So weather has been pretty messy for a few days. This morning Trey left a message on my voicemail about something, and I just had to go look it up because I thought he was kidding. He wasn't. This was copied from ABC's website:
On the Skyway, In- and Outbound sides: Closed between St. Lawrence Av and 73rd St due to accident - Overturned tanker (carrying chocolate) leaking fuel - hanging over guard rail - Police, Fire and HazMat response on scene. - also Dan Ryan ramps leading onto Skyway and from 66th/State are blocked. Evans St is also blocked. EXPECTED DURATION: Officials Estimate Approx. 12:00 pm ALTERNATE: Use S.South Chicago Ave (runs paralel to the Skyway from 95th to King Dr.).
It happened earlier this morning, and the inbound side was open by around 11 or so. Trey's message said that he was letting me know in case I wanted to go help clean it up!

oooh. Reminds me of when I lived in NJ. A man in PA died by falling into a vat of melting chocolate at a chocolate manufacturer.
The jokes were flying and very little sympathy was had - it was quite literally death by chocolate, and who wouldn't want to die in chocolate - it's better than mutilation or chemicals! That's the way to go (well that, and *another activity*). Just couldn't help but smile - poor dude!
What a waste of good chocolate--well I assume it is good chocolate. I guess all chocolate is really good. :)
No, not all chocolate is good...I was just assuming this stuff was. :-)
believing this chocolate is good stuff makes it more amusing...easier to make jokes and be entertained by it. Otherwise it's just a blessing to dump bad chocolate.
I agree, Viki - there is definitely some not good chocolate - Hershey's for example, is my least favorite (I wonder what would happen in a blind taste test, though).
I like Hershey's special dark. I am not a big fan of milk chocolate anymore.
Hershey's has a new line of dark chocolates - Cocoa Reserve - that tastes like plastic...Special Dark is Ok in a pinch, though. I tried Cocoa Reserve because I had a coupon for a free bar, and I'm very glad I didn't pay for it.
Lindt's Excellence line is so much better!
I have never met a chocolate I didn't like!
Mom
That story is too funny. There is def. bad chocolate out there. I'm with Viki that Hershey's is good in a pinch, but if you're eating chocolate because you WANT chocolate a splurge on the good stuff is best!
I definitely agree, not all chocolate is good. I haven't tried the one you're talking about Viki, but now I will be sure not too! Whenever my dad travels through Europe he brings us this amazing Swiss chocolate. Mmmm, now I want some!
