Ok, let's start with something nice. I saw my first lightning bug tonight and it was exactly that.....one. I'm sure many of you remember back when you were kids, it was quite different. Growing up in west suburban Northlake, it was a rite of summer to run around with a mason jar and capture as many as you could before your parents told you it was time to go in the house. Each jar had a screw-on cover which was punctured with many air holes (normally done by your dad with an ice pick because it was too dangerous for kids) and in the morning you would check the jar to see if any survived the night. Not many but we did it again the next night. Where have they all gone??
By the way, what ever happened to ice picks?
Helicopters to pursue car jackers? I'm confused because the ghetto rats normally point a gun at you when you're stopped at the intersection and then they take your money and cell phone before driving off. How & when do the copters get involved? This rivals in stupidity Mayor Lightfoot's idea to seize the property of gang members ............who never put anything in their name. Duh.
Congratulations to the city for recognizing that suicide is a growing problem with first responders and they are changing the insurance package to assist the survivors. Now the family will receive one year's salary plus extended family insurance. Leading cause of police officers deaths the last four years? covid-19. Second leading cause? suicide.
The city of Chicago is once again tying the hands of police officers regarding foot pursuits of the ghetto rats. Before....you pull your squad over to talk to the maggots and they take off running....you chase them and find out why they ran. New policy? You can't chase them. Just let them disappear into the night. WTF?? I guarantee you that 'field stops' will become a thing of the past because nobody wants to be dis-respected like that. Stupid.
The Democrats will get absolutely destroyed in the mid-term elections.
Our good buddy R. KELLY gets sentenced in New York on June 29th. Can't wait. I'm guessing 27 years which will be the same as a death sentence. And he still has serious charges pending in Chicago.
ANOTHER grocery store located in a ghetto neighborhood closed it's doors on June 12th, citing declining sales and 'repeated' burglaries. 'Nuff said. Aldi's closing follows Bank of America, CVS, Save a Lot, Chase Band and Whole Foods folding their tents and escaping the west and south sides. Gee, I wonder why they're all leaving?
Ever eaten carp? I did about 5 years ago and while the taste is best described as 'interesting' and 'different', I did not go back for seconds. Asian carp is a problem in the Illinois River and the DNR is spending $600,000 in publicity to get people to try it and hopefully like it. Have you ever looked at a carp? UGLY.
I still don't understand crypto cash and want nothing to do with it. I like dollars in my hand and I just can't invest in some imaginary money that I can't see or hold and have no idea how it gains and loses value. I just read that a single bit coin went from $69,000 down to $20,000 in a very short time. I would rather sit down at a poker table.
Uvalde, Texas is a mess and has been from start to present. Every day, more information is released that makes the police look like cowards and also unprepared for an emergency. The Chief was put on leave today and look for more reckoning down the road.
My friend Tony and I disagreed on the Ukraine situation from the start. Tony felt they were being very brave in standing up to the Russians but I felt that they should surrender immediately and save their country. Have you seen pictures of their country lately? Total devastation. 140 million ALWAYS beats 40 million and recently, armament sent by the U.S. was destroyed by missiles because it was just sitting unused because they don't have enough soldiers versed in how to operate the cannons. I feel sorry for the people of that country but enough is enough.
Did you see Joe Biden fall off his bicycle the other day? Looked just like me when I bought my brother's Yamaha 650. Laid it down the second day I had it. Ah, memories.
My new car? Coming along just fine but I just found out it can park itself just like commercials on tv. I have zero idea how it works so a trip to the dealership is in my near future. 22.5 MPG which beats the Explorer's 14.8 and at $6 a gallon, I'll take it.
Did you read about the lady in northern California who is charging $10 a gallon? Her excuse is that she is an independent who only sells gas so that price is justified. I'm just wondering if she'll be receiving a visit from the feds to explain her price gouging. What a jerk.
Amazon music for $4.99 a month is a super bargain and beats the hell out of Sirius by about 9 bucks a month. I think you have to be a Prime member. Enjoy.
I get Juneteenth but I still don't understand reparations for something that happened 150 years ago, which is 5 generations. EXACTLY how does slavery back then qualify someone today for a cash payout? How were they affected by something that happened 5 generations ago? It makes absolutely no sense to me. Kind of like wiping out student loans. Why?
Summer is officially here and I want to wish EVERYONE a safe and happy season. Enjoy the weather and the 4th of July and remember to AVOID CHICAGO. Violence is part of everyday life in Chicago so don't become part of it.
I'm in the gazebo almost every night listening to music and looking for lightning bugs but if you want to stop, I welcome your visit. Just phone first.
That's it for now. MANTENTE A SALVO Y DISFRUTA DEL VERANO!! 😁
