Salty Days and Salty Mayors

-
Mondays begin much like Tuesday through Friday, only earlier. Not such a big deal for me. I've been getting up with the robins for years. The new kids coming to work seem to struggle with it.

Salt was everywhere today, and the snow kept coming. The plastic on my papers made the day slow. People see plastic and think buying a paper will take longer. It won't, but that's what people think.

I commented on a journalism blog: Strange Attractor. Naturally, I am concerned as the newspaper business evolves. See Rethinking video, rethinking journalism, rethinking priorites.

The News
Daley's in the news. While his dad's legacy will likely be stronger, just as his infamy will, it looks like the current mayor is on track to last longer: Daley May Eclipse Dad as Chicago's Biggest Boss With Sixth Term. Mayor Daley (pick 'em) has been good for the city of Chicago.

Thanks for the comment over on my blog, Strange Attractor. I live in London now, but I grew up 90 miles west of Chicago. I miss the place, winters and all. Nice to read what's going on near home.

It indeed is a small world.

Bookbinding and Bitter Cold

-
Today is only colder than yesterday, but the coffee seems warmer. The salary girls and smokers are less apt to wander outside. Better for me, as I get tired of the stink of cheap perfume and second-hand smoke. At least the salary girls are fun to look at, unlike the smokers. Thinking of the days when newspapers did not include computers, I came across this fellow's site . That's his blog selling old bookbinding equipment. Intrigued, I see that he's got this whole old world style of bookbinding going on, with some very impressive samples, Weird seeing it on the internet. It is like seeing an Amish or hermitage website.

Chicago's Gangs Ruining Chicago: Flush Them Down the Toilet

I spent a lot of time on the L, and walking far from the Loop. That's where the roaches live. Incestuous slime, the Black Gangster Disciples, the Vice Lords, the Latin Kings. Then the Crips, the Jamaicans, and other fecal matter. Scum. The thug mentality has reached into the crotches of many young men's minds. A combination of insecurity, poverty-mindset and broken families have confused them what it means to be a man.

Presidential Alert - Now That's Funny

-
It seems the newspaper era is dying faster than an honest politician's election campaign. Then, there is Donald Trump's Presidential Alert. It isn't really his. It just looks that way. So, some guy owns the domain.  https://presidentialalert.com/ I hope he makes billions.
