An addition to the list of 5 people I want to punch in the face: Republican gubernatorial candidate DARREN BAILEY. Sometimes you just meet people who need a punch in the face. The commercial where he's asked about whether he would allow abortion for victims of rape and incest and he answers in that low brow twang, "as of right now, I'd say noooo." Ok, Mr. Bailey, your answer indicates that there is some wiggle room for the future and we both know that's a lie. Your answer should have been 'hell NO!!' Liar, plain & simple. And that's the reason no one will contribute to his campaign. Two faced prick. My election bet in this particular race is that Pritzker will win by more than 7%. I made that bet 4 months ago and I know I'm right.
*******
And speaking of wagers, I took a large position on this one: donald trump WILL NOT be the republican candidate for president and I made those bets back in January of 2021 after collecting major money from the trumpty-dumptys . Nothing to lose, everything to gain.

Good for JOE BIDEN for issuing pardons to people convicted of simple possession of marijuana. Now if the individual states would just follow suit.

Chicago is attacking the crime problem! With little kids dying in the streets, car jackings up, robberies elevated, metra crimes out of control up and many neighborhoods still like the wild, wild west, the answer is,,,,,,,,,,,,,WRITE MORE PARKING TICKETS! Seriously, citations are up 25% but drive-by shootings are up. And you wonder why I tell you to avoid Chicago like the plague? And one more thing: you don't want your family members to get a parking ticket while they're claiming your body at the morgue. No bueno, amigos.

Just got back from upstate New York and while it wasn't the purpose of our visit, the fall colors are SPECTACULAR so if you like the changing leaves, the locals told me to book the 2nd week of October for maximum viewing pleasure. I have to admit that it was pretty cool and the roads are very hilly so you get excellent panoramic views.

I don't know how they get the numbers but apparently Chicago is ranked 23rd in the nation in using cuss words with a daily average of 17 while COLUMBUS, OHIO took the crown with 36 nasty words per day. In typical Chicago fashion, many city dwellers were offended that Chicago finished that low. 😖😠

Just a reminder that early voting is open if you like doing the in-person thing. I chose to use the mail-in ballot which, by the way, is postage free. Sign up once and they mail you ballots forever unless you cancel.

I love creative commercials and the Geico ad where the guy goes up to the attic of his new house and pulls the string to the light bulb and finds all sorts of mannequins in various stages of disrepair and the lizard says "Well, enjoy your new home" and the guy responds by slowing backing away saying "Nope. No thank you." The look on his face is classic.

DUH award of the week goes to the Maywood man who walked into the lobby of a west side police station with a BB gun in a plastic bag with just the barrel sticking out. When he raised the weapon, the officers responded as trained and he was shot in the arm. The moron told the bond court that he was just trying to get the officer's attention, Well, he got it.

If you like shooting stars/meteors and don't mind missing a little sleep, then Friday morning starting around 3 a.m., 15-20 meteors per hour will be in the night sky. The moon will be just a sliver so these bits of Halley's Comet should be very visible. Enjoy!

DANGER! DANGER! A New York City man was arrested for smuggling three BURMESE PYTHONS in his pants as he crossed the border from Canada into the United States. I'm still trying to figure this out because this type of python is one of the world's largest snakes and is listed as being 'extremely injurious to human beings' and this Einstein had three dancing by his pee-pee. To quote the guy in the attic commercial, "Nope. No thank you."
*******
SIGN OF THE TIMES: Starting October 1, GOODWILL now offers over 100,000 donated items online and they hope to have that number over one million in a couple of years. I wonder if that will mean the eventual end of the brick & mortar stores?
*******
OK, it's time for lunch. ENJOY THIS WEEKEND WITH FORECAST TEMPS IN THE 70'S Friday thru Monday! I'll take it even if there 5 degrees off. Stay safe and out of the city.
