After today’s off day the Sox play 17 straight days for to the end of the season, and they have a one game lead in the division. Fun September baseball ahead.
Graceland Cemetery re-opened yesterday. I don’t know how many trees it lost in the derecho but there was an 8 or 10 foot pile of debris by its back gate for the last three weeks and they weren’t letting people in the cemetery. I may go over there later and take a walk.
===It appears Pat Brady is endorsing Casten over Ives, per the Tribune.===
This is Brady boosting his progressive credentials…to make money.
With that said, he’s not wrong.

We probably were as orange as CA OK. It will probably never happen again . If farms went away we would probably go to forest because we are much wetter than the Prairie peninsula days.

CBSN Chicago just carried the first Madigan hearing and agreed on how to proceed consult with US Atty first. Meet again.Big contrast to DC GOP making a circus.
The folks who wrote the 1970 constitution didn’t get everything right, but moving the Governor election away from the Presidential election was a good move. How crazy would things be right now if we were also electing a governor??
excuse my ignorance, but does somebody know if a candidate pay for an endorsement? Meaning directly. “Do two ads Pat and you will get $$”? or is that illegal. Now I agree with Nag and OW, Brady will make money off this endorsement later, just curious if it is allowed to be paid by the campaign?
Fall arrives unevenly in metro Chicago area, but the annoying yellowjacket wasps are out . Bears continue their myopic false hopes that ‘Tru will lead them to victory. Illinois should look at aligning State and National elections schedules to save millions Statewide. Not a big sports fan, but nice to listen to parts of games on radio; almost seems normal for a moment. Can the NFL pull off their season after seeing how MLB has done with Covid, with more players/staff involved?? And I think we should ask Rich for an Oscar posting.

Was Illinois as orange as San Francisco is now when it had its notorious prairie fires?
It seem to match the Illini colors. Orange skies, blue lake.

You’re on it.
Pat Brady is the mirror image of Dan Proft in “signaling for grifting”
Once that’s established, even when I agree with Brady here, it’s still clarifies intent.

We will benefit when we adjust and clarify our collective vision…or suffer from blind faith.
