I’m home
After an unexpected decision that we would be deciding to just go home, all in one day, from Chicago, I was quite alarmed. We’ve never driven for 11.5 hours before.
Then again, quite a bit of that was stopping, and some was eating lunch. So maybe it was only 10.5 hours. Still, a lot of driving, and a lot of money spent on gasoline. The highest we spent on gasoline was at the Shell station in Naperville, or one of the really nearby subsuburbs, at $4.129.
Yesterday we went up to Navy Pier. We walked all the way up, because we were quite impatient for the next trolley (the first trolley) to come to the stop where we walked to and were standing for quite some time. Probably took us a couple of miles to make it there from Union Station… and then we decided to walk the Magnificent Mile after getting off another trolley later in the day.
We passed by an Apple Store with a MacBook Air on display between two pieces of fiberglass; the one in back had clouds, while the one in front had a nice pinkish color at the top and bottom, fading to a point of transparency where the MacBook rotated for what seemed like a long, long time. And there were people, too.
In addition, I thought I saw the most Helvetica in my life at the Sears Tower Skydeck, but I was proven wrong yesterday simply by walking into Crate and Barrel, where every sign was Helvetica. Every single last one of them, except for the ones by the elevator and escalator that said what was on what floor. I’ll tell you one thing: it slightly bothered me. Maybe it was the small amount of spacing they had between words.
Either way, I’m home, and I’ve decided on a few things:
- I really need to work on getting a website template done out of my current one, also for Movable Type and Wordpress and all the rest
- I really need to work on fuse-mediawiki
- I really need to sleep
If you see me mucking about in IRC, or in real life (heaven forbid), let me know I should be doing these things.
