A cool hazy patch of lakefront on a hot, humid July Chicago day

Speaking of the beach . . . despite the fact that a heat dome has been hovering stubbornly over Chicago for the past several days, I decided to go for a stroll by the lake earlier this week and was surprised to find that the water hitting the hot air had created a cool (but humid), hazy bubble of its own. One lifeguard described it as mystical, and that’s how it felt.

How about an annual beachfront flea market / art festival? It might be a pain for vendors, but think it would be mobbed with curious shoppers.














Although the day felt real (and I have photos), some of the people enjoying the beach might have been doing so via dream projection.

It looked like sheets of light.
