Wednesday evening, at the nearest intersection to our home, there were 4 fire trucks, 3 fire department SUVs, 2 police cars, and an ambulance that all rolled up and blocked the intersection. 10 minutes later they were all gone. It was extremely odd.
Cubs continue to irritate me. Worst 90 win team I’ve seen in my lifetime.

Armed ICE agents cruising along the Chicago River Downtown. Where’s the Dave Matthews Band when you need them?

International RT-66 Morher Road Festival in downtown Springfield this weekend. Lots of streets blocked off and parking restricted.
This morning I have to finish cleaning the classic station wagon I’m taking down there.

The weather is supposed to be gorgeous this weekend - upper 70s, low 80s, and sunny. So I’ll be enjoying the Hyde Park Jazz Festival.

Actually, it’s Customs and Border Patrol patrolling the Chicago river/harbor.
So…..exactly where are our international borders?

Hopefully this year the well-being of the homeless in and near downtown Springfield is better respected. Unlike last year shortly before the festival:
