Glad you and the family had a good trip, Bruce. Chicago can be really beautiful at this time of year, and by the looks of those pictures, you had some of that weather Also glad you got to experience Portillos....one of the things I miss being out here in AZ

Bill...you are right! The weather was great...but the people were even better!

Cool pics. Used to work in the Hancock, and those spiders'd set up shop in the windows early spring, and be big as Buicks come fall.

Well, recall a particularly burly one in my window that had more than its fair share of pretty much any and every flying bug in the city that summer. One day, an equally stout yellow jacket - hair parted down the middle - landed in its web - flipped around for a bit like that marlin in the Hemingway book.

So the spider waddles over to do what spiders do at times like this, but the yellow jacket must've faked that he was beached, because he latched onto the spider and flew right off with him.

Still remember the spider's landing gear flailing away as he headed off down Michigan Ave.

Not really up on bugs, and so not sure if yellow jackets chow on spiders. Maybe it was personal ...
