So tonight I was supposed to play a recital in Aurora that was canceled due to the weather... so what's a guy to do? Pile in the 4Runner with the dog and go find some parks is what. We cruised the far Western Suburbs all afternoon into the evening and had a blast. No real off-roading, just some unplowed parking lots and park trails. I saw a carpet cleaning van in the ditch and thought for a second that I might get to use my new tow rope, but a tow truck was already hooking him up.
I saw some pretty cool nature though (for the suburbs), from a flying V of geese to a coyote in the field. By the time I got home, the snow was coming down pretty good and it's supposed to keep up til tomorrow morning sometime. Maybe I'll go out for round two later tonight or early tomorrow...
