The weather that you experienced in Missouri has just started to creep into Chicago as of 6 AM. As usual, the local media have us on "STORMWATCH"! Impending disaster, world grinds to frozen halt, four horsemen of the Aplcalypse saddling up, dogs sleeping with cats...I know that it's going to be bad but they blow it way out of proportion with the hope that you'll stay tuned to their channel for updates. You'd think we'd be used to this by now. It can be nasty for you folks that live in "it seldom snows" parts of the country...if you're not used to driving in it, it must really be scary....but this is the norm here so I can't see why people get so freaked out.

I'll probably have to go out to the grocery store and the home improvement later so I'll either wear a Stillwater or that wool blend Gordon that I got from their "scratch and dent" department. It's good to do this because it brings home the point that kilts are normal clothing and are warm in bad weather...also makes me look like a hearty type.

Best
