Timothy McVeigh was mentally ill, not a terrorist.

I learned today that Stetson Avenue is a real street name in Chicago *and* it's in the goddamned Loop. Somehow I've managed to avoid all contact with and knowledge of this little street for decades.

Hoodie weather has arrived in Chicago. I’m about to go into the office. James is still asleep, sick, so can’t ask me if I’m sure about wearing the Pikachu hoodie we got from the Field Museum’s Pokémon fossil exhibit.

I have loved October for as long as I can remember. Hoodie weather, moody music. Moreso now. It starts with our wedding anniversary (10-1-2022). James’ birthday is this weekend. Mine is in three weeks. Halloween (aka Best Holiday) wraps up the month-long celebrations. All hail King October!

Taco and Queso greet this chilly, final September Sunday morning with the respect it deserves. When James and I get back from church, we’ll take these two to the park. #dogs

Did donate. Would donate again. Thanks for the tunes! Listening in from Lincoln Square.

Taco cracks me up when she lays down on the floor because she looks like a defeated AT-AT walker. The llama toy being all upright and smug adds to the fun. In Taco's defense, this photo shows her after a walk in the 95F heat dome. #dogs

I studied South African history and literature, so regularly encountered stories of mailbombs. The experiences found a place to live in a dark, quiet corner of my subconscious. When I get emails like this, some folks think it's spam / phishing. I wonder if it's a political enemy.

Thanks for sharing this, Peter. Her passing is another loss in what seems an avalanche of them. Listening to Steinem sent me over to Chicago Public Library which has the book you both mentioned during the game -- "The Truth Will Set You Free" -- available. Huzzah!

Went on a bike ride in LaBagh Woods and saw these friends having dinner. They did not invite me to join them. Not wanting to make it awkward, I moved on and left them to their meal. The Cook County Forest Preserves are a treasure.

In honor of Dolly Parton's passing, I reckoned that support for her Imagination Library would be better received in the place I was born: the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Giving donors a choice on geography is really thoughtful. Also, that thank you message written in the first person... oof. :(

The website for the Imagination Library - Dolly Parton's childrens book distribution entity - has crashed. Well, specifically the Donations page. This kind of hug is what I'd hope for when my own time comes.

Queso sat still long enough for me to get a photo of him and James at the park across the street.

MacOS 26.7 breaks Apple Music. :( I upgraded two Macs to 26.7. Apple Music stopped working on both. The Mac still on 26.6x runs the app without any problem.

@theresthistory.bsky.social has done a tremendous series on the Troubles of Northern Ireland. To get a frame of reference for their geography, I used Chicago as Belfast. The comparison made me a bit sad. I would like to drive past Joliet and be in the Republic of Ireland. :(

The Northern Ireland city of Derry has a splendid logo. What other towns feature a bored skeleton?

We were going to take Taco and Queso to the dog park yesterday. Instead, we took them to Michigan.

Queso has two unrelated skills: 1) spitting out medication and 2) stepping on people’s genitals. He showed off both of them within the last five minutes.

In Albuquerque, I’d have to carry my then doggo to the park if we went after 10a; otherwise, the pavement was a skillet. It’s weird to have the same problem in Chicago (said doggo at the University of New Mexico golf course slash dog park on a beautiful May evening).

A wonderful opener. “Nervous Conditions” by Tsitsi Dangarembga has spoiled me for opening lines that strike like lightning: “I was not sorry when my brother died.”

After an extra long and productive walk around their territory this morning, Taco and Queso needed a bit of a break.
