Not much to write

I'm actually not in Chicago. I'm about 20 miles from the city in Homewood. So there's not much to do or see. As a matter of fact you may not want to go out after dark. Hell, you may not want to go out during the day. I'm pretty busy working anyway. I'll be flying home Saturday night and then flying back to Chicago on Tuesday to drive to a job in Plano IL.

I may have broke my toe. Okay, maybe not. I guess I can wiggle it. But it does hurt.

I do have to say Chicago is an odd area. First of all they don't issue any gun permits in the city except to Police Officers. So they have a lot of crime here. Only the cops and the bad guys have guns. So what's to stop a bad guy from drawing on you? Nothing. They ain't scared of no good guy. They know they got ya. One school here has had twenty students shot and killed during this school year alone. Not at school but elsewhere during the year. Twenty...in one school.

Cellular phone use in your vehicle is illegal in Chicago. And now they're trying to pass a law that you can't walk in town and talk on your phone or listen to music. They say you don't pay enough attention to traffic and might walk out in front of a vehicle. Guess they're trying to save you.

And then there's the co-workers in Chicago that took a soccer ball out to the park near work and kicked it around to blow off some steam. Well an officer showed up and issued them all tickets because evidently it's illegal in a Chicago city park to do anything that would distress the scrubs or grass.

Gosh I love my little gun toting, cell phone talking, grass smashing town.
