Chicago, USA



There are two Chicagos.

Maybe three.

They exist at completely different Cartesian coordinates.

I can't quite figure out what made the pilot change directions, but we're clearly in the other one.

I strike up conversation.

"You've changed, Jim. You're a completely different person."

Perhaps that's because he is.

He has no idea who I am or why I'm talking to him.

He's staring at me like I'm a complete stranger. Which I am.

Nice buildings. Beautiful waterfront. Passionate optimism.
