Sounds good.
But unlikely to happen this year, what with wedding plans and all....

A gazillion high-energy butterflies to all who need some. F'rinstance, these should help T's DH put together a zinger of a job app, thus landing an even better job soon, with only barely time to get through the "honey-do" list before he's back at work.
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

pics from today... first just a standard Chicago street with the L (EL.. elevated train) going through the city... but I kind of like the L... I like the roaring sound it makes as it's passing.
and then the Trump (building on the right) tower that is near finished. The 2nd tallest building in the U.S... Sears Tower (in Chicago) being the first... why we needed another skyscraper is beyond me... but here it is. Once finished, it will be the world's highest building with residence above ground. I personally don't like it... I think it looks like a shotgun pointing into the sky...

Chicago, I love these pictures you're posting. Thanks.

Chicago-how do you bike on those roads??? Doesn't look like there's alot of room.
My knowledge of Chicago comes from watching ER (that's when it's actually on!!!)

Chicago - Back in 1993-1994 I drove for Airborne Express and delivered the Loop. I bet I've driven every inch of downtown Chicago (and all the "lowers") and been in a huge number of the buildings. Man, I love Chicago!

It does look like a shotgun, especially with the square thicker section at the bottom.
CC- people has been bicycling on crowded city streets for over a hundred years. Those Chicago streets look like a piece of cake compared to cycling in say Shanghai:

I am enjoying the Chicago shots, only been to O'hare never the city. I do like cities but then again I hate being in one too long.
It is that cold in Texas, I protest that it isn't colder up north! I do hate cold but then again I get miserable with 20+ days of 100. Maybe I am just never going to be happy with the weather. Originally Posted by BleeckerSt_Girl
