@Cherteapet No worries.

@Cherteapet I have no paywalls. Some of the articles might.

@Dr_BoAbrahamsen Mother Nature always has the upper hand. We just refuse to see it before she swats us upside the head with it.

@DebR @TCatInReality @talia_christine Exactly. It's who we've always been.

Good morning. Fall is full of irony in Chicago, decking it out in the colors of the Green Bay Packers. (The Bears play the Packers in a game today.) #Fall #Today #Chicago #Photography #ChicagoBears #Football #Sports

That's go over well with the markets, I'm sure.

Good news.
