Really? Well, hang in there.

While visiting Chicago for a few days during Spring Break, I talked the family into letting me stop at Hot Doug's at  2314 West Roscoe in Chicago.

In the photo below, the chalkboard at Hot Doug's informs customers of the daily and weekly specials.  On any given day, options may include over 18 exotic encased meat choices, including rabbit, boar, pheasant, duck, and kangaroo.  On the day I visited, the exotic specials being offered included venison sausage and smoked alligator sausage.  I opted for the Chicago-style char dog and thanks to Doug's excellent caramelized onions, it is my new Chicago hot dog favorite.

The 8th Annual International Noise Awareness Day is April 30, 2003.  Protect your hearing.  Protect your health.  Protect your children.  Take the time to learn more by pointing your favorite web browser to http://www.lhh.org/noise/.

Remember, your right to make noise stops at your neighbor's ears.

Takin' a trip?

What's that?

Takin' a trip?

Yeah.

Where to?

Oh I don't know, wherever I end up I guess.

Man, I wish I was you.

Really? Well, hang in there.
