This was not difficult to predict. There is a malignancy in our national culture that we pretend is not there and will just go away if we cross our fingers and wish hard enuff. My drawings from 3, 12, & 18 years ago.

Rider got on shortly after I boarded the #22 by Zoo en route to Evanston. A long ride & she rode a good portion. Bumps jerked my line, slowed me down, made haste during stops. Shirt, peacock blue, may add it, but this is what I got when I wuz stalking the game. Hmm, not sure that came out right.
