It’s just another day in Chicago…kayaking down the Chicago river and then placing a hot dog in front of Oscar Mayer’s grave. Yep, just another day. (You’ll have to wait until the calendar comes out to see the hot dog vendor in front of the sausage maker’s grave.) You won’t have to wait to go kayaking at kayakchicago.com though. The garbage in the river is pretty bad, like don’t touch it with a 10 foot stick or kayak paddle… but it gets a little “sparkly” and “clear” as you paddle further into the loop. A few more pics are at my flickr site.

August is jam packed with”cemetery dates.” I’m still looking for a cow costume for Mrs O’Leary’s grave. I’ll dress up in it if I have to. A two person costume would be ideal. And if anyone doesn’t like their photo taken, you can hide in the rear legs… Anyone?
