The fields around my home are nearly done with harvesting. The temperature is definitely jacket weather. My midwestern wife allows enjoys these days of “long shadows” as she calls them. It is pretty here on the West Central Illinois Prairie in the Fall.
Another day without any news about if the Hawks/Sox/Bulls channel is going to be on Xfinity yet, and where.
I swear, these guys are going to bleed fans if they keep this up. You’d think they’d look at the reduced ratings for the Cubs on Marquee as a major warning sign, but nope, guess not.

It’s all about the money, boys. If there are fewer fans or fans can’t access the content, they do not care. Especially for Bulls and Sox, which will be on the market soon enough. Gotta get the balance sheet looking as good as possible. Owners….

I’m seeing tons of signs that say only “Vote No.”
These folks are too lazy to even say what they want people to vote against.
Or maybe they’re just so angry they want people to vote against everything.

@Cheswick
Thanks for the heads up on the Sangamo Club auction.
Very hard to see the old place close. The folks at that club were always so nice. They made you feel at home from the moment you walked in the door.
No question time matches on. So many clubs have closed in Chicago and that has been a trend for at least a decade.
Still all in all miss that place. Lot’s of memories with old friends and acquaintances in that place.
Freshly retired Springfield Police SGT Eagan was in court today on a preliminary hearing for aggravated DUI. He got front of the line treatment again, no additional charges despite critically injuring 2 people, and a trial date set for December 2.

The old Sangamo Club could be a great new home possibility for Cafe Moxo if their current Adams Street location is deemed uninhabitable after the block fire on Juneteenth.

Extremist groups threatened to SWAT schools in the south suburbs of Chicago. Just got an email from my principal that us staff should be wary of any calls concerning a threat

Fished the Kankakee River yesterday.
Perhaps the cleanest river in Illinois now.
The advocates who started pushing for cleanup 50 plus years ago would be proud.
