Chicago Public Schools are open

Of course, the weather has turned for the worse. Lots of snow and sleet. Downstate, the town were I spent my formative years has 3/4" of ice on the trees, ground and power lines. The DW is looking over my shoulder, reading what I have written so far, and we have the local news on the TV. Ah, the Chicago dialect. I'm starting to get a bit edgy, holed up in this motel room. Now the DW is asking me to remove reference to her from this post. No way. I'm edgy.
