Third Monday in September

Today might be the last hot day of the year in Chicago. (I hope so, anyway.) While watching the cold front come through out my office window, with the much-needed rain ahead of it, I have lined up some news stories to read later today:

• My alderman got attacked on Saturday a couple blocks from my house by a well-known local vagrant.
• Josh Marshall believes US Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) has no plans to run for re-election.
• In related news, CNN explains what happens to all the rats when a hurricane squishes through New York.
• Once again, Netflix and the other streaming services won most of last night's Emmys.

And finally, Metallica has an unexpected show tonight at Metro Chicago, about two kilometers from my house. Tickets are $20. I hope people show up for my board meeting tonight.
