Just happened to look out the window and saw the unmistakable silhouette of a 4 engine wide body. Glad Lufthansa is still keeping these going. Most of three 747s I see are cargo.

Went to Montrose beach and with the naked eye could barely see a faint glow on the horizon. My crew was getting cold around 8, so we called it a night. There was SO MUCH traffic still coming in when we left. I hope it kicks off for all those folks.

I missed the a Chicago sunset tonight, but my descent into Charlotte wasn’t too bad.

O’Hare bound on the Blue Line, waiting in a highway median. At least all the slow moving traffic makes me feel better about choosing to use transit.

Three years in Chicago, but today I felt like a Chicagoan. So proud to call this place home. Inspired to keep up the fight. We. The. People.

To make it even worse (as if tear gassing a neighborhood street isn't bad enough), this is right by an elementary school. The person filming is initially standing right by this tree and that's the school in the background. The playground is just out of view.

Here are the totals from 2024. 34% of people in TN voted for a democrat to represent them in congress, but 1/9 (11%) of TN's reps are dem. Gerrymandering infuriates me.

Good day on the North Branch. It has a bit of everything. Not bad at all for a trail so easily reached from the north side.

Had a truly amazing day today in Chicago. Then on my way home I learn our president is declaring war on this city? Fuck him.

It seems fitting that their flag is in tatters on streetview.

Finally got the MTB out this year. It’s sad I hadn’t at all until now. Silver Lake is a lot of fun and not a bad drive. I’ll definitely be going back.

Apparently today some were replaced. I noticed on my walk tonight that the signs at Winchester are brand new. I didn’t walk any further so not sure if they got more replaced. I guess we can start the clock to see how long these last.

Our girl is 10 today. Hard to believe! Slowly seeing her slow down which is hard, but she still has a lot of moments where she sure doesn’t act 10. Hopefully many more years to come. 🎂

Noticed this too recently and took a pic of one of them at Winchester. I’ve even seen cars hit them while walking in the area. Some of it seems to stem from cars passing stopped buses.

Wow, the cicadas are louder than I’ve ever heard them before. Wait, why does it sound like it’s inside?!
Oh…
