One hundred and twenty hours from now we’ll (hopefully) be on a plane back to Chicago. I have a countdown, of course, because I have a splitting headache and the “car bar” next door seems to be hosting Harley night. What a bunch of shitheads.

A word of advice to future homeowners: Always, always, always tour the area around your (potential) new home. Drive by on Friday nights. Drive by in the evenings. Drive by during the day. Drive by when it’s raining and/or snowing. See how it is on Sunday afternoons. Make sure you’ve been around the area enough to know whether or not there is an horse/car bar next door. That’s my helpful hint for the day.

…when I think that going back to Chicago will be quieter than here, you know it’s bad.
