End of the road for Palmer Street. Just an example of what happens at every crosswalk everywhere.

Caretaker for 2 Border Collies.

This passage reminded me of when George W. Bush proposed a worker visa program. I googled and found this link:
georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/release...
Despite a widespread belief among native-born Americans that Mexicans came to the United States to steal jobs from American workers, many were invited to the country to work in its fields. In 1942, the U.S. Mexican Farm Labor Program, also known as Operation Bracero after the Spanish term for “manual laborer,” began. The program funneled Mexicans into the United States on a legal, temporary basis in exchange for guaranteed wages and humane treatment—an attempt by the Mexican government to stave off the discrimination faced by earlier immigrants.

Illinois is a no id state according to this:
www.illinoislegalaid.org/legal-inform...
Question Is there a law that requires you to carry any kind of ID card with you? If I carry an ID, do I have to show it if the police ask for it? If I don’t have to show an ID, can I refuse to identify myself? Answer There is no state of Illinois or domestic passport law. You cannot be forced to show an ID. You can be asked to identify yourself only if the police reasonably suspect that you are in the process of committing a crime or committed a crime and: You are in a public place; The police think you are part of a crime; and The police tell you that they are police. The police can suspect you of any crime. The crime can be a past, present, or future offense. Once the police identify themselves, they can stop and question any person in a public place that they suspect is involved in a crime (past or present). If you are not under arrest, all questioning should occur in the general area where you were stopped and should be for a reasonable amount of time. The police can ask for the following: Your name; Your address; and A reason for your actions.

This is NIMBY speak.
Some South Siders “unequivocally” oppose the quantum park’s construction, and want to see the billions of dollars slated for the project instead go toward developments chosen by existing residents, they said at a rally and press conference Tuesday.

Lots of high platitudes but no details to piss off NIMBY voters.
Increase affordable housing units across all neighborhoods Increase existing housing stock through rehabilitation of distressed properties and leverage vacant and foreclosed properties to boost housing supply Incentivize private development of housing through reduction of red tape, ensure faster permitting, and lower the cost to build in Chicago

Over 100 drivers drove through this stop sign on 8/20/2025. It resulted in $0 fines.

This ad made me laugh because it came up shortly after I posted the Malort pic. The Malort bottle was a gift from The Corner Bar. I'm not a Psycho. :-)

This is my image of Missouri
Mark and Patricia McCloskey gained instant notoriety after video of them waving and pointing guns at Black Lives Matter demonstrators from the front yard of their St Louis mansion spread across the internet. Now they've appeared as speakers at the Republican National Convention.
