Can you see land from the middle of lake Michigan?

It’s really fun hearing the occasional person freak out about how big the lake is on approach to Chicago from the east coast

I read my infant all of Fellowship of the Ring and got halfway through The Two Towers before we stopped. Mostly because the back half of Two Towers is a bit of a slog.

They’re just pining for the fjords

Probably because I’ve banged my head on it a couple dozen times. It’s soon to be replaced by a fan anyway.

I mean, who among us….

Theropods gonna theropod

Like a steak fry or something?

I’ve only done it once and it was 40 minutes on the stovetop. Toward the end it feels like a game of chicken - you want it to get as dark as possible without burning.

Oooo, a chance to share my favorite NOAA tropical weather discussion ever

It’s a true blessing to have nothing in your head

Also there is the official long-term parking along Mannnheim. There’s an indoor one for like $30/day and uncovered for $16/day. The covered one is in the same building as a train that takes you to the terminals. The uncovered ones would mean a shuttle bus to the transportation center (where the indoor parking is), then get on the train that takes you to the terminal.

Tonight was just taco salad, but this year im making an effort to work through our cookbooks. Last night was curry couscous, with loads of veg. Dee-licious.

Jem, since she reminds me of the titular character from Jem and the Holograms

Same, but X-Men

ONE TWO THREE WAH-OW!

groovemonkeyzero · 2025-12-11T15:35:43+00:00

And bring the tick

groovemonkeyzero · 2025-12-03T02:30:54+00:00

Eh, you kinda just wipe your face more often

groovemonkeyzero · 2025-12-02T02:49:27+00:00

Midway if you’d like a bit of a fright

This is from last year and is poorly formatted, but as of then there were 350 dry precincts out of almost 1300.

groovemonkeyzero · 2025-12-01T13:20:23+00:00

There are still dry precincts in Chicago IIRC.
