This day in 1871 (October 8th)


On this day in 1871 God made a miracle.... he burnt Chicago, and it was good. Now don't get me wrong, I think the loss of life was tragic and it is hard to see so many green house gasses go into the air but if you have driving through Chicago recently then I am sure you are also questioning why it was ever rebuilt.

Now my dear friend Ryan lives in Chicago. I feel it is necessary to say that there are many good qualities about the town and the people who live in the town. They have great food, many interesting culture attractions, a rich history and have provided us with many corrupt politicians to laugh at. After all, where else but Chicago do you get to vote at least twice for anything you want. I do not wish ill on my friend Ryan or the people of this city, only on the city itself and specifically its highway system which was apparently designed by a drunk kindergartner using their toy train sets.

Now I am sure you really all want a vacation story or two and they will be coming but right now I am still a little worked up over this driving thing.

Keep up the fight

I agree with you 100 percent. In May, after we dropped Ryan off at work, we couldn't get back onto Lake Shore Dr.

Then there was that trip to Amate House a few years ago, where we couldn't exit onto the road we need to.

This is why I prefer public transportation in Chicago. Let someone else drive.

my #1 question here is:
WHEN DID YOU SEE A DRUNK KINDERGARTENER?!

Maybe Chicago doesn't like you!? :)
