“Do you think I’ll ever win the Nobel Prize, honey?”
“With a smile like that, does it even matter?”

Does this make anyone else homesick?

A little reminder that Chicago was once the frontier and overrun by wildlife.
I don’t think the squirrels really qualify as wildlife anymore since they’re cuter than the girls and more aggressive than the guys…
