What's it all about, Alfie?

This month Metra had another rate hike, and it was a pretty good sized one - I've heard that it was more than $15/month for most of the folks I talked to. It was 10.8%, and they didn't have one 'no' vote on the measure. From Naperville, it's now $185.25, and that's getting above my first car payment, but it's still way cheaper than a car, and I can't even imagine driving into the city on a daily basis.

So it's the cost of living in Naperville and working in Chicago. Maybe someday I'll be able to work at home again, and I'll be able to skip the monthly ticket, but for now, I need to come to Chicago, and I'm used to it.
