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.

We tried to drive west late Saturday afternoon, got off the Ike to avoid a tie-up and wound up in axle-deep water through much of Maywood and Bellwood.

Lake Street was ok for crossing the Des Plaines but man, that water's high. I was wondering about River Road, thanks for the report.
