Oh, you'll need me to be on the health care team! It's very important to keep those muscles loose and limber during the off-bike time!

... You"ll need comic relief

Hey Lise

I was at Lalos on LaSalle with some friends getting liquored (you know, my new habit) when the sirens went off. We were like "are those the weather sirens?" It didn't look all that windy, but was pouring. Resume drinking.

It's obviously an effective system because nobody in the restaurant moved.

Here's what they had in the trib today:

"Thundery deluge delivers record rain, 70 mph gusts

With a 140 mph jet stream directly overhead, a strong influx of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico, and a warm front just to the west and south of Chicago, all the ingredients were set for a severe storm outbreak late Friday afternoon. Heavy downpours hit in eastern Kane, northern DuPage, and northern Cook counties. St. Charles and Mount Prospect reported over 3 inches of rain in an hour and a half. Those areas and many others reported flooded streets and paralyzed traffic. O'Hare's 1.73 inch total far exceeded the previous record (1.09 inches in 1965) for Sept. 22. Aided by instability created by the diverging jet stream flow aloft and the converging winds at the warm frontal boundary below, towering storms built to 58,000 feet tall. Downdrafts resulted in widespread hail and wind damage (70 mph reported at Hanover Park and 60 mph near West Chicago). Funnel cloud reports and Doppler radar signatures prompted at least seven tornado warnings."

Bi-zarre! I can tell you that the Mexican Fine Arts Museum is a very solid building. We neither felt nor heard anything. It's at Damen and 19th, perhaps south of the big weather. Out on my run this morning, I saw lots of big puddles and small branches down. Sounds like N of us really caught it.

Yeah, KN, I forgot about your crucial skills in the Hawaii team! And we could all go over to Kona for the Big Triathlon.

Anybody find a pile of money lying around recently?

Hey ladies... could you use an EMT/X-ray tech there in Hawaii? If ya fall off the bar stool and break yer arse, I can immobilize/splint, start an IV (afterall, a little more alcohol at this point couldn't hurt?

), transport, and xray ya.

**KnottedYet** · 09-23-2006, 07:54 AM

Oh, yeah!!!

**KnottedYet** · 09-23-2006, 07:58 AM

I have to go into cleaning frenzy mode; my brother and sis-in-law arrive tonight for a week+ visit. We're going to throw a party for Dad's 80th birthday next weekend.

I'll be the group's personal bartender. Grasshoppers, anyone?

Knot- let us know how your ride went!
Flossie-
Be a good girl!

Yeah, you replied before I got to come back and edit with his other post link. I started to "alert" the admins, and then thought, geez, Lise, show some character and challenge him!
