1995 Ford is far more similar to a 2025 model than a 1985 Ford compared to a 1955 model.

He's actually from Dolton, but as a Hyde Parker, I'm willing to give him a dispensation on that.

Do you have a rental car? On the way back to O'Hare, hop off the Kennedy Expressway at Ohio Street and get an Italian Beef on the corner of Orleans and Superior. Also, construction on the outbound Kennedy will cost you an hour.

He looks like the face on Mars. Maybe he's an alien wearing a "Donald suit."

Sociopath RFK has thrived by demonizing people he accuses of making us sick. And that'll be much easier when he ends vaccines and far more of us are getting sick. And a country dumb enough to elect Trump is dumb enough to believe measles and polio outbreaks aren't due to vaccine refusal.

From the guy who insisted that humanity would henceforth live and work as crude, legless cartoons. An idea so stupid and implausible that it's hard to even describe what he was thinking without a picture.

Not a lot of bridges on my phone's camera roll, surprisingly. Some good photos taken *from* a bridge, though.

It will be political malpractice if Kamala doesn't make a subtle wisecrack about Trump's "attributes" tonight. Do it early in the debate and he'll blow his stack prematurely.

Good morning! September is sunrise season in Chicago as the sun transitions to the southern horizon after being too damn bright for a good sunrise photo in June and July.

Morgan Shoal on the South side of Chicago. My kids dubbed it "rock beach" when we used to take them there to swim when they were little. There is a small, naturally occurring pebble beach here. But mostly it's the shattered remnants of a concrete and stone revetment built in the 1930s.

They should create a skee-ball pattern on the field and the opponent gets the ball based on where the kickoff lands. Put it in the 100 circle and the opponent starts on their own 5. In the 10, they get the ball on the 40, etc.

There were people swimming in lake Michigan in Chicago yesterday. When I moved to Chicago back in the mid-80's we were switching from our heavy winter parkas to our less heavy spring parkas just about now....

I'm astonished that the GOP can find somebody new every year who's willing to stride through the pile of their doomed predecessor's bleached bones in the quest for the SOTU-rebuttal golden idol.
