All you need to know

More snow, this time moving from north to south.  Mountains of clouds over the lake meaning the plume is moving from north to south, straight down over Lake Michigan, and they're getting nailed.  I had an appointment with the optometrist yesterday and I took public transportation. This was greatly stupid as the sidewalks were all effed up but the streets were clear. This means bus stops were icy and snow covered so when one alighted, one had to use one's walking sticks or one might fall ass over teakettle onto the sidewalk.  I had sticks.  I should have driven.

Today was the laziest of all days and I never got dressed and I have put on fresh drawers and I spent a lot of time doing internet things but not thinking about this blog.

And that is all you need to know.  If you have MLK Day off, enjoy it and maybe think of Dr. King and why we celebrate his birth.  If you do not have MLK Day off, then your employer may be a cheapass punk who has no respect for the history of this great land. It's a federal holiday, just like Presidents Day, which cheapass punks also do not respect.  If you're a cheapass punk, you probably know who you are and like your job a little too much.

Who's that dame?

It has been many, many weeks since my last post and apparently I've not been missed. That is okay! Things have happened since my last attempt. Teranofuji won the May Basho -- if he wins in July, his Yokozuna status is assured -- and as of tomorrow I will be working 40 hours a week. I've not worked 40 hours a week in a year and a quarter and I am both happy and feeling what best can be described as lazy. I will miss YouTube and reading books. After thinking about it for many years, I decided to adopt a cat from PAWS Chicago. PAWS is a terrific place and since they opened their doors the number of cats that have been euthanized in Chicago has gone from 46,000 to 1,900. Much of this is due to trap, neuter, release for those who cannot be socialized and adopted; they are returned to their feral colonies to live out their lives with their felines pals. My cat, now named BB, was a stray. She always uses the box and covers her business; she sleeps on the bed with me but in her own s...

Have you seen the gallinule?

American purple gallinule, courtesy of VIREO Yesterday morning I set off with the birders to look at birds at the Magic Hedge near Montrose Harbor in Chicago.  As we were arriving, I found out a gallinule had been spotted very recently.   Two men were walking away from the harbor as we were leaving our car.  "Did you see the gallinule?" my sister asked. These were two very sweet and funny guys.  "No," said one, "but I saw a really big fish," and held his hands about 20 inches apart.  "I don't look at fish," said the second, "but I saw a grebe.  The gallinule is supposed to be down by Slip A." Fall at the Magic Hedge near Montrose Harbor, Chicago There was a difference for me this week.  I had my own [not great but they work and hey, they were free] binoculars.  I forgot my plastic bag so I couldn't concentrate on picking up trash (which was too bad as there was a lot of it).   I actually looked at something and was late...
