Day 166 – Getting Fingerprinted

Checked out of my hotel and took my bags w/me into the city to store at Union Station. They had interesting lockers there that had a rather high-tech locking/unlocking method. You select a locker to use and how you are going to pay for it, and it takes your fingerprint on the scanner. It prints out a slip of paper that identifies your locker # and has a keycode on it. When you come back to take your stuff out, you enter the keycode and it scans your fingerprint to verify your identity.

I did most of the same during the day as yesterday just walking around exploring the area. I just headed in a different direction today, spent some time walking around Grant Park. Since I was in Chicago I made sure to find somewhere to get some deep dish pizza and that was my pre-game meal today. It was really good, loved the crust. However, I would still take Papa John’s over it.

I just had to mention this, it shows how little coverage the Jays get in the US. I actually had a group of guys sitting behind me ask who is this guy Marcum. Marcum has only basically been a starter for the past 2 seasons now. Oh and you know arguably the best pitcher this side of Cliff Lee over the first 2 mths of the season. And its not like these guys weren’t baseball fans at least based on some of their conversations during the game.

After the game I was still pretty full from the pizza so I ended up just grabbing a light supper before picking up my bags from Union station and heading to the airport.
