A matter of color

What is the difference between the shootings in Buffalo and Chicago? It was a white person in Buffalo. Thats what makes it a national headline. In Chicago, if a Black person does the mass killings, it does not make national headlines. Joe Biden, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson do not show up in Chicago to make a speech and demonstrate with marchers. It has to involve a white person to get the big wheels attention.

Heed the signs

Driving in Waukegan these days reminds me of driving in Vietnam in 1969-70.They also didnt believe in stop signs. Waukegan doesnt need stoplight cameras, but instead stop-sign cameras.

Political trash and lies

With all the political flyers in the mail, I hope everybody will recycle them. This might overload the paper mills, but they will be able to make some cheap toilet paper from the political trash and lies.

Wonderful place

Twice-weekly

News updates from Lake County delivered every Monday and Wednesday

Just want to post something positive for a change. Green Town On The Rocks, which is down by the Waukegan harbor, is a wonderful outdoor gathering place for those who want to listen to good music on a beautiful day or night. Check it out sometime.

Do what you want

If you want to break the law, come to North Chicago. You can drive go-carts down the streets, drive with loud music and loud, aftermarket mufflers and anything else that your heart desires.

Not soon enough

Great news baby formula should be available in mid-July. How do we explain this to starving babies who cant eat baby food yet?
