War of the Worlds

10.19.05

Southbound along the I90-94.

I love the way the light poles over-hang the pavement like single-limbed, leafless trees.

Brat Stop

10.18.05

Me, Rick and three bikes at the Brat Stop, Kenosha, WI.

Rick and I took a short road trip to buy some some lotto tickets and have a bratwurst.

Lotto grand prize? $340,000,000.

Triangle of Light

10.17.05

The full moon over the lake, from the Loyola stop on the Red Line.

10.15.05

They're tearing down Wrigley Field!

At least the outfield walls, so they can add more seats, so they can make more money and buy better players and win the World Series. Finally. No, really.

Nice Shoes

10.14.05

Dali's Ketchup

10.13.05

Another diner, another ketchup bottle. Nice grain on the table.

Euro Bar

10.12.05

Milwaukee. Wisconsin.

Nice Watch

10.11.05

Close up of an ad for some magazine.

Pumpkinheads

10.10.05

Fall has always been my favorite time of year.

I love the contrast of warm light in the tent and the grey, foggy light oustide.

NO RIDERS

10.09.05

After 12 months (and over $1,000), we finally emptied my storage space: A couch, love-seat, two dressers, three bookcases and dozens of boxes of books, a futon mattress and a 32-inch tv that doesn't work.

Pumpkin Patch

10.08.05

.39 cents a pound.

Logo in Red

10.07.05

Close up of a back-lit billboard for a company calling itself the official something-or-other of the Chicago Cubs.

3:31 am, Clark Street at Schiller.

Eeeeeeek!

10.06.05

Halloween decorations at Six Flags, Gurnee, IL.

Sunroof

10.05.05

Through the sunroof of our new Toyota Matrix at the yellowing leaves.

Fan

10.04.05

I can't remember where (or why) I acquired this fan.

One of the (few) good things about moving is finding little treasures you forgot about. Not only does it work (though it obviously needs cleaning), it looks cool.

Spin Cycle

10.03.05

Lamp Light

10.02.05

Our new living room.

The Land of Lincoln

10.01.05

Stature near Dearborn and North Avenue.

Concrete and Petals

9.30.05

Flower petals were scattered on the sidewalk outside a flower shop on Lincoln near Fullerton.

Grant

9.29.05

Grant statue at Lincoln Park Zoo

Cyclist and Clouds

9.28.05

A view of the Hancock Bulding and a tiny Navy Pier, from near North Avenue.

BIMBO

9.27.05

It's not what you think. I don't know why this Spanish-language bread company has the same name as a woman of ill-repute, but it's funny.

Rogers Park Branch

9.26.05

Just around the corner from our new place.

Boy, Dog and Coke

9.25.05

This statue and souvenier soda bottle (that my mom brought back from Argentina) sit in the light of the setting sun in our new kitchen in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago.

The day after taking this picture, the figurine hit the floor (on accident) and broke into four pieces. Good thing I took the picture.
