On the way in, I got passed by a Chicago Parks truck. It only had a couple mph on me so I decided to tuck in behind. It was towing a woodchipper on a trailer. As soon as I get in the draft (aaaahhhh . . .) I hear someone say "Hey, good morning." I look up, and there's this guy hugging the control panel on the woodchipper. He laughs and says he just jumped on for the fun of it. I chuckle all the way to the next light, where the guy bails out. Well, that's one way to get around town without waiting for the bus.

Other than that, fairly normal WINTER commute (curse you, NNW wind).
