Chicago is known both as 'The Windy City' and 'The Toddlin' Town.'

The wind blows from the East to tame Summer's beast of humidity, heat and stress that rage from the West Welcome breezes from the South turn chill North gusts around As we dig out from snowstorms Open up our 'toddlin' town'

See what Kim wrote? I was about to write the same thing and I lived in Chicago for nine years.

Sinatra called it that. Don' know if he coined the term or not, but he sure gave it a shot in the arm! :) gw

It seems to me that if he didn't coin the term, Frank Sinatra made it famous. Oh, well...

Well, Brian, I looked up quaternion, and I now understand the depth of your mathematical knowledge. Whew! That term is way over my head! I'll accept the positivity of the comment at face value. (Like I have a choice! LOL!). Thank YOU! Best wishes, Gershon
