In order for sister Amy to have independence she needs to be able to get around without fully relying on family and caretaker rides. And so over the weekend: the Metra experiment. Amy and I hopped on board and treked to a neighboring suburb. Turns out her bulky chair does fit on the train. BUT actually getting it on the lift to load into the train in a timely matter, not the easiest task for her. We sufficiently delayed both trains we rode on. It doesn't mean the Metra is off limits though, just that she needs a little help getting loaded and unloaded. Either way, check out her smile. Success!
In other transportation news: my Scion, wrecked by a hit and run driver nearly a month ago, will be in the shop another two weeks. Seriously?! And Spencer, who's car was stolen a month and a half ago, finally found a new way to get around. He bought this 70's Schwin in Champaign at a used bike-sale. His purchase will hopefully encourage me to take my bike out for a spin now.
