I'm freshly reminded of why I hate O'Hare. And most airports. And most people.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

I think my flight's full of babies and baseball players. And one couple wearing straw hats.

I'm connecting in Phoenix. I guess it's spring training?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Heavy snow expected in area tonight; 115-year record should fall
Fuckity.
A National Weather Service winter weather advisory that predicts 3 to 5 inches of snow is in effect in the Chicago area and northwest Indiana beginning at 6 p.m. this evening until 9 a.m. Friday.
Locally higher amounts are possible, according to the National Weather Service.
In any case, enough snow should fall in Chicago to break the February snowfall record of 27.8 inches set 115 years ago in 1896. So far, exactly 27 inches have been recorded at O'Hare International Airport, the official reporting station.

Consuela, I hope today is better, and tomorrow even more so. You've had more than your fair share of crap to deal with, lately.
We have all been sick with various ick, so I am overtired and very grouchy. Today would have been a great day to stay home and throw stuff out, but, alas, I am too far behind at work and I've already had to take a week's worth of time off this month to take care of my daughter and other assorted things. Bah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
tommyrot, at least it's record-breaking and not just generally miserable? I don't know, I always feel better knowing it really is that extreme.
I forgot to bring an umbrella, and it's going to rain all afternoon, apparently. Meh.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My poor Northern Indiana peeps are getting hammered with winter this year.

Yeah, and it's another foot or something of snow tomorrow for them! But only a little snow here, after the rain.
