The salt truck army is out in force and snow is imminent.

Maybe Peoria finally realized their incredible gaffe when this shut down the city for three days last December?

In other news, I’ve been traveling more than usual for work this past month. A weekend jaunt to Maryland for college soccer is soon to be followed by a road trip to Columbus, O-I-O this weekend. Combine that with a 45-min multimedia presentation at Bradley University earrrrly Monday morning and a nearly 2-hour presentation to the Peoria Camera Club tonight and you’ve just taken any free time, thrown it in a garbage compacter and detonated it SWAT-style.

I’ve also discovered that my car’s transmission is not well. It’s been such a good little car thus far, but all children eventually disappoint.
