Drove in to Barrington from her place this morning... 2h 20min. Two hours and twenty fucking minutes. I think I averaged 7MPH from the Ohio St. on-ramp to O'Hare. The goddamned irony of it all is that, once I hit the I-90 construction zone, I was able to do about 65 all the rest of the way in to Barrington Rd. (with appropriate slowing-way-the-fuck-downs for the worker zones). Barrington Rd., however, sucked pure ass. As do all things Barrington save the Penny Road Pub in S. Barrington. smr
