Yeah, we just said fuck it, not knowing it was needed for insurance. When we put one in and finally got a detective assigned she was like, "Jesus Christ this fucking department."

They told us we couldn't file a report without the serial numbers of everything that was stolen. 🤦‍♀️

So many dangerous intersections where it just seems like the only safe solution is to not have cars there at all

Double parking is storing your car in the middle of the street.

Logical Frank @logicalfrank.com · 1d

This sounds like it should be illegal.

Alulu has been one of my favorites lately. They just always have stuff on the menu I really like. I really want to see their brewery. They must do tiny batches to keep so much on draft in that spot.

Jake & Elwood Blues, The Blues Brothers, are sitting in their car, stuck in traffic, looking annoyed. A speech balloon is coming out of Jake's mouth as though he is saying the text in the quoted post.

Lots of good Chinese food but presume that's not hard to find in NYC. You could still go to Chinatown so they realize we have one.

I'd worry less about them hitting it intentionally than what might happen accidentally when they try.

This great. I do always worry about retaliatory behavior from drivers, unfortunately. You always have to weigh if the percentage of drivers who give you more space with the flag outweighs the ones who will try to clip it out of spite.

My change actually stayed dry this time, not sure why. I have a locker at work that every day when I'm about to leave I realize I forgot to bring a change of clothes to keep in there and resolve that I'll bring it for real next time.

Logical Frank @logicalfrank.com · 1d

I am sitting here in wet corduroy pants. I should switch to all high-performance clothes so I can dry off faster, only solution to this problem.

Logical Frank @logicalfrank.com · 1d

I said I have learned nothing!

Logical Frank @logicalfrank.com · 9d

I just kept looking at weather apps until I found one that said the rain was gonna stop soon and hopped on my bike. Nothing too crazy but enough rain that the dry clothes in my bag got a little damp in spots so not my most comfortable morning. I have learned nothing and will surely do it again soon.

I swear I've taken that section of Halsted since it was supposedly closed... I had initially thought you meant the bridge over the south branch and I was gonna have to find a new way to get to work.

A million acres of indoor space-- unused, air-conditioned, pure as the driven snow.

Parking lots and air-conditioned space.*

Rosemont was simply an excuse to build parking lots.
