Shackleton's Voyage of Endurance

As I am getting ready for our 27-day trip to Antarctica, we took the time to watch the documentary "Shackleton's Voyage of Endurance."


It was truly an epic journey -- by endurance, we conquer!!  When you think about it, during our very limited lifetime, some people leave their significant marks behind, but many others come and go tracelessly...  Shackleton and his crew definitely left their legendary marks forever in the human history!

Good Morning, Chicago!

Not sure what I would do when the heatwave hits Chicago later this week with the high temp reaching 50F -:))

Chicago in -30C

It takes -30C for Lake Michigan to steam like this -- forming a layer of white smoke... because the water temperature is much higher than the air temp!!
