Today is March 31. It is 5:45 a.m. and 37 degrees. A good day to be a home owner in Chicago. Today is the last day of the year landlords have to provide heat if the temperature falls below 35 degrees outside. Boris, my old shithead of a landlord would have turned off the heat on me tomorrow, even though there is a good chance it will be in the high 30s for several more days. Stupid law, blessed mortgage!

However, the CTA will also be turning off the heaters at the EL stops tomorrow, and should even stop heating trains and busses. The stops for sure will be freezing, but the trains and busses? They're heated all year round. Even when it is pushing 95.
