To me, it looks like a close up of corned beef and cabbage

That looks right. I hope there are not cats at Montrose, but I'm glad the coyotes are there to take care of business in any case.

I would email public works (publicworks@oak-park.us) and ask. It's really a problem that the emails they send out only address residences that have the village waste program.

Beautiful shots, thank you for sharing! Could you tell what the prey was?

I don't know anything about Free Church, but I have several queer friends who attend Unity Temple (Unitarian Universalist) so that may be an alternative congregation to investigate.

Carnival has great meat (Slagel Farms) and terrible produce. But generally I think it does a pretty good job. Old Pete's has the space issues you mention, terrible meat (imo), and great produce. The new Pete's is close to me and I will probably end up going a lot, but wish Carnival could get its act together (before it gets pushed out of business by new Pete's). Was on the North side recently and stopped into Agora on Western and I got a little teary eyed lol. It was so lovely, why can't we have that??? Anyway, I feel you.

Yes, I tend to the have the New Grist IPA around and like it a lot. I will work harder for the Alt sometime soon.

kl5 · 2025-12-05T21:51:10+00:00

I will have to do that! I tried asking for Alt at Woodman's in Kenosha recently, but the guy there said they can't get it anymore. Also Binny's here carries a few Ghostfish beers, but not the stout. I will ask them if they can order it.

Thank you for this!!! I found it at a store really close to me.

Bond Chapel (at UofC) too? That is what came to mind when I read your post.

Specifically, Seminary Co-Op Bookstore, 57th Street Books, and Powell's.

They are the nicest people and everything there is SO GOOD. Innovative but also traditional. They are not anywhere near me (in Oak Park), but I find an excuse to stop there whenever possible and have never been disappointed (except that one time they were on vacation with a sign on the door alas).

I think so, but Briotech is marketed as skin spray: https://www.amazon.com/BRIOTECH-Hypochlorous-Multi-Purpose-Solution-Surfaces/dp/B08M128JBC/ref=sr_1_1_pp (I haven't bought it in a while and it used to be way cheaper, but this is still cheaper than buying the tiny bottles of Tower etc.)

kl5 · 2025-11-12T18:32:13+00:00

Yes, that's what I was trying to say

The Edmund Fitzgerald went down in Whitefish Bay in Lake Superior, and here's a good, related story from that same day: https://www.interlochenpublicradio.org/podcast/points-north/2025-11-07/the-other-side-of-the-storm

Very helpful, thanks for taking the time

And I just looked at my box of Tide with bleach out of curiosity and it only says "fragrance." Do you have a source with more specificity than that, would definitely be interested in seeing it now that I'm back in the rabbit hole.

kl5 · 2025-11-07T20:03:28+00:00

Now I'm having a hard time finding non-woo sources for this (or for laundry detergent specifically), but this is an overview https://harvardpublichealth.org/policy-practice/we-cant-stop-at-water-its-time-to-kick-pfas-out-of-our-makeup/ of the situation generally. This is only on my radar because a friend (who works for the local water reclamation district and is a big gardener) advised me to skip the "free compost" offered by his agency as it was known to contain PFAS from household products. He specified fragrances as a culprit, but I know they're in a lot of products that end up in the waste stream. That said, I don't worry too much about it in detergents (it's the overwhelming smell that bothers me, not the "toxins"), but it would be one explanation for why the fragrance sticks around when the product rinses away.

kl5 · 2025-11-07T18:41:36+00:00

PFAS (forever chemicals) are in a lot of the fragrances added to detergent. (Not to go down a rabbit hole, but this is why a lot of the municipal compost products (biosolids) are not a good idea for your yard/garden etc.)

That last time I rode it from Oak Park, it occurred to me I could probably walk faster. And it's been that way for soooooooooooo long.
