But the oceans not vodka
and I'm not a duck,
So pass the bottle
and shut the fuck up.

We got into town right around 3:30 yesterday and took the time to ride the blue line from O'Hare to downtown. We walked around Navy Pier for a while, had a great dinner (with terrible service) and came back to the hotel ... eventually.

They had advertised a shuttle service to and from O'Hare, but that's turned out to be them paying for your cab to do the same job. The two cab drivers we've had have been real winners. The first had no idea there was a CTA station at O'Hare (I'm from Des Moines and have known that for years) while the second didn't understand where we were at O'Hare when we gave him a very specific location and drove 50+ mph on a street that had a speed limit of 35 with his brights on. Yippee!

Hopefully things will improve.
