A recent conversation with a guy in the know taught me: you can't throw a pizza box into the recycle dumpster because the grease marks disqualify it as clean recycle. I didn't know that. Also, no plastic bags because they jam the conveyor belts at the recycling center. i did know that but only since someone told me a couple months ago.
Idea for a series of 30 second public service announcements. 'what NOT to put in the recycle bin'.......... i bet people would learn something.
If you want to have an interesting family/friends discussion, name the 5 most famous people from Chicago or the 5 best athletes in Chicago history or pick a team...........let's say the cubs.....and pick the 5 best of all time. i guarantee a lively discussion will follow so have the rescue squad on speed call.
Just thought of another one. the old stranded on a desert island story---what 5 movies would you take? mine would be the GODFATHER 1 & 2, JAWS, BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID with the final one being..........i'll think about it for a while.
Exactly how do you practice social distancing on the sideline of a NFL game? 53 players +10 reserves+10 coaches+4 trainers & doctors+10 equipment people+game officials gets you to about 100 people who will need 600 feet for distancing and the field is only 300 feet long. uh-oh.
I was a long time holdout on texting but i have to admit it's the best form of quick communication. but i still enjoy talking on the phone.
I'm giving the garden a year off. planted two tomato plants on the sunny side of the house. done.
COLIN KAEPERNICK, the man who started the "i'm not going to stand for the national anthem" debacle has not played football in three years but his girlfriend is mad at the NFL because they listed him as retired. I don't think he cares after his 10 million dollar settlement but the league changed his designation to 'unrestricted free agent' to shut her up. And he'll get his next job in the NFL when????? the first word that came to your mind was absolutely correct. N-E-V-E-R
What kaepernick and many people don't understand is that for every action, there's a reaction and your actions always have consequences. do you have the right to drive 60 mph in a 40 mph zone? sure, go ahead but then don't whine when you get a ticket and a big fine. kaepernick was doing 100 mph............
I still don't get all the angst over voting by mail. every day we hear 'avoid crowds and stand apart' so why stand in line for an hour at a polling place? i've early voted for years to avoid the crowds but now you have no idea who was in the booth just before you and with a shortage of election judges, you know the booth won't be sanitized after each voter. and as far as those claims of 'massive voter fraud with mail-in ballots'?
that's totally unsubstantiated garbage. VOTE BY MAIL.
Following the previous thought, i see where 16 year olds are eligible to be election judges. smart. plenty of sophomores and junior looking for work. Fifty bucks a day and they won't have to get their computer hands dirty.
If you haven't been in the military and have no real idea, take a guess at this. what does a raw army recruit make a month while in boot camp? i took a guess and was real wrong. now think about it..........

$1640.00 a month! i think that's pretty good for a kid who knows nothing about the military and gets room and board and professional training as part of the package. That's just under twenty grand. i thought it was much less than that.
Not that i'm complaining, but why were liquor stores deemed essential? never mind. silly question.
I'm forming a band because of my long hair and i've decided to be the drummer. please apply if you haven't had a cut or trim since JANUARY. (just before i went to mexico)
FRIED BALONEY WITH AMERICAN CHEESE ON RYE BREAD but only if the baloney is charred black. That's why they don't call it a warm baloney sandwich.
AFRICAN-AMERICANS make up about a third of Chicago's population but suffer almost half of the covid-19 deaths. why is that? my friend said poverty has a lot to do with it. maybe.
Again, NANCY PELOSI was way out of line with her comments about the president's weight. her defense was that 'well, he makes the same type of comments about women all the time.' ms pelosi, as we all learn early on....two wrong don't make a right. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED AND APOLOGIZE. playing in the gutter is for other people.
she has really pissed me off.
My cub fan nephew frank will be happy. PORTILLO's is opening another restaurant down the street a piece from wrigley field. the boy would kill for their dogs and beefs.
Do you remember when the mailman delivered twice a day?? true story. people would get their electric bill in the morning mail, write a check and put it in the box on the front of your house and it was picked up about 2 p.m. the SAME DAY. (twice the agony if you were waiting for something to arrive) Everyone knew your carrier's name and gave him christmas presents and invited him in on real hot or cold days. no mas.
With the shutdown, more people are hunting and fishing than ever before. just under SIXTEEN THOUSAND turkeys were harvested (nice way of saying whacked) in Illinois, just missing the record of 16,599 set in 2006. the DNR also says that 'everyone is fishing, all day every day, rain or shine' and fishing license purchases are up 13,000 from last year. like i said earlier, you can only watch so many movies.
I'm making ribs, cajun burgers and spicy Italian sausages on the grill this weekend if mother nature lets me.but a tornado watch was just issued for the next 7 hours so it's time to batten down the hatches.
BE SAFE AND WEAR A MASK. HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! adios
