Love seeing this!

Ran the 20th Anniversary LaSalle Banks Chicago Marathon on October 19, 1997.

Really enjoyed my 1st visit to Chicago 28 years ago.

Panels, battery and home inverter now fully installed, we are basically off-grid!
Fully electrified house, electric car so we don't have to pay for power or fuel. Thanks #renewables!
Really fun checking the app to watch the power generation during the day!

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."
