Waiting on a Train
I like this little stop between (official) stops. It makes me think of the world of Harry Potter, or the world of Neil Gaiman. These small moments that the rest of us, lost in our daily routines, might not notice.

Order, Chaos, and Order Restored
It would seem that the battle between order and chaos, good and evil, is ever unfolding. Particularly on our commutes to and from work.
A Sonic Rorschach Test
With both of us responding so differently to the same sound, I realized what we had experienced was a kind of sonic Rorschach test.
Car Accident, Hyde Park
As we were (slowly) cross the street, we were gawking and trying to figure out just what happened. How could one car be on its side, and the other car be so close (almost touching)? How did they wind up that way?
Missing Commonality
What’s striking to me is that it seems like the same hand wrote both names. But equally puzzling is both names are misspelled.
The Sins of the Past
I assume this sort of things happens all the time for people doing deliveries in downtown Chicago. But it was just funny to see a ticket on the windshield, and one in the cab that had still not been handled yet.

The seeds were falling all around yesterday, while Liz was working in the yard after work. She said at one point, it felt like watching snow falling.
Foggy Morning in Chicago
For some silly reason, I heard a narrator’s voice in my head saying things like “No one ever went to that train station, because the townspeople all knew it was haunted.”

Finding a Lot of Bread Today
On our walk to work today, I happened to notice someon had left a half-eaten bit of bread on a nearby bush. It struck me as kind of funny, in a “I want the birds to get this, but not the dogs” kind of way.
No Right Way to Handle This No Left Turn
Unfortunately, the early morning snowfall covered up the “No Left Turn” sign. And the left turn arrow was still functioning, so people naturally just assumed it was business as usual.
Not Available
I’m just a tech guy, and I find it funny whenever I see error screens out of context. For some extra hilarity, check out the Thunderdome links (below).
Detour Ahead
It was one of those mornings where, seemingly everywhere I looked, there was something amazing and interesting to see. Something most might overlook. Something waiting to be found.
