she shouldn't have charged me $3.95 for my snack box!
Update: Over 6.5 hours after settling into my seat, I landed in Chicago.
