first stop: chicago

i left my only old womon relative left alive in nyc early this a.m., jumped on the subway, tranfered to the bus, and caught a plane for chicago! in chicago, i walked out the terminal, jumped on yet another train - the orange line to the blue line - tranfered to yet another bus, and was dropped off a block from my truck.

i was relieved to see my big baby, beautiful back facing me as i approached - no slashed tires, no graffiti over my art work - i walked along the 'imprision bush' side finding no surprises - the cab calmly waiting for my return. then i went to glance at the 'codepink women for peace sign' - it had been covered with a huge blue tarp, taped down w/yucky, stickly tape that wouldn't let go as i pulled.

i was pissed - what a side to cover! i pulled the tarp off, tried to remove the tape, headed outta chicago.
