A good day for a ferris wheel ride, as Matthew Hardman reminds us with this photograph.

The good run of weather continues for most of the day with plenty of sunshine and highs in the low 80s. Tonight, we should see signs of a storm brewing, if the storm doesn't hit us outright. Tomorrow calls for thunderstorms; the only hiccup in a week of pleasant weather. Happy Birthday to Carol Moseley Braun, who was born on this date in 1947. The very first Bud Billiken Parade was held on this date in 1929.
