Winter has arrived in the 217.

More three day weekends, please.
How about Illinois leads the nation in establishing the 4 day work week? A day for leisure, a day for rest, and a day for all the rest!

It appears that if Bailey had called Chicago a “rat hole” rather than a “hell hole”, he’d have been right: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/10/realestate/us-cities-rats.html

Basically everyone who isn’t a government employee who I work with decided to email me on Friday while I was out of the office for veteran’s day. I know it is pretty minor to complain about a holiday, but there are few things more dispiriting than firing up Outlook on Monday morning and seeing 2-3x as many emails as you usually have.

Shaking my fist at the Sun-Times- they did a spread this past week about how reliable Cairo Santos is…

Loyal- Santos did not throw a pick six.

In a year when you don’t have Rodgers appearing unstoppable, you lose to Detroit…

I’m wondering if the Senate will continue with the same COVID protocols they had back in March. Has anyone heard anything?

===Has anyone heard anything? ===
I asked over the weekend, but haven’t yet been given a definitive answer.

looking forward to a time where I can watch a Bears game with some level of confidence they will win rather than the feeling Ive had for last 10 years simply wondering how they will lose.

It is sunny and there’s only 37 days to the days getting longer. hope.

If Durkin steps down from his seat, by my count there will be 6 House Republicans who were in office before the 2016 election. 7 if you include Rosenthal retaking his old seat

Rep. Butler cited the fact that he knew 4 terms was enough. He’s been on his 4th term for a couple years now. Why run unopposed and resign a day or so after the election? He deprived his own constituents of voting for their 2023 representative in a timely fashion.
Actually I can guess why he did it that way. He ( and possibly advisers) thought that the seat might not be unopposed if a different Republican were to run. That might mean a Democrat might win. That’s the voter’s right to decide, not the party. I dislike this playing games attitude.

The Bears’ season is primarily about the development of Fields instead of their record. It’s safe to say he’s there as a rusher. Now they need to get him to be a consistent 250+ yd passer. Yesterday’s loss stinks but look at it as them getting a higher pick for a top rusher or OT next Spring.

Got my mastodon server up and running. Run by two nerds in Berwyn. My husband has been driving this project (he deals with the aws side while I deal with the linux/mastodon side.) I just about got carpal tunnel setting up the block list. Gee there are a lot of horrible people in the fediverse. Thus they get defederated and they get defederated via the blocklist which appears to be a never ending game of whack-a-mole as new ones pop up. I am going to write a script to make this easier.

Welcome to my world.

Bears…maybe next year. But Fields is DA MAN.
“Mastodon server”? “Linux”? MX-Linux desktop user here; I see you’re a person of Linux culture as well. (I looked up Mastadon, but I thought you meant a 386SX server from the 1980’s for a second.)
