Monday skies on Tuesday

Crappy cam-phone shot of the dreary skies this morning. Is it June? Really?

R is for...

"R" is for "Really bored at the El stop".

One for the "holy crap" category...

Here's something you don't see every day. Someone hit a parked car on our street nearly toppling it, then took off running. Our street is notorious for dings and smashes, but never one quite so dramatic as this. Hey, City Council... how about paying attention?

You gotta wonder if this guy was auditioning for a stunt-man's job.

A FINE weekend away

Spending the weekend at my folks' new place to celebrate my brother Todd's graduation from Law School. GO TODD!!!

GTA IV mill about

The line forms for GTA IV's midnight release. I was tenth in line... played late. So... amazing.

El Ride

The el tracks whizz behind as I ride in the last car.

Arrrrrgh.

Some knuckle head bashed into my car this weekend... parked on the street! *sigh*

Big wheels keep on rollin...

Crappy camphone shot of some cool equipment at the Western El stop.

About time...

The CTA announces their installation of a credit card machine to purchase fare cards!

Belmont bustle

Been a while since I saw the old neighborhood. Not... missing it... a bit.

More Winter Ice

Up close, it's really rather interesting!

Paintings Below Zero

This was the primary installation for Chicago's "Museum of Modern Ice".
Not exactly what we imagined, but still pretty interesting.

Freezin in ChiTown

Just the two of us, braving the cold to see Neil Shubin speak on his new book.

A big chunk of...

The Berlin Wall! Yes, there is a piece of this historic event inside our neighborhood el train station.
