Made a dark meat meatloaf and Kenji Alt-Lopez's turchetta roll with the breast. Both were delicious.

Woke up early, did all my mise en place, and now I'm on break until noonish. Time to get baked for the holiday.

Imagine not stopping every two blocks on every bus
I completed my final count. Out of 10,511 bus stops, I found that 4,360 (41%) of them could be removed to align with national best practices of 1/4 mile spacing. Long-form explainer article and an interactive map are forthcoming. Green dots are removed stops, black are kept stops.

So we're now at teenage girl having a fit because the rest of us are chewing while we eat dinner. Perhaps she wants me to just unhinge my jaw and swallow a burrito whole.

My family is all running a 5k this morning. I'm drinking boozy hot chocolate and waiting to surprise them with donuts after their run.

The nice thing about black nail polish is that you can do some touch ups at the office with a Sharpie.

Somehow, a major street with four lanes of traffic going through the middle is a "shopping center". Let's pedestrianize Michigan Ave and cover it, then maybe it would be worth going to for shopping.
Business rent is way too high on Mag (not Miracle) Mile so companies are just shuffling around. H&M moved two blocks down the road to save cash.
He's blaming "murder and crime" in one of the safest parts of the city because the real problem is "landlords." Almost like that's the whole gambit.

I didn't get the chance to post about it earlier but the Logan Square redesign already nearly got me killed and I've only ridden through it once since it got opened to two way traffic. Great job CDoT! #bikechi
