So here we are, the Friday before Labor Day and the city crowds are crazed to get home and get on with vacation. Vacation as work, impatient drivers, pushy commuters, loud cell phone conversations on the El and the unendurably chirpy voice of a proselytizing Christer. Nothing against those who believe, but the ostentatious display of faith in public places is not WJWD. Eh.

Diversity in the mix too, on the next train young black man was conducting a rap volume cell phone conversion abt bitches and weed, while the woman sitting directly across the aisle wielded a crossword puzzle like a weapon. Way more concentration than I possess.

Could it be that the electronic volume of public spaces is the new normal and this discontent reflexive of my own aging standards? Nah. Screw it, any animal that has to make noise all the time gets eaten eventually, not to mention something that used to be referred to as the social contract, pardon me asswipe!!

Ah yes, but I do love Chicago. Tho not as much as driftless Wisconsin, nor ever as much as the dunes and marshlands of the Cape. See illustration stage left. Time for dinner ya'll.
