St. Patrick's Day Style - Celebrating the Green
Lots of places have St. Patrick's Day (Yes, it was yesterday, but TPP was busy.) celebrations, but this one almost has to be seen to be believed. No photoshopping here. This is a view along the Chicago river in the center of downtown Chicago just a bit upstream from where the river enters Lake Michigan. Yes, the river is actually that green. Do they grind up Irishmen, who have been drinking green beer, and then slosh them around to get the color? TPP actually watched them dye the river one year and met the short-straw fireman who was standing ready in his yellow wet suit should they have to rescue anyone from the green depths, anyone who might have had to much to drink. Also saw a toy poodle who had fallen in, and then been pulled back out, no worse for wear, but definitely a tad greenish, and more than a little bit cold. So if you think you celebrate the Irish, top this.

I don’t want to get pinched, I should probably be wearing something green.
Thanks for the idea.
