Vacation: Chicago

The Garmin and Apple stores along North Michigan Ave.



Can you imagine carrying this in your pocket?


Visited the Chicago Mercantile Exchange on this trip to Chicago. We pretended to trade the S&P500 futures in this pit where the futures traders stand during the week.








I also met Chris Garner about whom the movie staring Will Smith, "Life and the Pursuit of Happyness" was based on.  A great example of perseverance and what you can achieve despite what life throws at you.

Midland Life: Autumn Flight

14 October, 2007 0 comments
It was a beautiful, although windy, day to go flying just as autumn was setting in and with the expectation that the leaves are starting to turn color.


As you can see, they are starting to change, but we probably will not see them change fully for another week or so.


Some of the lakes around the northern parts of Michigan.


This is Higgins Lake with Flynn Island at the top of the picture.
