Winter Cometh

So the moment that I've been dreading has arrived. It's snowing quite steadily, not heavily but it's a kind of slush for now. It snowed last Saturday but it didn't stay long enough. This downfall may become ice over night and so my girlfriend parked her car into the garage, while my truck is left to fend for itself outside.

Ice? You mean that's different from snow?!?

I shall find out soon enough.

Luckily, it's college football all day featuring some historical rivals such as Alabama v. Auburn, Georgia Tech v. Georgia, and so on.

Vacation Highlights (Cont)

I'm just finishing up my previous post on some remaining vacation highlights that I now remember. Some of them I had conveniently forgotten for obvious reasons. =P

• Lunch at Wow Bao (Hot Asian Buns) in Chicago.
• Took a morning walk outside the hotel for the day's first snowfall.

• Slipped and fell forward down a small hill of fresh snow in the park. No pictures provided.
  
• My hotel played host to a Christian youth conference. Hundreds of teenagers and their bibles. Can you say, "Be afraid. Be very afraid"?
• Still amazed at Chicago's skyline (From the Shedd Aquarium entrance).

• Dinner at Oysy, a Japanese restaurant, Izagaya style. Think of it as tapas or dim sum.
  
• The maps exhibit at the Field Museum was awesome. I came across maps of Hull-House district (ca 1890) in Chicago that identified individuals/families by race/nationality and wage. There was also a map of England measuring literacy rates by color codes, as well as ones identifying health, income, etc. Biopolitics anyone? Governmentality?
