Ever have one of those moments? The kind when you catch a bit of dialogue from the television or radio, or hear part of a public service announcement, and at that precise moment whatever random statement you heard seems aimed directly at you? I had a moment like that this morning, on the el train headed downtown.
Just as I got on I heard this announcement:
"Soliciting and gambling are prohibited on CTA vehicles."
Damn it. Now I'll never be able to sell enough tube socks, umbrellas and incense to bankroll my floating shell game.

Do you remember back in the eighties, before the automated announcements, the guy who was really entertaining? "Flying 30 feet above the city...." It was always a treat when I'd get his train.
I remember him! He drove the Brown Line train for a while.
I remember an awesome bus driver in San Francisco too. Bubs, how will your family survive?
I remember a guy on the line that ran from Evanston to the loop being very entertaining:
Come on people, step like it's payday, let's go!
I've used that line on my kids more than a few times.
Lu-- yes, that was him! Bubs-- that might have been him as well.
