Today's Weather: Idyllic

My body doesn't recover from covering long festivals like Lollapalooza the way it used to. I shudder to think of what would happen if the weather this weekend was typical of what we expect for August.

Thankfully, it isn't. The only thing most of us need to worry about today when we're outside is sunburn as we have nothing but clear skies, mild temps in the mid-70s and plenty of sun in store for Day 2 at Grant Park today. A day at Lollapalooza without oppressive heat and humidity? What did we do to deserve this?

Note: Do wear sensible shoes if you're heading to Lolla. We saw too many people wearing Chuck Taylors, flip flops and sandals to keep an army of podiatrists in business for the foreseeable future.
