If this were not the #sky, it would be snow on the ground. Snow would not be uncommon for October, but 87 degrees now is def odd for #Chicago.

Wide, flat, powdery clouds spread in the hot sun near Lake Michigan.

Dog guy's best man's #dog #friend.

A cinnamon frosted Labradane on a wide chaise covered in sheets. There's a little fake tree, an electric fan, a bag of cough drops, and an empty protein shake carton. The dog's paws are crossed elegantly and he looks warily at the camera as if trying to understand.

*Haplology* is when speakers drop an entire syllable from a word (like “probably” → “prolly”). But why does this happen? Linguist Peter Trudgill explains: www.thenewworld.co.uk/peter-trudgi...

The linguistic logic behind dropped syllables

What triggers haplology – why do speakers omit whole syllables?

In terms of #clouds, it's raining question marks. There are also protruding monuments to men on horses in the distance. It's a cemetery where the tombstone war got out of hand. So the ghosts rose up to mock the ridiculousness. Just another Monday in terms of our #sky.

#Lesbian ball, #Chicago, #1970s

Photo taken in a Chicago ballroom with large-patterned wallpaper, a giant column, gilded mouldings and a mezzanine level. Two dancers, one in a gay red chintz skirt and see-through top, the other in a tuxedo with a mustache. This was a time and place of lesbian women dressing as fem or butch when together.

Midway Plaisance, #Chicago, today.

The Midway Plaisance is a wide strip of grassy park that creates a border between the Hyde Park and Woodlawn neighborhoods. It runs many miles toward Lake Michigan and the Obama Center, seen here with gothic architecture peeping above its borders.

Christ Church Chicago, Woodlawn

Christ Church Chicago, Woodlawn, has an unusual circular center structure with a white dome. Built in 1916, it is seen here on an overcast afternoon in September. A gothic-style red brick church fills the right of the frame in the foreground.

Snapshot of a corner of a messy desk and messy life. There are scraps of paper with NYT Spelling Bee solutions, empty mint wrappers, a pair of aviator-style glasses, a pipe and a hand roll. In the visible corner of a keyboard, CTRL and ALT keys are prominent. There are nail clippers, a 65-year happy birthday card, and colored lights coming from below a desktop tower. More scrap paper reveals notes about a doctor's appointment and that it has been used as a coaster for months. There are old nicotine patches melting into the paper.
