The city of Chicago seems to have taken a day off today. My commute, usually bumper to bumper at ten miles an hour, which usually takes me anything from an hour to an hour and a half, took a half hour.
The easy commute allowed me to savor the dramatic effect of low-lying clouds. How low? The city skyline was obscured so I’d say no more than 1,000 feet.
When I greeted one of my colleagues, noting that everyone seems to have taken a day off, he responded “Ain’t it great?”
We noticed the same thing in Orlando this morning. I assume people are making it a four day weekend.
