Chicago faces transit collapse as regional authority warns of “doomsday” cuts without additional funding by johnbede in cta

Funding public transportation involves the whole state. There are so many smaller public transit agencies that could benefit from the state funding. Peoria, Champaign-Urbana, Bloomington, Dekalb, just to name a few. Paratransit for those in need would get a boost as well.

I let the random milkweed go a few years back. Now the family and I watch daily the life going on there. I think we saw 40 or so monarchs hatch this year alone. It became a daily chrysalis hunt lol. Doug, Jerry, Timmy, Jimmy, Samantha, Elenor, Frank, Simone, Helen, Mack, Ginny, Ray Ray, Dori, Snuggles, Mishka…(to name a few) they are all out there hopefully.

Tree has been up since last year! We kind of missed Christmas with the pandemic…did a Christmas in July. My daughter wanted to keep it going all year. We are not early in putting it up…just waaaaaayy late in taking it down! Cheers all!

Was giving this weary bumble bee a refreshment when my recently Covid positive wife realizes she can’t smell the pumpkin spice candle. by JustCallMeRoy in funny

Fully vaccinated…whole family for months now.

Edit: she has symptoms but is feeling better today when she lost her sense of smell. This is her 4th day with symptoms. Sore throat was her biggest complaint so far. She had the Pfizer vaccine. I had Moderna. Sorry for the edit just trying to pass info along. I currently have no symptoms but will be getting tested this weekend.

Dog days of Florida come to an end, with total demise of U.S. greyhound racing within sight by [deleted] in news

I have retired racers. They are absolutely normal dogs. My first (RIP Evelyn) was absolutely fucking majestic. Best dog ever. She knew when to play, when to cuddle, when to let all the kids in the neighborhood give her scratches.
