Connie, my condolences. Support vibes to you, whether you go outside or stay secluded to recover a bit.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

I cannot believe I am asking this, but I have a friend who needs to see them: Someone point me to the photos of Belinda the ultimate evil?

This is a friend who gleefully collects creepy and disturbing clown dolls. He refuses to believe that Belinda could be overwhelmingly disturbing. HE IS SO WRONG.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just got an email from my alderman about a proposed restaurant. I'm a little surprised at some of the old laws still on the books that are at issue:
The zoning on the property allows for a restaurant with an incidental liquor license, but several impediments stand in the way. The property currently resides in an area where the sale of alcohol is prohibited. The precinct in which the property is located was voted "dry" in 1936 under a state law, which gives voters in Chicago through a "local option referendum," an opportunity to vote on the question of whether to prohibit the sale of liquor in their precinct.
...
The precinct boundaries have changed since the 1936 referendum, which complicates matters somewhat.
...
Finally, when the area was in the 40th Ward, Alderman O'Connor sponsored and passed an ordinance imposing a moratorium on the sale of liquor along Devon Avenue. If the applicants are successful at convincing the voters to support lifting the prohibition either through a referendum or petition, I would sponsor an ordinance lifting the moratorium on liquor sales for the portion of Devon Avenue that includes the proposed business.
I wonder how many times they've lifted the moratorium on specific locations (seeing as there is a liquor store, a bar, and a grocery that sells alcohol within 3 blocks) and why they wouldn't just remove the moratorium altogether.
ION I'm trying to get back into the Pilates habit in the hopes it will prevent the kind of back problems I've had this past week. Day 1 done!

I can email it to you, Jilli.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

egad, Belinda is huge! My mind's eye must have shrunk her down to less terrifying size.

ugh - online job searching. Have only found jobs that would be at least a $15K pay cut. This is how this company keeps people, they do pay well.
