* Happy Monday! Here’s an Isabel video from last week…

And, yes, I’m aware that Oscar needs a haircut. So do I.

I hope the fair was a fun success. Now onto another one, for some stupid reason. Despite Baileys wishes, Illinois is one State.

Thanks for the Oscar fix. Great way to start the week.

Fire Tony just because Sox hasn’t been able to do a 5-7 game-ish winning streak recently of their own (as the Cards and Cubs have).

Fun times with the Cards playing five games at the north side ball club… wish it was more relevant in the standings.

Other than it’s basically serving as the Cubs’ “world series” this year.

That should read HB4799…Free the Weed.

Never during this year’s State Fair did I see any mention in the media of the previous day’s attendance. Wasn’t that long ago that the world would grind to a halt if those attendance figures were not made available to the media by 10:00 the following morning.

YouTuber Tom Scott has posted an interesting 7m video on the electrification system of the Chicago and Sanitary Ship Canal trying to stop the copi getting into the great lakes.

I learned quite a few things from it.
