The theme for our staff function this year was "Outrageous Fortune" - a very popular TV series set in West Auckland.
Built in 1869, this Gothic Revival-style building was designed by William W. Boyington to serve as a water tower for the Chicago Water Works, which was pumped into the tanks inside the tower from the pumping station across the street. The water then was distributed to citizens and businesses in the city, which was rapidly growing at the time. The tower famously survived the 1871 Great Chicago Fire with little damage, thanks to its metal and stone construction, though it did receive some damage in the blaze and it’s presence did little to prevent the conflagration from spreading through the city. The destruction of the interior structure of the pumping station across the street, coupled with damage to the pumping equipment within, left the city without water service in the aftermath of the fire. The interior of the stone structure contained a 138-foot-tall iron standpipe when built, which regulated the water pressure in the city’s water system. The 154 foot (47 meter) tall building has a tapered form, and features rusticated stone exterior walls with octagonal corner towers, a central octagonal tower with a rectilinear base that tapers as it rises, decorative Gothic Revival trim work, including crenellated parapets, decorative machicolations, and decorative window and door trim, turrets at the corners of the central tower at the top of the base and the base of the lantern, an octagonal dome at the roof, corner buttresses and decorative carved wooden double entry doors. The building was threatened with demolition multiple times during the 20th Century, but was saved each time by the historic significance and connection to the Great Chicago Fire, and underwent restorations in 1913–1916 and 1978. The building is a contributing structure in the Chicago Avenue Water Tower and Pumping Station Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. Today, the water tower houses gallery space in the base, and is the second-oldest in the United States, after a slightly older tower in Louisville, Kentucky. It sits in the middle of Jane Byrne Park, a small urban square along the Michigan Avenue Magnificent Mile.

Just about 2 more feet of snow dumped on us yet again.
6 of our group of 11 got caught (although I think perhaps they wanted to!) - Seiji and I kept well away. Maybe next time, when I don't have to drive! As it was we had to get everyone to wear bin bags so we didn't muddy up the rental cars.
It looked like a war zone.... but this was the aftermath of the massive fireworks they launched to mark the official opening of the games.
Tara has this habbit of storing the stones of cherries in her mouth whilst she's having a cherry sesh. She then pops them out one by one into some sort of recepticle. I just spag mine out after eating each one.
The old, disused Methodist chapel on Lambert Street has burned down. Accident, malice or greed? Unknown (other than by the perpetrator) as of now.
We took a side street to get past a barrier, but this tree go in the way. We eventually just drove around the barrier.

Aftermath of an early morning single vehicle car accident in the New Vernon section of Harding Township, New Jersey.
March 4, 2012. At approximately 2:00am a white BMW sped through the intersection of Spring Valley Road and Dickson's Mill Road in New Vernon. The driver failed to slow down a 90-degree t-shaped intersection, knocking down an electric and telephone utility pole and then crashing through a steel guard rail. The automobile came to rest only about 10 feet from a private residence. No other details are yet available.
