Colin,

I stay off the path up to Fullerton. I would expect today to be pretty awful. The Jazz Festival is starting, the beaches close after this weekend, it is a long weekend and many people might have taken an extra day to make it longer, and with the heat people will head to the beach. On the other hand, kids are back in school.

I think the odds are with it being pretty awful.

I got home 45 minutes ago and north of Belmont the lakefront trail was pretty light.

Thank you, Ann. I would have released him, but being allergic to bee stings - I like staying alive - I did not want to spring one angry bee while I was close.

I have been thinking and thinking, and cannot figure out where that is. Where is it?

Lisa, Ann and I took a trip today out to Waterfall Glen, the forest preserve that surrounds Argonne National Labs. This is 20 yards from the falls that you can barely see in the distance and where we ate our chicken wings, potato salad and Thai cole slaw. The weather was wonderful and the ride was hilly and a lot of fun until we got lost. We made it back, thanks to a pair of helpful hikers.
