The Redneck himself says that you know you're from Chicago if... Especially poignant this year with all this winter stuff we're having.
If your local Dairy Queen closes from September to May. (Well our local Dog N' Suds closes from October to March.)
If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time.
If you've switched from heat to the AC in the same day and then back again.
If you drive 75 mph through two feet of snow during a raging blizzard (Our first trip on Route 66 encountered a snowstorm back in 2002 and we figured I-55 would be safer. Not safer!!! The trucks were slamming through the snow and blizzard at 80 mph. Never been so scared in my life.)
If you design your kids' Halloween costumes to fit over snow suits.
If you think driving is better in the winter because the pot holes are filled with snow. (No kidding there. US-12 yesterday was an obstacle course.)
If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car. (I measure by gallons of gas. Last year I used a gallon and a half. The three years before that about a gallon. Since Dec. 4th this year, just shy of a gallon.)
THIS ONE IS ESPECIALLY GOOD.
If you know all four seasons of the year: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction. No Kidding!!!

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
