The weather for the next few days is going to be weird
Rain. Freezing rain. snow. Sleet. Freezing rain and snow. Dangerous icing conditions on roadways and bridges.
Another fun week in northern Illinois!
A person really has to be strong to live here. Freezing winters, blazing hot summers, 2 days in fall that are ideal and a spring filled with muck and mud.
But I would not trade it for any other state. Maybe another country, one where I can parlez vous.
Some tidbits you may have missed. Actually, you could go through life and not really care.
A guy in the suburbs was convicted of tax evasion. Feds said he had an income of over $300,000 two years running but only declared $4000 as income.
His attorney had a good argument. He said the guy was really bad at math and produced his rather mediocre high school record as proof.
It was less than an adequate defense.
In 1913 a new hotel opened in Chicago and the owner had to deal with the city's attempt to ban tango dancing as too scandalous. The owner actually, on his own, banned dancing in the hotel when the man danced in front of or close to the woman. His belief was it caused impure thoughts.
Cindy Morgan passed away in Florida. She was 72. Cindy was a Chicago native who became famous as the femme fatale Lucy Underall in Caddy Shack. She never had a big movie career after that first movie, but did appear in several tv shows over the years.
Finally, I want to show off a Christmas present Julia got me.
That will be in pictures, if you can stand it.
Peace and love
