David, Chicago might happen cause it looks like I am going to have all of my three jobs in the fall which places me in great shape. Everybody tells me Chicago is a place I would like cause of the ability to walk around and get around without a car, the skyscrapers, and the historic places.  So I guess those are the things I want to know about. I really don't care about the "gay" places since I was not turned on by Castro in SF, West Hollywood in LA, or the Stonewall area of NYC. I'm not visiting cause I am gay, I am visiting cause of the city. I want a nice hotel downtown where I can get around to what I want to see.

That is very true Jack! It's called the "El". El meaning elevated.Think of a subway above the ground rather than below. Chicago is vey easy to navigate!

oh!! I always thought it was the "L" train, and didn't know WHY they would call it that!

see? I learned something!

Isn't this cool?






I once saw this for sale at the Circle Center Mall downtown but I didn't buy it. Normally you had to special order it, but they had several for sale. If I ever see it again I'll definately buy it.

It's an Airstream trailer (no, Airstreams are not made in Indiana, they are made next door in Ohio) and it is fully detailed. You can lift the roof off and see the interior. The awning cranks back too, and some of the windows open. If I remember correctly it was about 15 inches in length. It was quite expensive, but it is a collector's item.

Some people spell it "L" I think. Others spell it "El". Anyway, the L or El comes from the fact that it is elevated, although if I remember correctly some of it actually goes underground like a regular subway. I've been on the El several times and I think I remember going underground for a quick minute or two during the trip.

It suddenly got very dark outside! It looks like twilight out there. I think we must have a nasty storm coming our way. I will turn on the Weather Channel and see what they have to say about it. There's no storm sirens going off, so the storms must not be too bad. It's creepy how dark is suddenly became out there though.
