Another cold, winter morning - it's 3 degrees outside with a -17 wind chill. Traffic was terrible on the Tri-State Tollway this morning - all because of an earlier accident that was on the left shoulder at Willow that everyone had to slow down and look at before we could finally go on. Then again it was semi, 2 SUVs and a couple of cars, so there was a large group of vehicles to look at.
I'm in the car in the morning at the right time to be able to hear a certain legendary Chicago Radio shtick. Uncle Lar' (Larry Lujack) and Li'l Tommy (Tommy Edwards) are doing Animal Stories every morning around 7:47am on the Real Oldies station 1690 AM. If you grew-up in Chicago in the 70's and 80's and used to listed to WLS (back when it was rock and not talk), you know about Animal Stories (hey - did you know that there are 3 CD's available of Animal Stories bits?) Anyway, Uncle Lar' and Li'l Tommy had a old story this morning about elephants getting drunk on rice beer in India and killing 6 people. The story was little old, but it's still one of those odd little stories that fits exactly into the Animal Stories format. The station is pretty low power and if you can't get it (or are a former Chicagoan that would like to hear the show), the station's website has streaming audio available.
