Chicago Part 1
Understand I commune with nature and curse every SUV I see. The city is a place filled with people, pollution and traffic. It is a terrifying place, where people die unnatural deaths. Fire trucks, police cars, and ambulances begin to scream as night approaches. It is also a place which affords…

The flight to Seattle was horrific thanks to some crazy bitch behind me who decided to drench herself in really stanky perfume. By the end of the short 35-minute flight, the plane and everything in it (including me) reeked of the stuff. By comparison, my connecting flight to Chicago was…
