Agreed. My lake is Lake Michigan. This is part of Chicago's 18.5 mile walking trail along its shore.
The dog we watched over the weekend just went home, and our pets are content to have the house back to normal.
This was the first phone I used. It was mounted on the kitchen wall in my parents' apartment. In those days the phone company owned your phone; customers only rented them. This changed after the AT&T monopoly break-up in the early 1980s.
Three summers ago I joined the local pool and began water walking. I hid under a size 18W swim dress. This year: Size 14! I go every day in summer that's not raining.
Our dog on Day 1 of "Chickie" in the house. She did carry the unstuffed toy around after removal of the squeaky thing inside it.
We loved every moment with our slobbery bundle of love. She passed at only 8 years old.
Chicago: We see your seagulls on a soccer field and raise you one rat on a baseball diamond.

Maggie, I give you The Chicago Hotdog. The relish is bright green. Maybe it's a local-recipe thing.
We didn't drink from a garden hose, we had one of these at the park down the block. On hot summer days, we used it as a sprinkler/sprayer if you held your thumb down on the bubbler taps.
You showed Kirk, Spock and McCoy, but I saw Larry, Moe and Curly. Spread out!
I watched a pair hatch on the explore,org site. It's amazing to me that both birds fit in that tiny nest!
I believe buzz cut is on the "Official Hair Styles" poster for men and boys.
Probably why they were usually sitting OUTSIDE of Floyd's. And explains Floyd's drunk-like behavior.
Or the Alexander (Dagwood's son). Dag's hair was parted in the middle.
I presume there was no smoking in barber shops back then. 69.8% alcohol and a "Volatile" warning?!
