Saw a MMA canvasser at Ogilvie tonight and stopped to thank her for volunteering. We talked about how much we love transit and hate driving. Even though we may disagree on specifics I have enormous gratitude and respect for every single person fighting for transit.

Yup. You can see the horror in my my 6 (at the time) year old’s eyes. Nevermind that plus all the data that shows what commuters actually want is more frequent and reliable service (which makes every trip safer and increases ridership which …makes every ride safer) and the funding to support it.

If you’ve never been and live nearish I highly recommend the State Park (I usually put Devils Slide in my GPS, it’s the big dune this pic was taken from). They just opened a seasonal restaurant w a rooftop bar in this pavilion a few years ago and it is just kind of perfect in the summer.

One of the things that always strikes me is the sound. The lake is so much louder than in the city.

These days or - today - it’s the LinkedIn post of curators of public art posting about his entire team being fired that got to me. Thinking of that art being totally unprotected. I realize there are a 1000 other much more dire things happening- but today, this is what got to me.

I told my space-obsessed 7 year old this news and she immediately wrote a note for her Dad - who is working - so he’d know when he got home.
