So the conference in Chicago was a big success, ended up being a lot more informative and fun than I imagined. 🙂  I won’t get into the work aspect of things (I never do) but I will talk about the personal time I spent in the city.  It’s downtown is beautiful with many old buildings which look like they date to the colonial days.  There are tons of shops but that’s something Maggie would appreciate more, myself I liked the architecture.  While I was walking around looking like a tourist, this guy walks by me and asks “hey man, you want some cocaine?”  LOL seriously?!?

LOL almost every taxi, Uber or Lyft vehicle was a Prius so as I was driving around I’d notice people looking at me thinking I was their ride lol.  Early Wednesday evening I decided to drive home instead of the morning after as I would prefer to drive in the dark than the heavy rain that was being forecasted and yeah I got home around 3:30am in the morning.

I topped up about 30 minutes outside Chicago and kind of wish I didn’t as I drove the rest of the way home and ended up doing 780km while averaging 4.1l / 100km (57 mpg)!  To be fair I drove behind quite a few tractor trailers but they were flying down the road at 70+ mph!  Still I was really happy with how efficient the Toyota Prius is, it cost me about $60 in gas to go to Chicago and back, that’s simply amazing.

Back to the grind today, lol I’m blogging while I’m in the office so if there are serious grammatical issues then well meh that’s how it is. 😉
