Sure. Go ahead... rub salt (weather) into the open wounds of all those whose travel/education budgets were slashed, preventing them from attending SHARE until all the economic moons align again. :-(
It's especially salty for those of us where the weather is decidedly more damp and chilly, without ANY word of sun: Chicago area outlook High/Low (°F) Precip. % Thu Feb 26 Rain / Thunder 40°/23° 100 % Fri Feb 27 Cloudy 27°/16° 20 % Sat Feb 28 Cloudy 27°/13° 10 % Sun Mar 01 Flurries 27°/13° 30 % Mon Mar 02 Mostly Cloudy 32°/21° 10 % Tue Mar 03 Partly Cloudy 31°/20° 10 % Wed Mar 04 Partly Cloudy 34°/23° 10 % Thu Mar 05 Light Wintry Mix 34°/24° 60 % Fri Mar 06 Partly Cloudy 35°/24° 10 % Sat Mar 07 Rain/Snow Showers 36°/22° 60 % <sigh> *Why* did my forebears stop heading west when they got to Chicago!??

If your looking for something interesting to do and free, check out the bats that live under the Congress Street bridge. It's home to the largest urban bat colony in North America. The colony is estimated at 1.5 million Mexican free-tail bats. They emerge at dusk to go hunting for insects. From the Convention Center, it's an easy, straight walk of about .3 of a mile (1600 feet, or 480 meters). If you look closely as the bats emerge, you might be able to spot my ex-wfie.....the old bat. :-) -- DJ V/Soft z/VM and mainframe Linux expertise, training, consulting, and software development www.vsoft-software.com The information contained in this e-mail and any accompanying documents may contain information that is confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure.
