It's bright outside...

Winter coat feels abnormally warm...

I hear these noises, may be birds??? I haven't seen them in what feels like years...

My dog seems very unsure about going out the door.

Need to investigate further...

This yellow orb in the sky is hurting my eyes...

There is a greenish color intermingled with the barren wasteland that used to be my yard...

Confusion continues to mount...

Well its better than the varying temperatures down in Louisiana. This morning it was around 40F, and now it's about 75F.

Enjoy it while you can. High of 42° Monday.

I have to study for an exam in 2 weeks and plan on doing it outside tomorrow. Will be very distracting.
Maybe I will study whilst keeping an eye on the smoker. Brisket or butt?

It's been strange the last couple of days with the weather so hot that the snow is disappearing!

Also, I agree about the brightness. I had to wear dark glasses at lunch so that I did not hurt my face with the lights.

Can't wait to go home this afternoon and enjoy a cigar in the back yard!

A strange, green material, carpet-like in texture, has taken over my yard, but it's actually sort of pleasant. I may leave it there.

The Blue line derailed again, legislature is back in session raising taxes, and the Cubs are losing. Nothing to see here, move along.

For my own safety I have stayed inside...

Many people outside appear to be running...

Likely trying to escape whatever apocalyptic event is causing this change in the natural climate...

If I don't make it remember me...

Don't be afraid, it won't last, just stay indoors and wait for winter to return. It's Chicago, it's not like there's any reason to go outside anyway.

I was doing some tree trimming today and suddenly I had this clear liquid appear all over my body, tasted salty and it was stinging my freshly shaven face.

Am I going to die?

It is Chicago, so you'd get murdered if you did go outside. So stay inside.

it's a bukkake, you can wash it off, unless there's AIDS in it.

I am not falling for that shit again. Last time it was in february, 60 something degrees. It was 20 out within 3 days. That's how the Canadians get you. Staying inside forever.

Yep, that's Chicago for you. Just remember that the beautiful weather intensifies the behavior of our resident animals, so duck down if you hear pop pop pop.

I work in Chicago and was going to post the same type of thing. I've heard shooting twice after work when going to my car and it wasn't just a couple shots. These guys empty entire clips, they don't play around.


Oh look, the bodies have started stacking up, and this is just a warm Friday afternoon only. I can't imagine what the weekend total will turn out to be:

"A young woman has died and six other people were wounded during four shootings this afternoon on the South Side."
