Margo sent me this article from Slate yesterday. Actually, she read it to me over the phone first.
It's amazing. And perfect. If you are a Red Sox fan that is. Or if you just like clever metaphors. And Kerry's comment that the Marlins' victory was "the first legitimate victory out of Florida since 200" is pretty funny.

There is a huge fire in Pilsen right now. The largest fire in the city since McCormick Place #1 burned down. And friends of mine live in the area that was closed down/evacuated this morning, but evidently they're having fun just watching out the window. I know this because I got panicked phone calls at 7am from a couple people who thought I might have better phone numbers. It was really weird seeing a street I'm pretty familiar with burning.

At 8:45 this morning, there was enough smoke blowing onto lake shore drive (remember those record wind storms we've had this week?) to make my eyes water, despite the closed car windows. And the smell of burning fabric and plastic was a little off-putting.
