That typing "Rockmack" shows 4 central IL town names-- Union, Champagin, Bloomington, and Elmhurst, IL. Never knew that. :shock: I'll have to dig a little deeper later on.

Done cleaned up my unit, and am catching my breath before going to see just how much more snow we got since my midnight adventure. Pretty sure there's a whole lot more now than there was 17 hours ago.

Made more progress in packing. Let's see..... I think I can be ready by Friday. Still need to organize an area or two, then I'm good. I also need to find a way to squeeze in my bicycles during the move. If can't, then I'm probably going to transport them via bus.

:rofl: Now that would be a challenge. If that happens, so be it. It would be something, that's for sure.

9 more days until my big move!! Super excited!! Things have never looked better. :D :P

:dizzy: Watching my HP laptop transfer 1,433 pictures at a super fast speed. Dunno how that happened, but not complaining.

Transferring my photo album from my phone to my laptop. It needs to be done so I can clear space on my phone.

Chicago weather just after midnight this morning: Traffic at the stroke of midnight on the Red Line: That last picture was absolutely crazy. It was a circus out there.

Me too!! I actually yearn to hop on my bicycle, but conditions aren't safe for that. I am SO ready for sunny days and clear weather.

Relaxing, and clearing enough space on my phone so I can update necessary apps. Took a while to figure out how to do that. Now I am updating those apps, and will add one for bicycle season, as it has nice features I like.

Making plans to get LOTS of snow photos in a few hours.... should be fun.

It is now official: Chicago is under a Blizzard Warning..... 3 years to the date we last were issued one, on this very date in 2012. This will be my 4th blizzard I have been through, as I went through the 1996 and 1997 ones down south, and the 2012 one here. Welcome back blizzard...... NOT. An...

No need to fret over it. It will be taken care of, so I'm good. And true on other stuff I could die from, but let's not go there. I don't need that, thank you. I'd like to keep my happy positive mood right where it's at, thanks.

Or worse. Those 3rd rails are 600 volts, and had I made contact with it, I wouldn't be here. That's why they were there. They needed to determine the danger of that board, and when I saw them, they were serious, meaning that is a danger.

Nope. Had shopping to do, due to the snowstorm. They showed up there just as I was heading back home. I talked to them, and told them what happened, and turns out that's why they were there for. Someone reported it fairly quickly, and I'm pretty sure those security cameras had something to do...

OH PLEASE. All CTA stations are watched 24 hours a day, especially the Red Line, with the high crime rate there. How do you think the CPD showed up there so quickly? More than likely someone saw it happen, and told them before I even reported it to the CTA employee there. They were there under...

Yes, I did. Right in front of a security camera, too, and the Police Department didn't waste any time showing up there, either. That board nearly got me, and they saw how dangerous it is. I'm hoping they will at least close that side so it can get fixed. It's snowing out there, which is why I...

Thinking how dangerous certain Red Line CTA platforms are.... a board is sticking up at the Bryn Mawr stop, and nearly sent me onto the rails. Reported it, and the CPD checked it out, so looks like something's gonna get done.

Snowing, with several inches having already fallen, and that is just the beginning. The worst of it will be in a few hours.

Chatting with a friend of mine, 7 hours and counting. Just like old times.
