My running days were over with the first joint replacement. But yes, I understand your point about peers - Now I find myself trying to be more aware as I walk and move about as I've entered the age where any of the doctors ask if I've had a fall in the last 6 months...

"Classroom excellence" ha! His big idea for improving test scores for the Chicago public schools when I worked there was to exclude as many low-performing students as possible from even taking the tests...

Lots of damage around the city - I've seen videos of trees down, things flying off buildings and even multiple windows broken out on some high rises. Tornado sirens must have gone off because I can see on the group chat from our building that people were wondering if they should head out to the hall or down to the basement. (When every Midwesterner knows that's the time to go out or up on the roof and see how bad it really is outside!!)

We are out of town so missing it all.

We are about a 20 minute walk from the current stadium. It gets busy when the Bears are in town so locals learn how to either dodge the crowds or join 'em. The stadium also gets used for concerts and soccer matches (until the new soccer stadium is finished. They just started on that - yup, still in the neighborhood!)
There is a Pokemon Go festival this weekend in the park - summertime is always busy around here!
