This Is Where I Get Off

Standing at the corner of State and Madison today, waiting to cross the street, I saw a huge CTA bus drive right up close to me and then go down the street In the front window of the bus was a small almost obscure sign which read: “Training Bus”. The writing of the sign was such that you couldn’t read it until the bus was right up on you. Maybe the innocuous sign is posted as a federal regulation: to let the reader know why they were almost hit by a bus. Or, maybe these are your last words, posted at the intersection of heaven and earth.
“The safest road to Hell is the gradual one — the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts. “ From the Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis
