Rockin' the suburbs
A couple of weeks ago I went to the suburbs with my sister and her friend. They always go out there (when they can get a ride, hence my involvement) to go to the pool in Morton Grove. I learned a number of things on this trip.
First, Morton Grove isn't that far away. I deem it Least Annoying Suburb to Drive To at about 30 minutes door to door.
Second, neighborhood pools have changed quite a bit since my swim team days. Darling Angel and I had a hell of a crazy time on this water slide, which is apparently nothing special by suburban pool standards:
Finally, suburban caterpillars have also changed quite a bit. Check out this one:
I wear a size 7 shoe. Still, the picture doesn't do it justice. Really I needed a video to capture the rippling of pale green as its skin stretched to accommodate its movements. What's this thing going to metamorphose into, a gopher?
