Last night my wife and I returned to the resto of our first date, 39 years ago. The Half Shell hasn't changed. This poster was on the wall. See how many of these Chicago mainstays you remember.

Today a preschool teacher was pulled out of her school by CBP thugs, in front of her students.
Tonight, 400+ 47th ward residents joined Alder Matt Martin, Mike Quigley, my state rep and pastors and teachers to organize, fight and win.
These thugs don't know Chicago.

I don't think we will be setting out jack o'lanterns this year, but here's 3 from a few years ago, before the squirrels completely destroyed them and carried the eyeballs all over the garden. Boo!

Some fruits don't survive picking for very long, including the Transparent Apple. My mother in law in W Michigan loves them, but like pawpaws, they start to turn black in a couple days. If you need more challenge and a travel element to your reviews, maybe find a few of these!

Here's where the marchers turn on Wacker Drive and flip off Trump Tower, canting "Shame! Shame! Shame!"

NO ONE on North Michigan Ave! NO MARCHERS!

because the cops had to block traffic for blocks around for the protest on South Mich.

Great march in downtown Chicago. Saw one of my fave signs from the last march: "Oli-Gargle My Balls."

How fun is this? I'll have a new edition of Politically Correct Bedtime Stories soon in Italy, and they sent me the cover art for my okay. Well, hello, Snow Dali!
