Spring ???


I can't complain because I am one of fortunate ones who still has a steady job and have been busy so I haven't had a chance to really post. On that note I will be taking advantage of some things like the water taxis in Chicago now that they are up and running again.

Des Plaines Sinkhole


The following happened not to far from where I live and I don't really care that the police where on the sidewalk when this happened. Can anyone tell me why this sidewalk was not checked out by the city of Des Plaines, IL. or were they too busy with their beloved future casino?

Green On St. Patrick's Day

I know some may get mad at me but I wore blue on St. Patrick's Day. I am only half Irish but like most I am just a mutt.

St. Patrick's Blue, not green, was the colour long-associated with St. Patrick. Green, the colour most widely associated with Ireland, with Irish people, and with St. Patrick's Day in modern times, may have gained its prominence through the phrase "the wearing of the green" meaning to wear a shamrock on one's clothing.

At many times in Irish history, to do so was seen as a sign of Irish nationalism or loyalty to the Roman Catholic faith. St. Patrick used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pre-Christian Irish. The wearing of and display of shamrocks and shamrock-inspired designs have become a ubiquitous feature of the saint's holiday. The change to Ireland's association with green rather than blue probably began around the 1750s.
