It’s been rather dry here in Chicago. We’ve had some light sprinkles but no real rain. As a homeowner (lah dee dah Mr. Fancy Pants), I can’t help but look at my yard and fear what my next water bill will look like. We’re spoiled here because we’re situated right on one of the OK lakes. Presently, however, folks from Texas, Arizona, and California are telling me to suck it up to which I say “cram it with walnuts, ugly.”

Former President gets indicted…again. Former President Donald Trump was indicted yesterday on charges tied to the classified document deal. Can’t say I’m exactly shocked, but it certainly does seem like he has a big red target on his back. Frankly, I don’t care what happens to him except for the fact that it would be perfectly hilarious for the final season of America to end with an in-prison President Donald Trump serving out his second term.

Writers still on strike. We’re well over a month into the writers strike. It’s a bit ironic since it seems like Hollywood wants to regurgitate the same garbage over and over again. Frankly, AI could have been writing those terrible scripts all along. But at least the writers have a strong ally in George RR Martin. He’s been teaching the world how to not actually write for the past decade. (FINISH THE DAMN BOOKS, GEORGE)

Bear sighting in Gurnee! No, I’m not talking about the Chicago Bears whoring themselves out to any suburb willing to give them tax subsidies. There was an actual real live black bear spotted in Gurnee. Locals believed the bear was attempting to get into Great Wolf Lodge but was turned away by the high prices. Instead he took his hard earned money to Great America where he rode the Cajun Cliffhanger on repeat.

Not Dead Yet. This weekend, Dead & Co. and their patchouli covered fans will descend upon Wrigley Field as part of their final tour. TBH, It’s kind of amazing that they’d made it this long. Thankfully, the scent of hippie will cover up the smells of trough urinals…at least for the next week.

Shut down the big screen. There’s nothing worth while to see this week. The 20th installation of Transformers staring Pete Davidson is enough to want to never watch another movie again. Go outside and enjoy the sunshine.
