    It's really cool to see so much interest in something that I grew up around and pretty much take for granted. This is what it looked like last year when Don was here.

    That was the highest the water had been since 1937 when the whole town was flooded. They built the flood wall after that.

    Hope you have your rain suit with you if your using your scooter for food runs today. According to the weather channel it's going to be a wet day in Chicago.

    Maybe you can bring some of that authentic Italian sausage home for us. That and some of that infamous Purple power rust converter.
