DYEING OF THE RIVER

For over 40 years, the Chicago Journeymen Plumbers turn the Chicago river green for the St. Patricks Day parade celebration.

Cela fait plus de 40 ans, qu'une équipe de plombiers de Chicago (le 1er s'appelait Mike butler) se chargent de teindre la rivière en vert le week-end avant la st. Patrick.

The dye is orange and becomes bright green once in the water. (It is a food dye and won't hurt the fauna)
La teinture est orange, à l'origine, elle servait à repérer les fuites dans la rivière. (il s'agit d'un colorant alimentaire)

WEEK9

a new movie - the skyline from the express way - shopping at Costco - new pillows - making flowers - great sushi - using nail polish on paper - diner at Uncle Julio's - a wonderful surprise.
