I will give the Chicago mayor some credit. During the high points of the "protests" one Saturday night, she ordered all the bridges opened in the downtown area. No way in, no way out. That helped save the downtown area from massive damage. 

The other parts of the City (mostly South and West), not so much. Absolute destruction is one way to put it. And now she is begging Walmart, Target, CVS, etc. to rebuild.

Speaking of Chicago...


At least 106 people were shot in Chicago, 13 of them fatally, from midafternoon Friday through early Monday, according to city officials and Tribune data.


It is the most people shot in one weekend since at least 2012 but not the deadliest this year, after more than 20 were killed over the last weekend in May, according to data compiled by the Tribune. Twelve of those shot this weekend were younger than 18 years old. Five of those children died.

I won't be moving to a "blue" city anytime soon, probably never

talk about a petty political stunt my the Seattle mayor

I'd have her removed from her position

especially now, since there are reports that people have been seriously injured

The city of Columbus has removed two of its three Christopher Columbus statues; the one at city hall, and the one on the campus of Columbus State CC. There are calls to also remove the third one at Easton shopping centre. 

Columbus also has a statue of a Confederate soldier in a Civil War POW cemetery. Mobs have already torn it down once in the past, but it was promptly repaired and replaced at the time.

I saw there was a petition to rename Columbus. Dood wants to call it Flavortown, since Guy Fieri was born there.

They should do it. Personally I think the name Shithole suites it better.

so, mrs rtf had a wreck at end of week last week. she's fine, as is everyone else involved, thanks for askin'. car is likely totaled, most airbags deployed and whatnot. i'm no adjuster, but that's my guess.

dealing with rental company has been worst part of it. the local office people seem nice enough, but apparently the company uses a national call center to update clients on pick-up info and stuff, and those people are either ill-informed or incompetent... or both. was told on friday by local people that they don't have a vehicle like we need (need a 7 passenger minimum, long story short we got lots of kids, both our own and fostering). said call back monday and they'll update us. got a call from them saturday (national center, didn't know this at the time) that there was a vehicle available, will be ready monday at 830 am. i figured someone turned one in either late friday or saturday. arrange to pick it up this morning, which involves me being dropped off there at 8, before they open, so the person dropping me off can get to work on time. and turns out, the vehicle mythical. so i spent the better part of my morning waiting for a chasing down a phantom car.

Hmm... I had to deal with this a couple months back when someone rear-ended me. It was the other guy's insurance paying for it, and it was Hertz. All told they made everything really easy. I likewise needed a 7-passenger vehicle and they didn't have any trouble finding one... 

Might be due to location, though...

Wait, California doesn't have to claim Fieri? 

Y'all can have him, Ohio. We never wanted him.

this is also hertz, and i'm sure it's all about location. they have a few here, they're just all loaned out right now. the locals knew the situation, but the national call center apparently didn't. they have one coming in tomorrow and it's already reserved for us, so it's not a huge problem. just wish i hadn't wasted a couple hours figuring that out.

Hey, I don't drive a minivan. I drive a Ford Flex. As I've said before, it's the ultimate dad-mobile. It's the khaki cargo shorts & white New Balance sneakers of the vehicle world.

me and mrs said we'd never have one. our family was stretching it, but since we started fostering we've really needed one. finally caved and got one back in january. should have gotten one so much sooner. they get shat on a ton, but they are really amazing cars. makes life so much easier.
