* A bit of harmless silliness, but I laughed about this a lot yesterday so I figured I’d post it. NBC 5…
Speaking at an event alongside Gov. J.B. Pritzker Monday, Lightfoot said she certainly hopes Chicago can fully reopen by June 11, which is when Illinois plans to enter Phase 5, however she didn’t commit to a specific date.
“We’re headed in the right direction,” the mayor said. “But everything about this pandemic has to have an asteroid of caution, because of the twists and turns, and as the governor and doctor said, we’ve got to get people vaccinated, so that we can get ahead of these variants.”
She actually said “asterisk of caution,” of course, but I kinda like asteroid.

A “boulder of salt” is feeling slighted today.

Asteroid is better. Something big that comes out of nowhere and threatens to flatten you. I’m stealing that.

I still laugh at the typo a few weeks ago on the Will County Republican Committee, about their rent being “in the rears”.

An asteroid of caution, a colt of lightning, the boar of thunder.

If only the dinosaurs had heeded that looming asteroid of caution.

Wouldn’t have even thought it was a typo if it wasn’t pointed out. Asteroid of caution just feels right.

“An atom bomb of angst”
“A sledgehammer of unease”
“An armageddon of disquiet”

An asteroid of caution
A meteor of doubt
A waxing and waning opportunity
And a syzygy of clout

We definitely need more laughs.

Considering that this past year has been rather like a black hole, I think “asteroid” is appropriate.

An asteroid of caution describes Lightfoot’s administration to a “T”

If you think about it, the pandemic was a bit like getting hit by an asteroid.

Why does everyone assume I’m a typo?

Are they sure it’s not a large boulder the size of a small boulder?

I saw Asteroid of Caution at Lounge Ax.

Better chances of an asteroid than a hurricane

When they publish the record books will her entire mayoral career be marked with an asterisk?
