See... planes
Yesterday we went to the downtown lakefront to see some planes do tricks in the air with at least a million other chicagoans. Hey... it was free. And it was a beautiful day to spend sitting by the lake. Plus, when I was going to drag Nilesh to a homebirth meetup group at a yoga center today, I figure I could cheerfully go with him to watch planes.
In totally unrelated news, we are currently celebrating the fact that after a week of effort Nilesh finally got the lid off his shoe polish can. I think he ended up hammering a hole in the lid and prying it off, but this was after he used my hair dryer to try to heat the can, and we both attempted various grips and chisel positions to get that damn lid off. I told him to just barely set the lid on the can this time and we'll use a rubber band to keep it on, so we never have to go through this ordeal again. But, then I remembered, there's already a hole in the lid, we can just pry it off again in the future.

Did you know that two planes clipped each other in that show and knocked off a missle rail. Just watched a news story about it.
You be careful at those air shows.
Oh yeah... Nilesh told me something about that. Evidently it happened while we were watching and the piece of plane dropped into the water just 50 yards in front of us.
He said that that explains why the show was not as exciting as he'd hoped it would be. I had fun watching the little tiny fish in the water in front of us though.
