1 day ago: The Protectorate of The Oyster Poor Boy ceased to exist.

Ugh! I have been spending too much time viewing the unfolding lava disaster in Lower Puna, Hawai'i

Hope all are well

Welcome to you, Mr. Mayor

Thank you! Although it doesn't look like I will be mayor for much longer.

In recent news the Lincoln Towing Co lost its licence to operate after the Illinois Commerce Commision pulled it. Steve goodman wrote this song about them some 50ish years ago. I took that long to shut them down due to the wonderful political climate here.

Hey Roxie hart, do you think that we'll be able to put an act together and perform on the vaudeville circuit?

I've my costume. We could do "Me and My Shadow".

Congratulations on being featured my friends!

Oooh, Chicago, I spent a fair bit of time in Chicago, I worked for a Trib-owned paper for over 20 years. So who wants some cake?

I came to Chicago from Montana when I received a scholarship to Northwestern and haven't left, save to return home to visit family occasionally.

Greetings from TAO. Just passing through on WalkAbout.

I once lived in Villa Park (Far West burbs) a few decades ago. My uncle lived in West Chicago until a few years ago -- across from the Kane County Cougars stadium. Fond memories.

5 days ago: -chicago- ceased to exist.

Wow

Believe it or not, I'm still here after a 18½ inch snow fall.

Wow -- what weather indeed
(of course as of this writing -- spring has sprung?)

After the great melt-off and temperatures unseasonably high there is a promise of snow by next week. "If you don't like the weather in Chicago, stick around, it'll change."
