Another ride to work this morning - it was 79 when I left and it just was a difficult ride for some reason. The Lake was just a little choppy and I could see about a half dozen sailboats out on the water - far enough out that I could just see their white sails and not the boats themselves. There were still many branches on the ground on the South Side and I saw one crew starting to work on cutting them up and removing them.
The Race to Mackinac put on by the Chicago Yacht Club is this weekend. It is the oldest annual freshwater distance race in the US and is over 330 miles in length (if you take a straight course) and I think that there are close to 300 entries. Always a big deal here.
And finally, a quote for the day:
Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it. Russell Baker
Take care!
