Everything around here is pretty much closed too. Restaurants that have drive thrus, or take out can be open. Gas stations and grocery stores are open. It is just a weird and trying time right now.

Churches, restaurants and bars are closed except for those that have carry out. Grocery stores and gas stations are open. The streets are empty.

Good evening Illinois and Ford Truck enthusiasts, Ken, and Sean!

Was 51° today with rain. Tomorrow brings 70° with severe thunderstorms. This is Illinois and this is what happens here in the Spring.

Tomorrow is the start of Spring.
