I figured it wasn't... but my mind did not want to go the other direction. I spent 4 years north of Chicago several centuries back.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

Nice guess Griz, but that's not it. A little hint; got to get up early in the morning and head east. One day I'll get a picture. It's pretty neat.
Oh sheesh.... now I'm stuck between the clouds/waves/billowing fog on Lake Michigan and the huge flocks of pigeons on Lake Shore Drive.
