One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Hasn’t anyone at @chicagocta or anyone in any of the design firms CTA works with ever waited for a train on a hot day? Waiting at the Wilson stop in summer is like being a bug under a magnifying glass. Why would you repeat this mistake? We get 100+ degree days here!

Well, as far as auroras go, not a sausage. But I did spot the bulk carrier Walter J. McCarthy. So there’s that.

Bluesky appears to think I’m a gay man with wide-ranging tastes and who’s only into females if they’re anime characters. And busty.
And Bluesky has a LOT of content for that dude. My alter ego, Mr. Tracy Seneca. Like a quarter of the content on my feed is for that guy.

63rd and Kostner. I walk here. These are all people that I could easily have seen when I explore the city.

Life really is better if you can get out the door before dawn. Do I act on that? Almost never.
