Helvetica doesn't have the slants on things like the top of lower-case t and the ends of lower-case c.)
Helvetica doesn't have any slants at all. All the strokes terminate at right angles. You can see a slight slant in the uppercase Arial “S”. The uppercase Helvetica “R” and “G” are quite distinctive, too.

We have beautiful blue skies here in Colorado.
My new laptop was just delivered. I want to open and play, but I'm supposed to be working and I have a busy weekend. First world whine.
Granta magazine (out of England) has devoted its entire September issue to Chicago. There's a great article on the city as told by a labor attorney, which starts off with a Blagoyevich rant, proceeds through his hopes for Obama (interview was done in early March), and then ends with the city's geographical location, between the flatness of the prairie and the flat water of Lake Michigan.
