Finally some beautiful weather here in Chicago. We have decided to go to our regular hunting grounds at Lincoln Park Zoo. We slept well into the morning, picked up our good friends and in the company of four adults and three children went to see the animals.
The photographer in me was screaming bloody murder to go out and make pictures. Thankfully my wife was very tolerant this time around with me running around like a madman taking picture of anything that moved.
Lincoln Park Zoo is a great little place. It's free (if you don't consider $17 parking) they have all the animals kids love to see, and none of the animals where you stand scratching your head wondering how do you explain platipus to a 5-year-old.
One bad thing that happened today, is I think i forgot to close the car, and somebody got in and stolen my Magellan GPS. Luckily nothing else was in the car, so other then that the car remained untouched. Unpleasant, but I have only myself to blame, and I think I'll live through it. I hope karma catches up to the bastard.
What else happened.
On friday me and my wife watched Marley & Me, which is an excellent film. Unfortunately for us, we did not know how it ends in advance, so the result was two adults sitting at the end of the movie, crying their eyes out. I don't believe any other movie touched me the way Marley & Me did. The movie ending was way to close to the heart for our collective comfort.
Well, enjoy the pictures of the animals.

I doubt anyone would go as far as smashing windows out there in plain sight of hundreds of people.
Like i said. A bit of bad luck and absentmindedness on my part.
Oh, well. It's going to be a future gift idea for my dearest :)
Warmly,

The thing is I can totally believe your story. Lincoln Park is a Yuppi town, forever.
Just bad luck.
For me Chicago was one of the safest cities in the US... but of course I stayed far far away from the worldwide known organized crime zones. I promise much more photos of your beautiful city!
