This is Halloween

[muckefuck]

Coming back on the 22 Clark from the opera tonight was definitely a mistake. I had my misgivings, to be sure, but we didn't have any luck catching a cab downtown and I really didn't feel like taking the el for the fourth time in three days. We made a lot of stops on the way north, but at least we were moving, and the Halloween partiers hadn't yet reached the drunk and obnoxious stage of their evening.

But then we came up on the nightlife corridor and that was it. Fifteen solid minutes, Belmont to Roscoe. At this point, I was seeing free cabs speed by, so I convinced my companion to follow me off the bus we'd shared for the past hour and take one of them. A mere twenty minutes later, we were at his corner and a block from my house. So much for getting an early start tomorrow!

The #22 is always a mistake, unless the other option is the #36.
