Frazzled morning
AviationBaseballChicagoCrimeDemocratic PartyEconomicsElection 2024EntertainmentGeneralGeographyJapanPersonalPoliticsRailroadsRepublican PartyRestaurantsSummerTransport policyTravelTrumpUrban planningWeatherWorkI started my day with overlapping meetings, a visit from the housekeeping service, more meetings, a visit from an electrician, and just now discovered that a "new" bug report actually relates a bug we introduced on June 20th last year, but only now got reported. Oh, also: it's 25°C and sunny.
At least it's Friday.
And I guess I can read some of these tomorrow morning:
- Tara Palmeri examines the Beltway reactions to the convicted-felon XPOTUS's 34-count felony conviction. (But Josh Marshall says of this post: "Her dispatch on Trump’s conviction is just drenched in the contempt in which she holds all Democrats.")
- Metra had a public meeting to discuss their Systemwide Network Plan, which outlines a shift from a commuter model to a regional transportation model.
- Related to that, a group of Chicago alders want the state to change direction on the planned Lake Shore Drive redesign to focus on buses rather than cars.
- Japan will soon introduce new Yen notes that may break millions of vending machines across the country.
- SOM's lead architect explains the O'Hare Terminal 2 redesign.
- Michelle Singletary answers your questions about whether tipping has gone too far.
Finally, the Chicago White Sox set a new team record yesterday: 14 losses in a row. They play the Red Sox tonight at home; can they make it 15 straight losses?
