Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So after embarrassing themselves by nominating and electing a sleazebag in the lt. governor primary, the proposal now on the table is to just scrap the whole Lt. Gov position entirely. Oh Illinois, never change.

That's awesome. "If this guy didn't work out, how will we ever find anyone else??"

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I think NYC went through a thing in the last year or so about completely eliminating an elected position also. Public Advocate maybe?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Wait - you mean that wasn't intentional? Has Illinois politics changed so much?

I think that's right. It's kind of the same position -- a [city/state]wide #2 without actual power.

I was all happy having bacon for breakfast, and then I ate soap! Grr.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Why did you eat soap, Jesse?

By accident! It was not in the plan! It must have gotten stuck under my nail.

ita, I hope you slept.

I've lost all concept of calendar time. I mean, really.

Dressed (not showered) and fortifying myself with instant oatmeal. Gonna have to go out shortly and start digging towards the street. People are already out, shoveling off their roofs. So BRIAN has a ladder to reach his roof. Good to know.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No. no sleep. Grr.

Oh no, ita. You don't need that.
