Chicago Skyline

While attending a class in Chicago, I some time to visit the 96th floor of the Hancock tower. This is the view to the south. The building on the left is the new Trump tower and the black building on the right is the Sears Tower. Sunset was amazing and the weather was in the 60's... an real indian summer!!

Some funny looking twins

At the American Girl store in Chicago, there are a number of odd things. One of the "more" odd was this display. It said these two were twins. Either they were switched at birth or mommy has some explaining to do.

Designed for wide loads...

I'd heard that some hospital waiting rooms were installing, "extra wide" chairs for their less healthy patients... I guess these are for those people buying the XXXXXXXL undies at Macy's.

Macy's has a granny-pants sale!

I guess they decided to clear out all XXXXXXL undies...

Merry Christmas!!

So, the planes mentioned in my previous post flew over our house the next day (15 Nov). I think they were flying over the Air Force Academy. One was a copper plane with tiger stripes and the others were blue with tiger stripes. Very neat!


Oh... and Merry Christmas to everyone!

Silly construction workers...

I can't imagine these guys DIDN'T know what they were doing. They were installing a sign for some company called "Compass". They decided to wait to install the "p" until after their lunch break. Unfortunately, while watching this, I missed getting a picture of the two F-14s that flew over. They were painted with tiger stripes. One was copper and the other was blue... VERY COOL.

Okay... I've REALLY got nothing...

So, I ran into these at the Peterson Commissary. I did a double take trying to determine what these things were... according to the package, they are "Scented Beans". I guess the people who designed the packaging intended for them to be sold in a different kind of store, perhaps.

A different kind of urgent care...

So, I saw this while I was driving down Academy Blvd in Colorado Springs and saw this sign. It's a little tough to read, but says, "Complete Pizza and Beer Care Provided. Walk-ins Welcome"

Fog coming down the mountains

This was the view of the mountains from the office. The fog had rolled in and covered the mountains completely, then slowly burned off. About 10 minutes later, the sky was blue and everything was clear. Reminds me of San Francisco.

Mmmm.... Tossed Salad

How do you prefer your salad? Tossed? This was an eatery at the Prudential Center mall in Boston...
