I’ve been saying this for years, as Detroit doubled down on gas guzzling trucks because of the high profit margins and missed the target with their initial electric offerings. The Chinese are going to eat their lunch. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/b...

You guys, after a winter of uninspiring California strawberries, we are have started seeing the ones from Plant City, FL in our supermarkets in Chicago. This is one of my favorite harbingers of Spring! 1/2

I made this point in class the other day. Until Congress changes the name, it's the Department of Defense. It's not hard. Pete Hegseth can call it whatever he wants. Uncle Drunky's Funtown or the He-Man Warfighters Secret Clubhouse or whatever. No one else should feel the need to follow him.

Why on Earth would #Chicago DOT perform roadwork constricting the western approach to the Grand Ave bridge over the river, when it is serving as the detour for the Chicago Ave bridge replacement? Total traffic chaos there this morning. At least six 65 and 66 buses clustered up, unable to move.

CBS did not allow Stephen Colbert to air this interview with Senate Candidate James Talerico of TX. If you are like me, that made me want to watch it all that much more.

Making its debut at our block party this year, I have been itching to fabricate a version of a hook and ring game for years. I didn’t want to build a massive frame for it, but then I realized that the city thoughtfully provided a nice solid pole in the median. #chicago

A new one for me: yesterday afternoon a motorist in a white Prius passed me ON THE RIGHT as I rode in the Elston bike lane between Ridgeway and Irving Park. You’ll note the cop car behind him, whom I alerted, but did not get the satisfaction of seeing whether they did anything or not. #bikechi
