Getting ready for work, then driving to the St CHarles Toy's "R" Us with Mom (she and my sister worked there at the time too, so we car pooled most of the time.) Weird feeling driving past the DuPage Airport and seeing all the grounded planes, then those several days that this country's airspace was closed and not seeing or hearing them fly overhead whenever I went outside of that store. It's alway pretty noticable from the HTU, but TRU is closer and you can hear things from that airport more easily there than just down the road at this store.
