Quite the northern route on today's crossing, VHF the entire way!

City in the clouds this morning

I’m declaring the city of Chicago under a rainbow watch, none spotted yet but conditions are ripe

It just a pillar, then a smudge, then it was gone, but it was there. Category 1 Rainbow 🌈

A line of very low clouds, plus long shadows from tall buildings, over Lake Michigan in Chicago.

Looking good, Lake Michigan.

That's like one time I flew MEM-ORD and overflew Canada

Yeah they were great

And a quick (and free) ferry back to Centraal to round out the tour

Can't forget the cats

Even stopped at a local farm for fresh cheese and barnyard animals!

The last time I did a AMS bike tour we just stayed in the city. This time we got out into the countryside a little bit, and made our way through some of the "suburbs".

Didn't cancel and the weather turned out pretty nice!

I was promised bike lanes. Where are the Dutch Bike Lanes?! 🌷🚲🇳🇱

Can I add a last minute vote? Cause A.

Soupy 🍜🍲🥫

Definitely one of the most interesting barista art I've seen.

Layer in the month I will be!

Just booked a tour for my layover tomorrow, which means we'll either cancel or the weather is going to be crap.

Happy birthday Chicago!

"Come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning."

Will it be locked Labor Day till Memorial Day too?

Street sign from the dividing line between bigotry and humanity, Showing Crawford Avenue one way, and Pulaski Road in the other.

In the suburbs, it’s still Crawford Day, the fucking bigots.

The first Monday in March is when Illinois and Chicago observe Pulaski Day, for the Polish founder of the US Cavalry. He came here to fight the Brits in the Revolutionary War. What’s not to like?

Yes for sure, the Mountains on the Labrador coast look really cool, the few times we can actually see them haha.

IYKYK

Oh I’ve probably flown over this! Not today at least, we were about 100 or so miles north of here. That part of Canada is SUPER remote.

Quick snaps from my AMS layover, including dinner at a surenese 🇸🇷 restaurant located in a metro station

False spring is that you?

ORD constellation gorgeous as usual

Yo @kenjennings.bsky.social, I spotted an error on today's show (in the double Jeopardy section). The video clue showed an aileron roll but the answer given was a barrel roll!
