I drive to a bus station, bus takes me to Metra station, train takes me into the Loop, walk to my office. Door to door, 1.5 hrs, each way. I've been doing this for 8 years now and I dont see it stopping anytime soon (c'mon lottery!!). Its not bad since I'm a voracious reader of fiction and ...

heh.....you didnt get a chance to ax me 'cause we wusnt even hooked up. I'm on the FB but under an assumed name. I'm sneaky that way.

G'dammit when is it ever gonna freeze, I'm ready to walk on some water.

My BIL lives in Big Rock/Hinckley, its a nice town. I love that drive on Jerico Rd from Rt 47 west into town.

Fantastic report, thanks Norm

And where'd he get that picture?

Heathens? I'm not familiar with that word relating to fishing.

a 20" smallie in IL is a fantastic fish...kudos to you!

The Great Northwoods of WI are in my near future.....cant wait. I heard the skeeter population is of epic proportions this year due to all the rain and snow they got up there.

Nice article that Dale wrote up in todays paper. Nice report too, Ken. Were you blushing or turned on watching those fish get randy? Hhhhmmmm.....

When lilacs are blooming, the smallies are spawning.

I seem to recall Norm mentioning something about health related issues at Bowmans blog recently
