It's a Twister, It's a Twister...

Well I arrived in Chicago today to visit my sister and brother-in-law, just in time for a severe thunderstorm complete with tornado warnings. Once we heard the tornado sirens we decided to head for the cellar. Thankfully, my trip has been otherwise uneventful thus far. I left Maryland on Saturday and arrived just outside of Lexington, KY later that evening. For anyone reading this who does not know, Kentucky is my home state. It was nice to be back for the second time this year. The next day I drove on to Louisville where I had the chance to visit a number of places I used to visit frequently back when my grandmother still lived there. Most of what I saw in Louisville was stuff I had seen before. However, once I crossed the Ohio River into Indiana, it was all very different, which is to say very flat. It was basically corn for miles in every direction. Ultimately, beyond the weather at least, there was not much to write home about from today. Tomorrow I will be going to my first game at the White Sox Stadium, and going around Chicago. Then the day after tomorrow I will be starting down Route 66, which is the main objective of the trip. Should be interesting.

The real question: who are you rooting for? :)

The Sox, I guess.
