Chicago protest afterglow

Downtown Chicago today.

@bugsy159.bsky.social: My guess is that like me in Chicago, you and Tom will be downtown in your city on Saturday. Living among so many creatives in this region, I know the protest signage will be a treat in itself.

@bugsy159.bsky.social: Looking skyward in Milwaukee yesterday. (A great birthday present for Tom.)

Correct

@indivisiblechicago.bsky.social Hi. A caller to Joan Esposito’s show on WCPT AM was very disappointed by the folks leading Hideout meeting last nite. She said they were trashing Dems save for Bernie (who’s independent) and AOC. Others felt the same as her. Can you explain?

@bugsy159.bsky.social: Foto fun with a discarded party hat I found during my Sunday morning bike ride--the day after the city's St. Patrick's Day celebration, and the eve of the actual date of Monday, March 17, 2025.

Some find the experience of viewing Copenhagen's den lille havfrue (Little Mermaid) to be anti-climactic. I appreciated the statue in a symbolic context re the Danish city's many, many spots that enable a summertime dip on both sides of its extensive, car-free waterfront.

The US flag at half mast to honor President Carter is particularly noteworthy at Evanston's Lincoln School. His grandkids were students here in the 1980s, and he would occasionally appear (w/ Secret Service detail) picking them up or dropping them off, and even visiting with students and teachers.
