I live in Chicago. People in Chicago are know for their "character" for dealing with all kinds of weather. Today was one of those days. I started receiving severe winter storm warnings TWO DAYS AGO. I usually bike to work but that wasn't happening today. I stumbled through about two blocks of sidewalks before a snow plow pulled up next to me. Now, I wear a backpack to work. It's nice. I keep a Powerbar in it. This plow driver asked me if I was walking to school. I hope he gets his parole officer something really nice for the holidays.

After that I stepped in no fewer than two Groundhog Day-size wells of slush. It's a good thing I'm wearing comfy wool socks today. With any luck, trench-foot should set in before noon. BING!
To everyone that loves snow and prays for a blanket of fluffy white powder so they can pile in a minivan and slalom down a man-made hill in the midwest: you can go fist yourselves.
If you happen to find something particularly jarring to where you'll never be able to "un-see" it, please pass it right along to linkbulimia@gmail.com. Enjoy and make sure to wash your hands afterward.

I fancy myself a Godfather fan and I had no idea about this until a few days ago. Who could possibly pull this off today? Nicholson? He'd have to churn out something better than Mars Attacks! if he wants onstage. (Does anyone else find it hilarious that he undermines his entire message by sending her up onstage like that?)

"Oakland Co. stops trips to medical examiner's office after kids see exam of girl from their district." That's about all that needs to be said. (Detroit News)
