A lungfish at the Shedd Aquarium has died. His name was Granddad and estimated to be mid 90 years old at the time of his death. He arrived in Chicago from Australia for the 1933-1934 World's Fair.

Two loved ones, a family member in the UK and a friend here have had strones in the last week. My Grandad looks like, etc he will return home, our friend is already in a nursing home and all we can do is keep her comfortable now. Strokes suck ass!

Gotta do what you gotta do to get the road clear..lol

People get frustrated when these parts get significant snow. Roads can stay un cleared for a week or more at times due to lack of snow plows citys have.

My stepdaughter finished work earlier, called into Superstore to buy some half price, still fresh, bread and then waited at the bus stop in the -25 windchill.

A woman in a car stopped to offer her a ride home without knowing where she lived. She was dropped outside our house and then the kind soul was on her way to where she lived back in the same direction from which she came.

Becca told me to :nod:
