I got an email from 47th ward “Crews are preparing to make some asphalt patches for a smoother transition around the new raised crosswalks and speed humps. They will also be fixing the speed hump north of Ainslie, which was accidentally made too narrow, next week.“

I think TSA is starting to. I flew out of a small airport 2 weeks ago and they asked me to stand in front of a camera and then didn’t even look at my passport or boarding pass. I started taking my shoes off and they said to leave laptop and liquids in my bags and keep my shoes on.

They emailed me back asking for a screenshot, which was included in my original email. Literally per my last email.

I’m happy for you but I’m not doing all that for them, they just aren’t getting images anymore
