It looks like the one I used to worked at is safe for now. I'm surprised I still remembered the store number.

erika, we're seriously hoping the prison guards go on strike. Then Walker would really have an excuse to call out the National Guard. They're calling him the Mubarak of the Midwest. Yeah, public relations is not his strong suit.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Damn. The four five Borders I go to the most often are all closing.
Well, crap. What will I do for two hour dinner breaks during tech when the North/Clybourn store is gone? State/Randolph will be my only remaining store.
Brenda, the Mag Mile one is already closed.

PEOPLE!!! Have you seen the nightmare that is....PAJAMA JEANS?!Q?!?!?!>
See, this is what happens when you allow Snuggies. People try to wear them outside. Unleash the Tim Gunn fashion correction scorn!
I like the Borders in Union Square but generally go to B&N if I'm going to a big store.
I wonder why somebody doesn't go with the Powells' model. Buy up property in rundown downtowns for cheap, and shelve new and used books side by side. It's becoming more and more clear that you can't lease a space and make a bookstore work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
State/Randolph will be my only remaining store.
I suppose I could schlep my tuchus down there.
'Cuz you know, sometimes I can't wait for Amazon.

Seriously, it came out of nowhere.
Yeah, we got some sun just now and I went out to walk the dog, and then got hit with more rain/sleet/small hail. And then in seven minutes the sun came out again. Wacky weather.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hm, now I don't know whether to go run errands now and hope I don't get hailed on or just sit tight until it passes.
Kat, I think you're supposed to be filming Noah for YouTube. That's modern post-dentist parenting, right?

This is good--Keith Moreland has been named to replace the late Ron Santo on WGN radio Cubs broadcasts.
To quote Steve Goodman:
Have the Cubbies run right out into the middle of the field,
Have Keith Moreland drop a routine fly
