My name is Rick Auberson. I’ve been with the Cook County Forest Preserve Police for two years, and my beat includes a calm stretch of the Des Plaines River that runs through marsh and woodlands. I grew up around here and Chicago swelters in August. We place bets at the station house on whether the heat will give us more suicides or homicides—neither outcome surprises me.
On a punishing day two weeks ago, I listened to the
National Weather Service tell me: “This makes it forty-three straight 90-degree-plus days” ...
I’m lucky because at break time, despite the sub-par a/c in my patrol car, I could ease it off Milwaukee Avenue at break time into a shady lot along the river near Dam One. No Kindle?? No problem! Get a free app for any device by clicking here!
