One of the more ridiculous annual traditions in Chicago is to dye the Chicago River green for the St. Patrick's Day celebration. I've never seen it, so I decided to check it out. Honestly, it was kind of dumb.
People were lined up on all the bridges, waiting for the exciting moment.
Rather anticlimactically, a boat sped up the river dumping green dye into the water. And that was it.
The dye is normally used to check sewer discharges and is safe for the environment. Looks like a big toxic waste accident. I didn't wait around for it, but the whole river eventually turns bright green.
That's a sweet kayak.
