I was heading to work in the opposite direction at around 12:30, and really had to fight the urge to park the car! Then, for the second time this week I was treated to the delight of watching an airplane on approach go directly over my head as I made the turn to cross the bridge. I was actually tempted to just stop in the road and watch it land. There is something simply magical about the Alton Ice Airport.
Today is a day off, and if I can finish enough chores in time, you can bet my car will on it's way to Alton!
