Last Notes
The weather in Illinois is always a delight. And by "delight," I mean an absolute menace, wreaking havoc on my sinsues.
All you Chicago people, unite.
This weekend, my beloved city:
1) Lost Coach Ditka
2) Lost the White Sox
3) Lost to the Green Bay Packers.
At least it’s over. These things tend to come in threes.

I’m always walking the cow.
Also, I suspect you're a bot. Which is amusing. An EV evangelical bot.
People who have EVs here do so because they can afford more than one vehicle. It's smart for short commuter trips.
Not smart for... you know... actually wanting to travel somewhere in this vast country, which is why people STILL have gas cars even if they have an EV.
The Holy Father sent a nice letter to the owner of the Chicago White Sox, relating to their "Pope Night" in August.

GN all. Tomorrow's a new day, and hope springs eternal.

As we continue Spooktober, two things: love ya, and enjoy this weirdo image.

GN, all. May your new work week hit the mark.

Amos Kipruto goes 2:01:09 and wins the Chicago Marathon. Not sub 2, but not bad for the sixth-fastest man in history.

GM. Today is the Chicago Marathon. Praying for the safety of the runners.
The weather is good. Record set last year. Could we get a sub-2 on the men’s side?
🍿 Nothing we can do. Just have to wait for their currencies to collapse, so that they can't afford their empires. Taking forever.
> Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?
I think this is true. And it's ultimately because, in the grand scheme of things, there are very few countries that actually matter.
You have the big boys, and you have the vassal states. Same as always.
GN. Nice night, even if we watched some very bad baseball.

This White Sox performance is horrible.
27 outs. 21 K's. An absolutely awful game. Whte Sox set the record over this series for the most strikeouts in a division playoff. Ridiculous.

Had me a wedding with a great couple this morning. The 'ole 11 AM wedding, a rare breed of wedding if there ever was one.
Also, lest I forget: you know what day it is.

Good thing you didn't pull out your piece and flash it around 😆
GM.
Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
I meet the local VFW guys out at the pub just to hang on Thursdays if I can. We always pick a musical theme.
Tonight, it’s the 50’s. What a crazy wide range of music. Standards. Primitive rock. R&B. Blues. Country. So much good stuff.
This has gone off the rails. One of our guys played a 70’s crap song. “THIS ISNT NAM, SMOKEY, THERE ARE RULES!” I may have asserted.
I played a Wilco song to assert Chicago dominance. Cooler heads prevailed. We are back on the 50’s again.

This is how we roll at the dives in the collar counties.
Could we please stop being dumb now. K thanks.

Proof that FUD is alive and well. It always has a motive.

I'm sure we got a Nostrich in here somewhere.

I like the concept of the Googlebook. Not so crazy about the whole Google part, though.
Man, not enough to do it in Minecraft anymore, apparently.
You can just make fractals? You don't have to buy them at the fractal store? 🤯
I vibed a fun fractal maker last night, since I've enjoyed them ever since I was a kid.

GM all. Have a wonderful day out there, and take heart: Friday is almost upon us.
I drank too much caffeine today. Derp.
Still sick, by the way. Onward.
GN.
Something particularly haunting about the notion of a cobra this large. Perfect for Spooktober.

Yeah. Baseball is the best. https://npub1s44rxsqexnn3nge7dkxcs4cknlgq5taav6s3sw7n7vt7yrh24hsqf70glj.blossom.band/748d05630d01ebf10f21aad58ba74010844923c965640e4447c06c22021d1eee.gif
Love it! I'm off in my own little corner posting baseball constantly.
A thinkin' man's game. The beautiful game.
I get it. I had a baby face until I was in my late 30's. Just... no. Own it.
Once again, I shake my fist at the heavens and implore the kids these days to stop growing mustaches. You look dumb and creepy.
This kid is 23 and looks like he's in his 50's.

Lots of bad crud going around. I had the stomach thing last week. Lucky us.
GN.
As Spooktober continues, I bring you one of my favorite artistic depictions from Moby Dick. What a whale.

Love these White Sox.

Sounds like you may have been having the least bad day of anyone present.
Full-on sinus attack. Had a funeral this morning. Sounded like a bullfrog. That time of year.
GN. A fun evening for yours truly.
As we continue on with Spooky Month, I bring you Prometheus. A truly horrifying myth for the mind.

I got it over a week ago.
Still have a residual cough.
Afternoon. I think I'm getting sick. That time of year.
No bueno.
