So how's the weather out by you?

A little trouble on the Eisenhower Expressway and the Blue Line L this morning.  Not to mention the freight line.  It's nice to have a canal through Oak Park, really classes up the joint.
We live close enough to the fondly-named "Eisenhower Canyon" that normally there's a fair amount of expressway noise, not noticeable indoors with the windows closed but a constant companion when we're outdoors.  Today, the Ike is silent.  And on the back porch I can hear all the neighbors.  And of course that means they can hear us.  I think I prefer the Ike.

Rain. Lots and lots of rain. And being downstream from Wisconsin which also had lots and lots (and incidentally lots) of rain. Plus, construction on the Ike has screwed up its drainage system so that less epic rains (like we had in June) were still able to close the Ike for a few hours.
