Who's up for a party, Donner style?
The picture above is both a perfect prediction of what the end of the world will look like and a picture of Chicago's famed Lake Shore Drive on Wednesday morning. Yes, we had an awful storm here and yes everyone has been digging themselves out for 4 days and yes we knew it was coming. This last point is where I get a little caught up and realize just how dumb our society can be under pressure. How the hell did all of these people, with multi-day notice, get caught in the middle of blizzard on a road that is literally 4 feet from a Lake Michigan? What the hell where you thinking?
There may be a few plausible explanations for these people's mind-numbing idiocy. For example, maybe they work at a nuclear power plant and had to flip a switch at 5 pm (storm started at 2) or the core of the earth would implode. Or maybe some of these people misread their Pontiac Sunfire's owner's manual and thought the car had flying capabilities. I don't know and honestly I don't care. Another quick question: Where the hell did these people walk after abandoning ship?! Is the Chicago P.D. about to discover 3,000 bodies scattered throughout Lincoln Park? I bet a few of those people wish they had Tonton to cut open and use as sleeping bag.
Finally, what the hell was that bus driver's last words to his passengers? "Attention CTA riders, we know you have a choice in your transportation and it appears you chose wrong. Good bye."
