From a certain point of view, today's weather is completely apropos. It's cold, windy, and wet. (In meteorological terms: 3°C, winds off the Lake of 50 km/hr gusting up to 70 km/hr, and occasional sleet.) It's the kind of weather you can't imagine anything but ghouls and beasts going out in. Pity the poor the trick-or-treaters!

I wanted to walk to the lakefront to admire the breakers. (Further south, 8-metre waves have been reported.) But as I approached, I saw that they had blocked it off. With all the construction (my heart goes out to the workmen laying brick and installing plantings there today), the closest I could get was the roof of the parking structure. Five minutes up there was enough to give me a murderous earache.

From the fifth floor, you can see a striking contrast between the lagoon, which is calm and aquamarine, and the lake proper, which is brown and choppy. I'm not sure what's become of the waterfowl. When I went to toss my breadcrumbs after lunch, not a one of them came out of hiding. Instead, a flock of gulls from the centre of the pond descended on me in horror-movie fashion.

I had no plans to go out tonight anyway since [livejournal.com profile] monshu and I want to get to Pilsen early tomorrow in order to grab a pan de muertos and make it through the museum before it gets too crowded. Bigbones and Miss Cleveland are supposed to meet us there, and I imagine our traditional stroll through Pilsen will be replaced with a drive to Decolores on Halsted. So it'll be a scary movie and an early bedtime for us (unless those two should prove incompatible).
