On the radio this morning, I heard the strangest news. That is, that River Otters are returning to Chicago. I was unaware there was even such a thing as a River Otter, nor would I have believed one could survive in the Chicago river. But, there you have it:

Started work early today. My part of the city certainly has on odd feel in the early morning in Winter (well, it’s technically still Autumn), the damp, the cold, the darkness, and the distinct lack of people make for a somewhat atmosphere. At three different points during my two block walk to my car, I could have sworn someone was following me.
The first time turned out to just be my shadow on the wall, the second time it was the wind, and the third time was the crunch of snow as I walked through it.
And people think I’m jumpy.
In other news, Ike Turner died today. Honestly, don’t care much, but the radio, in ‘honor’ of the event, renamed the Eisenhower Expressway (commonly called the Ike) the Ike Turner, and it was amusing to hear, “Traffic on the inbound Ike Turner will take you 48 minutes.”
It’s even more amusing because I do, in fact, take the Ike Turner in to work. Hmm… Not sure that sounded right.
Zel-kun out.
