Snow. Lots of it. Fun. So took the Metra back up to E-Town, but ended up on an express, so had to backtrack from Davis down to Main via the Purple Line and then picked my car up. No problems with Puck. Then I decided to drop by the Apple Store to see what my weekend schedule was. Not up yet. So I drove home via 41. Nice and slow going. But fun. I like driving in weather like this. Slow, a little slippery, but fun. Wish I found a big empty parking lot to do some donuts in. Anyway, things I noticed driving home, a handful of just parked cars on the road. No hazards. Noone inside. Just sitting there. In the left lane of a two lane road. Requiring traffic to go around. At least 3 on the way home. Weird. And the other thing I noticed? A Mercedes-Benz, stuck on Inner Lake Shore, not in a snow bank, just spinning tires in the snow that was on the road. That everyone else was driving through no problem. That was funny. And one last thing I noticed? SUV pulls out in front of me and just spins the tires. Doesn't seem to take the foot off the pedal. Just seemed like the driver had no idea what to do if they lose traction, just to keep putting on the gas. Anyway, watched Alias last night too. Just a funny funny episode. Little disappointing with Jack though. Cleaned a bunch this morning, since Tracy and I are having the Cases and the Russells over for dinner tonight.
