Cubs fans have had several opportunities over the last century to go down to St. Louis and celebrate a World Series victory.

But I got to see a Cubs-Dodgers game here (Dodger fans were very gracious) and was able to watch most of the post-season. I am so happy for friends/family and the whole city. One hell of a series. The crowds on TV for the parade were ridiculous.

It could be 30 degrees on November 4th. But, there's no climate change. Some guy on TV said so.
