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.

Also Mannheim south was closed somewhere south of there at least part of the day. Lawrence east of there was flooded under the Wisconsin Central yard.

I ran into all that (they'd opened the access gate to Lawrence at the toll plaza just north of Irving Park Rd., so I took that, after going through the gate); I was trying to get to Mokena, where my storage locker is located.

I finally ended up on Green Street in Bensenville, on my way to I-355, after about 90 minutes of trial and error. It must have taken more than 3 hours total to get there.

On the way home, I ended up blocked a time or two around Westchester near Cermak Rd.
