Illinois Rules Of The Road For Pedestrians Might Surprise You
Most residents of Illinois know the rules of the road for driving but did you know there are laws for pedestrians too?. I drive to work early in the morning when it's still dark out.

I'm guessing they don't know the Illinois rules of the road for pedestrians. I was curious so I looked it up.

Elvis Costello and Daryl Hall at Radio City: Review and Set List
Elvis Costello and Daryl Hall's joint tour came to New York City on Tuesday night, specifically to the showplace of the nation, Radio City Music Hall. For those scratching their heads after hearing those two names together — this writer included when she initially heard it several months ago — there is a history. Four decades ago, Hall contributed harmony vocals to one of Costello's albums, 1984's Goodbye Cruel World, on a song called "The Only Flame in Town." (Hall also appeared in the accompanying music video. From Costello's album liner notes: "Naturally, my romantic rival was Daryl, but my only real humiliation was in having a Columbia promotion woman hector the makeup girl: 'Make him look handsome,' while a very hungover Daryl sat in the next chair looking like a movie star. His hair was perfect.")

Hikers in Missouri Stunned When Stealth Flies Over Their Trail
The truth is I think I was more stunned than they were. Some hikers making their way across Missouri captured video of a stealth bomber that flew directly over their trail. As I shared a couple days ago, two hikers are crossing America and they happen to be in the middle of Missouri right now. They are featured on the First Church of The Masochist Hikes YouTube channel. Just over 5 minutes into their most recent video share of their travels across Missouri, you'll see a very familiar aircraft to Missourians fly overhead.
