The only alternative to cars in the 'Nati is the bus, and the bus SUCKS. I heard we're looking at streetcars for downtown (like in Portland), but that's probably some city councilman's pipe dream.

Hmmm, tennish showes? never really thought about those! After standing the whole way from downtown to the airport in heels, my feet were killing me! But I was jealous...it was so nice not having to deal with the rush hour traffic that I have to deal with here!

But the price is right and I get to read (can't to that while driving). In addition to the RedEye's CTA blog, there's the original CTA Tattler (http://kjo84.typepad.com/cta_tattler/).

It's like a bumpy carnival ride. But it gets me where I want to go so I will continue to use it. :) The El scares me. It’s like a bumpy carnival ride.
