Taxis, iPods & Bergoff's - Friday, February 23, 2007

3:11 p.m.

Someone should mention that the steel of taxis and flesh of people do not mix. The commuter figured it out. The taxi driver drove on, but not until after having his hood pounded by a very angry woman.

They were both guilty. One was an iPoder, blind to the moment. The other was chasing time, barrelling too fast for Adams Street.

Speaking of Adams. I miss Bergoff's. 107 years of good food. I just heard they have reopened in some way. Trader Vic's is gone too.

Chicago’s Bid For 2016 Olympics Heats Up in US Home Stretch
That's big news. Big, big news. If Daley and company pulls it off, I think we'll see him as mayor for life. We'll also see some city pride that does not involve a baseball team. I can imagine the Olympic Marathon running on Michigan, Wacker and Ohio. Would they take it around all the town, including the Projects? the NYC Marathon does that, through all boroughs.

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.
