Hawk looking for breakfast this morning.
A large puffy raptor, white and brown, perched on an alley fence in Chicago and looking straight into the camera. This amateur birder was sure it was a Cooper's but Merlin suggests red tailed.

Aurora over Lake Michigan! And looking west, too. I can see the pink with my naked eye.
A photo of the Aurora (northern lights) over northwestern Chicago. There is a large pinkish cloud in the center with greenish around. A photo of the Aurora (northern lights) over Lake Michigan. A brighter green streak in the middle gives way to purple pinks

Two sides of the same sign at a north center rally this evening, after ICE followed a teacher into a daycare this morning to abduct her. Abolish ICE is the minimum.

From my friend who was at Broadview today. This is who the state police in riot gear were so threatened by they used to pepper balls.

Cubs just needed me back at Wrigley. 8-0 in live Cubs games this season! Magic number is now Nico.
The Cubs' Nico Hoerner, who is an absolute specimen of a baseball player especially in the home pinstripes, at bat during a game at Wrigley. The Mets' Francisco Alvarez is behind the plate and Ian Happ is on deck. I don't know who the home plate ump is but he is there too.

First game at Dodger Stadium! Park #22.
The field at Dodger Stadium from just behind the right field foul pole. The last bits of sunset can be seen behind the stadium.

JFC, sweetgreen, I'm just trying to get an overpriced salad. For me.
The sweetgreen app homepage, with the words "coupled up for fall" and "the autumn menu with Nic" over a dude in ranch(?) attire, tipping his cap and looking seductively into the camera, and oh yeah there's a salad in the picture too

Post your lock screen.
iPhone lock screen reading 21:36, photo is a tree in the foreground, the Chicago skyline in the background, with a bird on a limb silhouetted next to the 2. It might be a cardinal but the photographer (me) doesn't remember for sure.

My ChiSox fan friend often texts me "don't let us get hot!" when they do something fun. This was our exchange yesterday.
A text exchange, the sender writes "a sweep! Don't let em get hot!" and receives the reply "love it. But I must concede...at this point, you could probably let them get hot."

Dangle evangelist.
A black cat asleep in a window basket, with three paws and his tail extended past the edge. There is a striped towel under him, a striped rug beneath, and a striped privacy screen on the porch in the background.

And a couple more
A sign with Trump's glowering face in redscale, with the words Semper Infidelis across it in yellow. An American flag in a stand is also in the shot. A sign with the word NOPE, where the E is a sideways crown. A sign by a tip jar at Midsommarfest reading "No Kings, Yes Vikings"

Saw a whole family of Canadian geese, various ages, at Montrose today. We were peeking through the gold course fence, apologies for the giant whatever in the foreground.
A green golf course. Behind an obstruction, there are at least a dozen Canadian geese: two adults, around 5 "adolescents," and around 5 "babies."

Good night, Bluesky.
A brown striped cat sleeping, her head is basically upside down and her paw is near her chin. You can't see the rest of her because it's under a gray and white blanket.

I am now 5-0 in Cubs games this season, with 2 walkoffs plus the 8th Inning Game. If anyone with season tix wants to get me there on a Sunday, I'm more than happy to bring my good luck...

Today's sparkling beverage nonsense.
An 8 pack of Waterloo sparking water in collaboration with Guy Fieri's Flavortown. The flavor is Spiced Mango Sorbet. The box is garishly colored with red/orange/yellow and a desert motif.

4 Cubs games in 18 days is a lot, even for me. And yet here I am back at Wrigley, to see Carson Kelly and the boys take on the Giants!
A view of Wrigley Field from the 3rd base grandstand. There are various players warming up and Carson Kelly's package is playing on the video board.
