[Rhodes22-list] Politics on the list.

Chicago will be a balmy 41 today - it was in the 20s with 20 mph winds
yesterday.  If you plan to spend a lot of time in bars Chicago is a good
place for it.  Pick up a copy of the "Reader" or check it out on the web
to see what is happening.  If you really want to get a taste of the Northern
climate pick up a couple of Bears tickets on Sunday, I am sure they are
dirt cheap these days, and bask in the lake breezes. It is supposed to get
up to 50!
