=efudd= I’ve noticed duck hunters can now start in t-shirts. October is the new September.And yes, I know it hit -14 in Springfield in January. On that day, I took a Google trip around the world looking at Northern cities. None were colder than Springfield that day.Including north slope of Alaska. It was only cold here. And the week before Australia hit 121….efudd..LOL… I have this urge to watch “Duck season rabbit season ” now
I just talked to an Illinois senator and he was ranting about the need for pension reform. He did not know about Tier 2 and said he would check into it.

R A T, Why am I not surprised. Care to reveal the senator’s party affiliation?
Cook County circuit judges are electing their Chief Judge this afternoon. Tim Evans has been CJ for 18 years and is being challenged by Lorna Propes. Both have been campaigning very hard.
There was a booth at today’s Daley Center farmers market selling stuff from the garden at 26th and Cal. I bought a pint of Bees Behind Bars honey from them.
RNUG, I’m heading down through Springfield again for A St. Louis scooter rally, if you’d like to meet up at the “usual” place around 8:30am on the 26th.

Mid-September and heat index of 100 today.
Looks like I’ll be bow hunting in shorts next month.

Is there a list anywhere of candidates who have announced their intention to run for State Rep or Sen seats for 2020?

I’ve got the Bears -2.5 for the game Sunday against Denver. Predictions?

If things stay true to form you could be hunting in a snow suit.

CMS is requiring mandatory in-person attendance at a pre-bid meeting for the future of JRTC, and the meeting is in Springfield. Seems a bit odd.

OOS- Bears 14, Denver 17

“Bears 14, Denver 17″ 2 touchdowns and no field goals? Unless you figure one of those coming from the defense, that seems … optimistic.

Outofstate I have the same. Also took the under at 40

Glad you went back to the scribble live. The Twitter thing didn’t work right on my phone

The Fighting Illini look better this year, though they have yet to be really tested. Will they get 6 wins?

When it is January, it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere

Came across two different candidate petitions which list “Democrat Party” as their affiliation. Never heard of the individuals.
The games begin.

Skeptic, I am accounting for a missed fg/extra point. Also, yes at lest 1 defensive TD or a turnover that becomes a TD for the Bears.
