I love this blogger's occasional posts about long walks in Chicago. The latest is his ten-mile hike along 79th Street, through the heart of the South Side.
As one of the walkers says, the day ends up being a tribute to mom-and-pop stores.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

Say howdy to George Carter, and thank him for taking the pistol from you when you were shooting at me.
Who knew there were Buffistas back in Civil War times?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
And I like salads fine, but to me a meal needs more fat and/or protein than I had in my lunch-from-home.
That's the main thing for me too--I just realized I haven't actually had any protein to speak of today, because I forgot my Luna bar, so breakfast was a pluot.

Our wings are not tired.
Not only is it a great letter, but for once the comments on the article are decent, educated, and helpful. Lots of good info there!

TOM SCOLA!
y'all Tom made me cry.......but in a good way.
Which is to say, thank you for the NYC Transit Poster.
He even got an image of one of the trains I took home sometimes.
and mac will thank you for the comic books also, but not until he knows about them, which will not be today.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Scola rocks!

Aww. We love the Scola. HUGS!
...I am listening to the new music I downloaded last night, but I think I need something more upbeat than "Jar of Hearts" to make me motivated to do work. Hrmph.

This may be the most bat-shit crazy defense of Prop 8 I've come across. And that's a pretty fucking high bar these days. [link]
