End of the road for Palmer Street. Just an example of what happens at every crosswalk everywhere. Caretaker for 2 Border Collies. Stands unmistakably and inexcusably athwart baseball-handbook.com

Accidents just happen and not because of unenforced bad driving habits.

That's because e-bikes don't obey any rules.

Watering every night this summer with help from Stella yields this today. Probably only another week left with these plants and I'm free.
Picture of two sets of tomatoes laid out on a raw iron tall standing table with a blue 3 person swing in the background. The ~20 tomato set to the right was picked today, the set to the left yesterday. Behind each set is a bottle of unopened Stella Artois which will be my reward for watering tonight and tomorrow night.

i think this and ice videos playing in ads in red states asking “is this what you want?” would be effective, not just in the states theyre running in but in the free media attention it would bring to the issue nationwide

Starting August blight starts to show in Norway maples affected by it. Half of this maple on Belden east of Oakley succumbed to it. There are several more on Belden and others scattered around that I've noticed. I discovered blight on the maple in front of the stop sign camera August 2018. 1/
Norway maple tree with blight which turns tree leaves brown starting in August. Half this tree has brown leaves. Tree located on Belden just east of Oakley in Bucktown.

During the years I didn't have a car I had to Uber my puppy to the vet. One time I was distracted juggling my dog and tried to open the door. It was locked. Driver said we were in a bike lane and a bike went by. I doubled his cash tip and still feel ashamed about it. Waymo drivers won't know this.

We should put electronic tolling on all choke points like this bridge then let basic economics reduce traffic. Hook it into the IPASS system which already works.

The pics below show the CDOT's remedy for all the cars hitting that house. They're so car brained they placed the orange cones in the parkway instead of the street which isn't even a parking spot. blockclubchicago.org/2026/04/17/d...
Picture of a house that keeps getting hit on the corner of Western and George from google maps to compare with the second picture from the Blockclub article.Picture from the Block club article of the Western and George corner with the CDOT installed orange cones on the parkway instead of the street.

A little Chicago trivia: The Charleston bar on Hoyne and Charleston in Bucktown was the first bar to outlaw smoking in Chicago. An ABC reporter was guest bartender opening night.
