There's a Thai place across the street and down a block. Sometimes I stop in and ask for noodles to go. The owner says "You're gonna give it another shot, eh? Why not just sit down here and eat?". 

I just nod and make my way out.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly 1.1 million coronavirus relief payments totaling some $1.4 billion went to dead people, a government watchdog reported Thursday.

More than 130 million so-called economic impact payments were sent to taxpayers as part of the $2.4 trillion coronavirus relief package enacted in March. The Government Accountability Office, Congress’ auditing arm, cited the number of erroneous payments to deceased taxpayers in its report on the government programs.

While the government has asked survivors to return the money, it’s not clear they have to.

The errors occurred mainly because of a lag in reporting data on who is deceased — a lapse that tax experts say is almost inevitable.

I have a couple of questions about it...

• Why the world would you use a slipknot as a garage pull? The idea of a slip knot is that it tightens under load, meaning each time you pull the garage door down you'd theoretically be tightening the knot on your hand. I recognize that perhaps there isn't enough load to cause it to tighten, but it seems like the wrong knot for the job.
• Whoever tied it, why would they choose a slip knot? Is it the only knot they know? If so, where exactly did they learn it?

It is probably a loop knot, which looks like a noose, but it doesn't "slip." 

That rope looks awfully new for one that has been hanging in an outdoor garage for at least a year. 

ESPN today was saying that it wasn't there at the start of the race weekend last October, but was there at the end of the race weekend. So it's only 6 months.

If the garage has been mostly closed? Maybe it could still look pretty new.

Could be. 

Luckily they released the photo promptly, eliminating any possibility of foul play. 

This man is a GD living legend.

12 years old. 1:15 AM. What could go wrong?


A 12-year-old girl playing with friends outside suffered a graze wound in a shooting early Thursday in the West Englewood neighborhood, police said.


The girl was on the sidewalk in the 6800 block of South Wolcott Avenue about 1:15 a.m. when someone in a white SUV drove past and someone in the vehicle fired shots, according to a police media notification. The girl felt pain when she suffered a graze wound to the lower back and was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital, where she was in good condition.
