That’s good news (banned punctuation). Scattered power outages downstate (south of I-70). Good morning everyone

Illini football begins Spring Practice today. The new OC will find out if he has a QB or not.

It’s dark out there. I have errands to run, but right now, looking out the window, I don’t want to go anywhere.

My week is all messed up. Started on Sunday morning. Thought it was Monday, fired up the work computer, had cup of coffee, told Sheba I had to go to work. She said it was Sunday, still a day off.

Brain has not yet made adjustments to correct day of week.

Second day into 3rd year of working from home.

I got a text poll last night that strongly implied Mike Quigley is exploring a mayoral run

===strongly implied ===

It was almost a flat-out admission

So more folks on the train lately, worst compliance of the mask rules at union station is the Amtrak cops, it appears they need to have them down when talking to each other.

Is the JCAR hearing live yet? Been trying to stream it and the audio just sounds like a radio station that’s not coming in.

April showers, bring May flowers…errr, March showers (from global warming), bring April/May flowers, I guess.
