Are Chicagoistas bracing for Snowpocalypse?
No.
I did something to my knee that makes it a little painful to walk. If there's lots of snow and my knee still hurts, I'll probably stay home tomorrow....
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No sign of it so far. I'm kind of hoping it's bad enough that I have to work from home (and miss my dental appt and a whole bunch of pointless meetings) but I'm kind of thinking that's unlikely.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I gave my daughter a snack of goldfish crackers, the regular cheddar flavor ones, and chocolate milk.
She poured the chocolate milk over the crackers and is eating them like cereal, with evident relish
My child is WEIRD.

Is Matt around? Sounds like he's in worse shape than we are - tornadoes hitting that area.

I'm watching a Frontline story (and backstory on the fuckedupness- let's just say safety was number elevehundred) on foundries. They are McWane owned ones. My brother regularly takes his kids to a science museum/exploratorium in Birmingham called the McWane Center. Same family. Yeash. It appears they've cleaned up. I wonder if the Center is a part of that (it's pretty new-looking- and awesome.)

I just heard the dumbest commentary ever. The announcer said, 'My prediction is someone will win this game.' That would be awesome in electionese -- a pollster says, "98% of Californians believe someone will win this election."

Especially when for the first time in memory Super Tuesday very well may not decide anything, on either side.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The announcer said, 'My prediction is someone will win this game.'
That's just awesome -- I think it might even beat the previous winner, "increasingly, this primary season is coming down to who has the most delegates" (which a dear friend of mine pointed out is an awful lot like saying that the super bowl came down to who got the most points.)

I love that today is Super Fat Tuesday! It makes me feel like I fit right in.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
But I think it was done completely unironically. Like I might say, "It's too close to call. I predict someone will win." But they didn't do that.
People make me laugh.
We had pancakes for dinner.
I need to get a copy of a credit report to send to my potential new landlord. Any ideas on how I do that?
