Nice pics, what kind of camera are you using?
on a different note........
I made this post on December 27th and up until today I was very pleased to NOT see a single snowflake fall in the Chicago area........... UNTIL TODAY. HAMMERED, POUNDED, SNOW IS ALL OVER. ITS LIKE ANTI-E60 MATERIAL IS FALLING FROM THE SKY!
Thus, I have been forced to take my awesome neighbor's Toyota Highlander to work where I now have to sadly look at a Japanese fat lady from my office window instead of my beautiful, German princess. I am truly saddened by this whole Winter ordeal. You know, if it wasn't for my job I swear I'd pack everything up and move to a NO-SNOW-STATE. I have no kids, no pets, no wife, and no girlfriend. Life is simple and sweet!

On another note, if I had moved somewhere warmer, like Pittsburgh or New York, for example, I would not be able to gloat that my team is in the playoffs as AFC-East champs AND all that during a re-build year. Wait 'till the next few years when this young team matures a little bit.

Kodak 10 megapixel. Wal-Mart, $200. However, I later photoshop the images to improve color and clarity which make a huge difference.

I too am for ultimately moving though. The midwest is boring and the weather just plain sucks. Summer lasts 4 months, and winter is the rest.

I am feeling your pain, however I have the luxury of working from home. I can't even imagine being out in traffic in this mess. Since you don't have x drive, why not get a winter beater? I had a 94 ford taurus which was a tank in the snow..and dirt cheap.

You know there sure are a lot of us from the Chicago area. I think we should arrange a meet for Spring 2010!

My best advice: MOVE, move, move. I resent every single day of my life that I did not move down somewhere warmer BEFORE the kids came along. Now the kids are adults, but obviously I do not want to leave them or the grandchildren behind. It sucks, I tell ya, it really sucks. If I knew then what I know now I would have moved even if it had meant a career change. But, hey, who's complaining?
On another note, if I had moved somewhere warmer, like Pittsburgh or New York, for example, I would not be able to gloat that my team is in the playoffs as AFC-East champs AND all that during a re-build year. Wait 'till the next few years when this young team matures a little bit.
