Font game: 21 of 34
Wow.
I was just guessing randomly, and then gave up....
More than 100 people mobbed the intersection of North Milwaukee and Damen Avenues around 9:15 a.m., jostling for position on the packed sidewalk after a conductor cleared the platform at the Damen stop. Some commuters sat for more than 30 minutes while a southbound train sat idle at the station.
The few taxicabs that passed through the intersection were already taken, prompting exasperated screams from those trying to get downtown.
That's the center of Wicker Park.
Exasperated screams, huh?
Good thing all those passengers weren't trapped in a train with a cougar....
fun Tommyrot!
(30/34)
Yeah, they had the intesection almost shut down around the Grand/Milwaukee stop about an hour ago. Cab driver said the problem started around Division, so whatever it is, it's growing.
Wow. I thought I was pretty hot with 13 out of 34.
I got the first 5 right just off the bat. I thought I could do no wrong.
Then the Font Game schooled me in how deluded I was.
Well, they're turning Southbound trains around at the Damen stop and sending them back North to O'Hare, so now that's where everyone has to get off....
98% of what I do is in Times New Roman or Ariel. Or, you know, I'm writing a query where the font is not applicable.
yeah. this is probably what took up a good chunk of the math calculation storage area up in my brain.

eta: because I'm obviously not storing the Chicago Manual or On Writing Well anymore...
Fluffy puppy!
My brother has two Malamutes, and I happened to be out visiting him for Christmas the day after they got the dogs. Talk about fluffy puppies! They were two adorable balls of fur that were carried by us from their hangout in the basement to the backyard when they had to do their business. I was also lucky enough to be there on Christmas day when they experienced their first snow--it was so much fun seeing them trying to figure out what this cold wet white stuff was, and then discovering that it was what they were bred for and playing around in it...so cute.
They're a lot bigger now, and the back yard is their home. If they're out of their run and hanging out on the deck when you go out to visit them, they try and jump on you for the required petting session. They don't understand that they're not lap dogs!
