Sometimes you think you're going to spend an evening exploring a new city but the weather has other plans.

New state ✅

Lobbying

Bye bye Pittsburgh. It's been quite a week. Eventually I will post some of the cool things I saw, probably.

RELIEF VALVE ON

How do you put on your resume that you're good at getting drunk at work events in a good way?

Good morning Pittsburgh

Allegheny County Courthouse

GOT A SHIRT OF THIS ONE AT dashare.zone - DASHARE.ZONE ADMIN

It will always amaze me that we can just do this.

First time flying Southwest in the "activist investors ruin everything" era, and they really have created a luggage gate-check fiasco by charging to check bags. Amazing.

Same shot different day

Pill counting is my least favorite part of packing for a long trip.

Same shot same day

Same shot different day

Get at it, people less tired than me!

I was today years old when I figured out there is nothing stopping me from putting a turkey sandwich in the skillet, there by making it much more delicious.

Might fuck around and pack only one week worth of clothes for my two-week trip and use hotel laundry, a service I've never used before. Anyone have relevant experiences?

Feels like some kind of sin not to be on a long bike ride today, but at least I can do this.

Trying to lure an annoyingly energetic wasp out of the house via a transom window, and wow these are not smart creatures.

The problem with being a slug all day and eating dinner at 6pm is that I now desire second dinner at 8:30pm.

I need the storms to spread back up into the Chicago area so I feel better about not leaving the house today.

Note: 37th and Ashland is pretty far in compared to where we've seen them all week. It may be an anomaly but Pilsen and Bridgeport need to be on high alert for a multitude of reasons.

There comes a time in the life of every obsessive photographer when he has no choice but to discard all Lightroom previews because the preview file has grown to 485.28gb in size.

Literally the only thing I need to accomplish this weekend is to stop being sick, which is a very difficult thing to accomplish under time pressure.

One weird trick to help the Water Reclamation District excavate the next stormwater reservoir more quickly while ALSO making drivers afraid to drive badly, but CDOT isn't willing to deploy DFOs to protect vulnerable road users.

Spotted a tiny flock of mold on the sourdough so I have no choice but to eat six pieces of toast for breakfast. I don't make the rules.

This is such a good framework to understand the areas that ICE is targeting.

Some real Gilded Age stuff going on: Trump says Union Pacific's president urged him to send troops into Memphis, St. Louis, and Chicago, which are all important interchange points between UP and Norfolk Southern, the railroad UP is attempting to buy out

me [lying face down on the floor]: ladies and gentlemen, the weakened

i;m always thinking about those #Leftovers

Goodnight Chicago

Mister President, a third dose of DayQuil has hit the extremely nervous system.

If anyone is hiring for a lighthouse keeper, I am willing to relocate immediately.

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms. ‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms. But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

Now taking bets on how many times I'm going to have to step away from my desk and go walk around the block while muttering under my breath today.

Whoever invented the way of attaching images to emails where the images are just embedded in the emails and I need to go through a whole multi-step rigmarole to download them, I just want to talk.

The National Guard deployment that was meant for Chicago is going to Memphis instead. Love that for my family.

u;r always thinking about thos #Beans i;m always eating them we;r not the same

Today's adventures in Van Buren Station: the announcer announced the South Shore Line train to South Bend as the next train arriving on track 1 fifteen seconds after it departed from track 1. 👏

No thoughts, just vibes, and the vibes are bad.

I'm tired

Oh, is this not a good time to post conference sponsor acknowledgments on social media for some reason?

*spooky voice*: the Vallas was coming from inside the house.

Went out to grab lunch today and the cost was physically painful. I guess that's how I can tell I've gotten myself well-trained to pack lunch.

They should make a NyQuil that actually knocks you out.

Thinking about how little biking I'm going to have time for this month and getting sad about it.

It's fun to see my 5:37 Metra emerge from under Millennium Park at 5:35, hear the announcer at Van Buren say it would be next, and then watch it stop so a tardy South Shore Line train can cross in front of it and swoop in next instead. MED already 4 mins late at Van Buren. Teamwork!

What do they put it DayQuil that makes my nose un-plug immediately while I am in the process of drinking it? I want more of whatever that stuff is.
