    Cannot figure out where Uber is within the O’Hare maze. This time I didn’t go down to go back up.

    Maybe new flags for November.

    Then kept walking and again overshot. First time seeing the Rotunda. No idea what terminal was what.

    Luckily rideshare shows up in colors. All I know is to look for the Hilton.

    I now see Alaska here, which was my landmark from last time. Should’ve exited but kept on walking.

    Will get the hang of it one day.

    I remember why I haven't been. $40+tax and tip? Per person. 10 to 15min max ride. You maybe get 3 songs.

    The Rotunda is between Terminals 2 and 3. And I am so old that I remember when there used to be a Carson Pirie Scott store in there. :cool:

    Curious why McDonald’s puts the Large size between Small and Medium for their fries. They don’t do this for their drinks.

    Are they pushing people toward the Medium instead of Large? Is it a subliminal SLM for “slim”?

    And the photos show just a 2 fry spillover on each size.

    Knowing McD, it’s intentional and not a mistake. The E. Coli quarter pounders… that’s a mistake.

    Maybe they don't want S&M adjacent with too much frequency?

    Plus, with McDonald's fries, you get the benefit of knowing... they're everlasting goodness.
