Sore shoulder on the Covid arm for about 2 days and some mild chills briefly about 12 hours later. Overall not so bad.

When the full moon comes out — and the weather is nice — a group of cyclists in Champaign-Urbana get excited. They gather at sunset for a bike ride through the prairie, with a break for ice cream at the Sidney Dairy Barn.

Excited to announce the construction of Cronus’ new production facility in Tuscola — an anchor of the Illinois agricultural industry of tomorrow.

With this $2B investment, we’re bringing in jobs, meeting rising demand for fertilizer, and keeping costs low for our farmers.

Interesting Carol Friesen from OSF speaks about how they spend their “scarce resources” in #Chambana. Apparently that involves contracting with a national company for physician coverage instead of working with the psychiatrists locally.

Congratulations, sir! Appearing on South Park is an honor, indeed. Not only have you "finally made it", you had the best line of dialogue in the show.

Good luck with your love of furniture and your continuing EPSTEIN Cover-Up,
