this is almost a rant. i don't really like ranty blogs, but there it is. i'm ranting.

WOW! No picnic because it rained SO HARD TODAY! I just hung out at Ruby's and visited with a friend who is in from Chicago for the weekend. The storm was amazing, though. It started out as this constant drizzle all afternoon and frothed into this biblical downpour that we, of course, all stood outside under the eave and gaped at while cars tried all sorts of really silly ways to still use Market Street. The water seemed like it was about to come in the door, thank heaven it didn't actually get flooded. One thing, though, people were ordering pizza. Paul Revere's is right next door and this poor guy had to drive in those unbelievable conditions to deliver pizza to some jerkass! I think people sometimes just reflexively order pizza during inclement weather, it seems like I've seen a pizza truck struggling though every major snowstorm I've experienced in Iowa City. Personally, I really don't want someone to die trying to deliver me pizza. I'm just saying.

So write me and tell me how the Chicago was, given the craptastic weather that I assume the lakefront is experiencing as well. I miss you guys-
