Discussion: Practice makes perfect

I take train/bus out to the suburbs often during the summer for O and golf. I find that, like anything, practice makes perfect: you really can develop better performance on public transportation by training. I have my commute out to Busse Woods down now to scarcely over an hour!

I've never done it, but have thought of keeping a public transit "training log," entering successful times of day/connections/routes, and trying to beat those times on subsequent trips.

Did you see the cool lunar eclipse on your way home Wednesday? In downtown Chicago the moon turned purple then orange despite the bright streetlights.

I was home before the eclipse, but Kate and I did step outside to see it. It was a clear night, so we got a great view of it.
