300 miles of wind coming from central Canada hits the southern end of Lake Michigan and heads straight down the midway. The law school sits on the midway. Walking across the midway after dark, which it always is when law students head home in winter, is seriously bracing. Ice frequently formed on my beard before I got back to the dorms.

Did you dip your face in water before you walked home?

Yep. That sounds like the Chicago I know. It really is a great city for 8 months out of the year, though.

Maybe y'all are right, and the winters really are considerably worse than everywhere else on earth.

This delusional mindset I have could explain why I'm still a Cubs fan.
