I was out & about in Chicago on Friday, a lovely day of about 67 degrees
with a sky struggling to be blue. After my errands, I jumped on LSD (thank
you very much Bob Sullivan! :-)): trails, twisty, curvy trails, plugged my
iPod into my AUX port with The Who blasting at full volume: "whooooooo are
you?" Still a relevant question even though I'm 49. I had all 4 windows
open--hair blown in the wind, body wigglin in the seat, keeping the beat by
thumping the steering wheel, and singing along in consistent off-key
fashion. I was totally unabashed in my reverie--and of the fact that I was
a public disturbance on wheels. Even the gangbangers who play that deep
annoying bass in their cars were giving me dirty looks. But did I care?
Our LSD was lovely that day.

Ann,
I got a ticket for speeding one sunny day on LSD.

On
the south side it becomes South Shore Drive.

When I was 19, never having actually sat behind the wheel of a car, I
drove
down the outer drive (from Foster to LIncoln Park)
because a country cousin of mine was afraid to drive in the city... This
was
1956. I had "driven" it before only by leaning
in front of my boyfriend who had the wheel - in the days when the front
seat of a car was "A" front seat...
Later , I confessed to the girl I had never done it before... she said she
thought it was odd when i asked her to park the car!
The next time I drove a car was.. hmm... 1983.

Christine,
You've got to let them in on the secret.
LSD is the acronym for Lake Shore Drive,
a 6 lane highway up the north shore of Chicago's lakefront.
It's conjested every morning and evening rush, but a beautiful drive.
It was imortalized in some song or another, but not very 'imortalized' I
guess.
Regards, Bob S.

Being a Chicagoan, I've grown up with LSD.
Ummm. Huh? Ummmmm What? Ummmmmm Oh, me too! Ummmm I
think.
Whoa! What the hell was that!
Trails, man. Twisty, curvey trails, up and down, splash, splash.
Faster
you go, the more blur you see. Free--bloody freeken free--trails, wind
in
your hair, trails, man. Twisty, curvey trails. Christine
