Chicago, Illinois (1998 into 1999)

OK, Kit's been bugging me to put up these pictures for a while now (hey, it's only been 3 months!) We celebrated New Year's Eve in Chicago this year. It also happened to be the second worst snow storm in Chicago's history, dumping 26" at O'Hare. Anyway, on to the pics....

After a long night of drinking, the Duck has finally flipped his bill. Here he is on a rampage. He passed out 4 seconds after this shot was taken.

Some street in Wrigleyville, Chicago, IL

A haunting picture of what could very will be my future daily routine. "Hey mistah, got some change?" Little did I know that I had a much longer walk through snow drifts when I arrive at Midway.
