Immobilized in Morton Grove: Car under tree

Luckily we have two cars.

But the better news is that our 2001 Ford Focus will emerge from its trap with a dent or two and a few scratches.

Quite a few people have taken a picture of the Marathon Pundit-mobile, so you might see similar pictures on other blogs, on Facebook, or Lord knows where else

It's never a good night when you're review car insurance forms, calling a claims office, and having a police report filled out.

But other cars in Morton Grove aren't as fortunate.

Last night Fox 32 Chicago reported 350 downed trees in Chicago, but there are about 10 trees and large limbs down on my block here.

The tree removal crews are out again--neighbors' complaints chased them away last night--and they'll probably free the Ford within the hour.

And we finally have full electricity--after a 12 hour wait.
