Was so nice this morning I had Elevensies at Bluffington's in Lake Bluff. Took this bad photo on the Bluff's Edge bridge near the McCormick estate. The lake can barely be seen through the trees.
On my way west along Rte 176 I noticed a string of power poles I'd never noticed before. Not a style of power pole I recall seeing before. They each had that little "house" most of the way up the pole as well. Not for holding a transformer I don't think, but what? The string ran pretty much all the way from Sheridan Rd to the Skokie Valley Bike Path before giving way to your typical pressure treated modern pole. This was the first time I'd ridden that path westbound. On other trips riding it eastbound, it was always before the Bluffington's stop so I was probably distracted by my stomach.
