@Scrod - you probably already know this since you live so near the sea, but you're supposed to shuffle your feet when you walk around in the water during stingray season. Basically you just don't pick your feet up. This gives them warning that you're there and they mostly stay out of your way. Of course that technique becomes complicated when there are rocks and not just sand.
Just trying to be helpful. Hope your lady recovers quickly. Get her a bell to ring if she needs you to bring her stuff.

@Misskaz - glad you had fun at Pitchfork despite all the weather complications. How was the beer situation? Goose Island again? Bike parking work out alright?

@Misskaz and Bryan, there's a deeply dope concert for free at Millenium park tonight, at the Pritzker Pavillion. 6:30pm
