thinking about how if a raindrop falls in one place on Sheridan Road it will end up in the sewer system, discharge into the Chicago River, flow southwest down the Mississippi, and in about three months find itself in the Gulf of Mexico; and if it falls in a slightly different place it will slide down the beach into the Lake and spend the next 130 years traveling northeast to the Gulf of St. Lawrence
