After deep freeze we’ve had, beautiful weather this week. Took a drive to St Louis yesterday, going to take another drive somewhere here in central Illinois today. Even if we still have to be careful, it is nice to get out of the house and see some sunshine while not freezing.

A lot of roofs are buckling. With the thaw, the snow is extremely wet and heavy. Get some snow off your roof if it looks like it needs it.

Over-under on when the Kodatt resignation is official and when it takes effect?

Just came across this bronze nugget. Catalina Lauf announced late yesterday she will primary against Rep Kinzinger. Something to watch?

===Catalina Lauf===

Lauf retweets conspiracy theorists, is a Trumper, and has made it clear it’s about her, as she hops from district to district to district to find anyone who will take her seriously.

I mean, she came in behind Jim Oberweis in her last foolhearty run.

WGN is reporting that MJM’s replacement is stepping down. MJM put out a statement earlier demanding he step down. I wonder what is going on there.

==It included cutting the Fire Dept. budget in half.==

Not even close. They reduced a 41 million dollar budget by 1.4 million or 3.4%.

Anybody notice that the Peoria Township Supervisor race is currently being decided by a single vote? 3,054 to 3,053.

==…her last foolhardy run.==

That’s why I tried the play on words, “bronze nugget”. She came in third in that primary.

A few more days of this weather and maybe our trash will be picked up.

Re: Darren Bailey’s gubernatorial campaign — How do you run for governor of Illinois and at the same time call for the separation and expulsion of an area of the state from the rest of the state? When it comes to holding things together, he’s like the anti-Lincoln.
