Some pictures taken with my iPod Touch. I'm not that happy with most of them, but I didn't feel like tromping around to get better ones.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
This picture (from the Trib) is better: Abandoned vehicles litter northbound Lake Shore Drive on Tuesday morning.
eta: The city says they shouldn't have been on Lake Shore Drive in the first place.
Bank has been delt with. I have a new card and will spend the evening updating my various auto-pays. Oh, and I have to get a cashier's check to pay my rent since that got caught in the middle of all this.
Since I was out and about I actually went into the office. And none of my cube neighbors are here. It is too darned quiet. I need music or something but forgot my iTouch at home.
It is currently -1 here. I should have CJ try the boiling water thing since he is HOME. Temp is supposed to get up to 37 tomorrow, but with a wind chill of -3. Wonder if they will PLEASE let the kids go to school. The road are nice and clear and the forecast for snow is minimal. It is just frigid.
I just saw this pic of Michigan Ave: [link]
Yeah, usually there's a bit more traffic than that.
Onerous task done! I swept a foot of snow off my car, while it was heating up, and Dan was shoveling the sidewalk, and two teenage boys with shovels are walking down the street!
We are getting Dan's car dug out (it was on the street -- he couldn't make it in the driveway, and it was plowed in pretty well) and I swept his car off, and then went into make hot cocoa and get cookies for the boys.
$30 to shovel the drive and dig D's car out? A BARGAIN. And I scored their numbers for shoveling and lawn mowing.
ONEROUS TASK WIN.
Oy, Suzi. I'm sorry. That bites.
Kids had no school here, which didn't really seem necessary to me. It's just raining now.
Amy, looks like "I" bought an iPod dock and a phone. Of course they had already been shipped them when I contacted the company. Not sure if they will be able to recoup the money. But they are refunding mine.
Well, they should be able to track the shipping addy and see who got it. Maybe they'll get 'em that way. Fuckers.
UGH. Nothing worse, man. Stupid thieves.
My onerous task so far seems to be getting my ass in any kind of gear. Even a low one.
