1. Boy, do I hate the runner-on-second-for-extra-innings rule.
   (I know that’s an issue of major national concern, but it came up in a local context last night.)

2. Watching Gio and Bieber go at it last night was fun. Only thing missing was a Dub for the Sox.

3. Kudos to the folks staffing the vaccine site at the State Fairgrounds. Well oiled machine.

4. Have to say Kudos to the crew staffing the Sangamon County Senior Center site in Springfield. Between the staff and the military crew, the process was fast and really easy to do.

   We did get the J&J shot so far nothing has fallen off of us or grown on us.

5. In the subscriber sections, Rich mentioned that the House Chief Doorkeeper Lee Crawford runs a charity that collects business clothes to help financially disadvantaged people dress appropriately for job interviews.

   I need to go through my closet, but I know I have session clothes I don’t wear anymore. Does anyone know how I could get ahold of Mr. Crawford? Thanks!

6. Got my 2nd shot at the Forest Park supersite today. It’s in an old HOBO. Huge! Very well run. The soldiers were awesome! Friendly, polite, seemed to be happy to be doing the work.

   They had absolutely no problem with first vacc having been at Chicago Department of Public Health and this one Cook County Department of Public Health. I live in Cook County, but work in Chicago, I guess each one putting in half is fair enough!

7. The IL Senate Democrats created a website where anyone can create a proposed map. It has upsides, but real functionality downsides such as when trying to remove blocks from a district after assigning. Example: the inability to unassign whole townships if there is a mix of the township partly in a district & partly not.

8. Today’s BBC Travel story is about Cahokia

9. Shoot out the tires of someone retreating into a vehicle instead of shooting the retreating driver.
