Meteorological question for you - what are the prevailing winds in the morning and evening commutes at the LSP? Seems to me that I am always in a headwind.

I do not think there are any prevailing winds on the lakefront path, Morgan. Easterly or westerly winds always feel like they are in your face. This morning's forecast said westerly winds, yet at times it was definitely from the north, definitely from the south and I even got an easterly blast, too. Go figure. There are times when it is strong from the north or strong from the south, but I never count on it to last. It is always a roll of the dice. As the saying goes, if you do not like Chicago's weather ...

Steel Driver,
There are impostors out there. I always give a hearty howdie when greeted.

A.M. commute, LFP, what do I spy with my little eye? Off in the distance FLAGS on a bike! More specifically, flags on the back of recumbent trike, maybe?! My heart skips, my head asks is there a flamingo? Is this, could this be… the infamous Ice Trike? It’s power on now baby, wow in pursuit! Gaining, closer, closing, flags but no flamingo. No slippered toes either. Passing I belt out a good morning and receive a muffled reply. The trike driver sensibly has her lower face covered against the morning gusts.
Sometime I hope to meet the Ice Trike Flamingo and its artistically capable operator. Some day…
P.M. was the fine. The wind blows, eh February in ChicAgo, no complaints. Holly's got it, "Sunny and windy over gray and rainy." Which is tomorrow, maybe.
Happy to read there was no contact today. ; )

Is that for real? If so, you're a grade 'A' certified badass, Gene.
I think it's funny how Gene is somewhat of a celebrity among us. Spotting the Flamingo Trike is like winning the prize. lol.

There should be a new discussion: "I saw Gene today. Did you?"

Eh, correction. For whatever reason, I thought the caption was noting who was *in the water*.
Still, that's a cool picture, Gene.

You caught me Gene. I thought that might be you when I saw your camera out. Nice to "meet" you :)
Got quite a workout this morning with that wind.
