Take care of yourselves, okay?
(And yes, I did get vaccinated for Covid and for flu as recommended….)

Chicago folks: if you can, run outside now and look up in the southern sky for a splendid, diamond-sharp view of our moon in its first quarter… a sight to store up against whatever the incoming winter storm brings tomorrow.

Hey Chicago, when you are thinking about meeting friends and eating out this season, remember the 'hoods that have been hit hard by ICE and CBP, including Pilsen, Lil Village, Archer Hts and Avondale. Your $$ will help these places rebound.

If you can go outside right now and look east in that cold clear November night, you’ll see the moon, just hours away from last quarter, and Jupiter — dazzling in the hard black sky.
