Well, what a week it was! The city was invaded by a roaming cougar that found his way into Roscoe Village. He met his untimely death at the hands of Chicago's finest. (Photo: courtesy of the Chicago Tribune).
Temperatures finally reached the 70 degree mark and we can now see the layers of Winter grime slowly beginning to fade.
Finally, a 5.2 earthquake centered in downstate Illinois shook people awake up here in Chicago this morning. My mother-in-law told me that she thought it was an airplane rocking the house. I was in a deep sleep, apparently, because I didn't feel a thing. I woke up 45 minutes after the fact and felt very cheated and left out. Ironically, we had a meeting scheduled for the safety evacuation team at work today.

Oh.....the poor cougar :( hopefully he didn't hurt anyone either.....
An earthquake?!?! Whoa.....there is all sorts of excitement round there.....too bad you missed it....would you have freaked out though?! haha I've never been in one before.....I'm sure I would freak out!
Hope you have a great weekend!
Luckily, no one was harmed by the cougar. I saw video on one of the local news stations taken by a resident of the cougar darting out from a gangway (the side entrance of an apartment bldg.) and running behind a police officer - the police officer didn't even know the cougar was behind him.
I felt the last earthquake we had up here in 1988, so I don't think I would have freaked out too much. We live pretty close to Midway Airport, so I might have thought it was an airplane getting ready to take off.
It was an interesting week!
