It was so cold that the Lincoln Park Zoo moved its resident polar bear indoors. Lots of people enjoyed the wonders of science by trying out a few of these subzero-appropriate experiments. And despite the miserable weather the city still looked as stunning and gorgeous as it usually does.
On a little bit of a sadder note, on Monday my mom and I found this bird outside, stuck in the snow. We brought it in to warm up and at first it seemed to be doing better -- hopping around, eating some seeds -- but when we got home from work on Tuesday the bird had passed away. She must have been sick & unable to seek shelter from the storm, so I hope she was comfortable at least :/
I'm telling you, this city of mine keeps you tough. It feels like home more than ever. After a few days of break I am ready to get back to work and to keep on moving forward...
