Only be cause I have to.

Well I have to go to Chicago, every two years the ITMS is held there.
Then this morning I read this in the paper.

The police chief sounds like a ****, "were treading water" WTH!
It sounds like a lot of shootings for a city that has such tight gun control, and since I will be flying in, I too will be a gun free target in what sounds like a target rich environment. Why any one would live in such conditions evades me, three days and I will be happily outta there.

 

My wife goes to Chicago every year with her friends, shall I ask her to go with you for protection? She manages to get around without any issues

 

I'd love that, and she would likely enjoy my company.

 

Chicago is a pretty awesome city. Like any major city, don't be careless and pay attention to your surrounding, and you will be ok. I'm sure most of the crime is contained to certain areas.

 

Big cities are scary places. You will certainly get mugged and beaten. Don't carry anything valuable and act as paranoid as possible.

 

sucks for the kids trying to grow up in those areas and do the right thing. sucks for the adults trying to go about their lives and live the right way, really no solution that has been tried yet has put a dent to any of this non-sense. did i mention it sucks???

 

I'm in the market for a European man bag as we speak, they say it will help me to fit into the local atmosphere just fine, I'm holding off on the purchase of sandals until I'm sure of the bag coloring.Certainly a fawn colored bag and deep chestnut sandals we be fashion faux pas not worthy of mention here.

 

Don't forget a few deep v-necks.

 

Are crocks and a sports jacket OK for informal dining? And what is the proper tip for a non English speaking cabbie that hauls you around for an extra 20 minutes on a six block commute?

 

Crocs? C'mon, city folks might be dumb, but they are not that dumb. Crocs should only be used for one thing...

 

Is that red X a code for some thing us bumpkins don't know about?
How about sun glasses, since I have hair I don't wear base ball hats, should I just push them up on my forehead like I have four eyes or is that the other reason for the deep V tee shirts.
And if you have any advice on proper edict while walking through "Dave & Busters" I'm all ears. The whole concept of sitting in a room full of screaming,yelling, testosterone charged, fist pumping idiots shoveling massive amounts of grease dripping food into their mouths as an after work activity simply amazes me. We prefer fishing around here.

 

But it appears you like the commercials

 

I've never seen a commercial for them, apparently its a city thing. However several years back I was taken to one for a walk through.
I would guess that they register a lot of democrats there.

 

Now there is some logic, no one can argue with.

 

Look at an electoral map, is it hard to notice the blue areas are metropolitan areas. All the while rural areas where outdoor family oriented activities are more the norm are typically red.
Hence we do not have Dave and Busters here in White bread, PA. You will how ever find Gander Mountain, coincidence? I think not.

 

Again spot on logic, brilliant!!!!!

 

I appreciate that, its the good country living that affords me the clear mind for spot on conclusions.
Will the Mrs. be meeting me at the airport, or at our suite?

 

Gander Mountain sucks.

 

Conservative like you wanting to meet a married woman in his suite, I cannot believe it.

 

They have more usable items than Dave and Busters, they even sell worms.
