Yesterday was the most glorious day on Illinois record for 2009. What, you ask, made Saturday, February 7, 2009 AD so spectacular? 60 Degrees baby! We didn't even need jackets! We celebrated by going down to the riverfront and talking trash to the ice as it melted, sucka-chump!
Here's the "Spirit of Peoria": real live paddleboat.
The pigeons on their ceremonial flight celebrating the inevitable death of winter.
Pregnant Tiff showing off her giant propeller.
And last but not least, fishcicles. You gotta wonder "why, when the water was beginning to form ice crystals on their fins, didn't they just swim deeper?"
