Good morning everyone.

I think UPS might be having some system issues. Check out the delivered on dates: View attachment 185445

So bold they think they will be around in those centuries from now.

I didn't answer the door when those were dropped off. My time machine was eaten by racoons.

Many years ago I drove from Portage to Oakbrook for work. Frigging hated it.

Yea, you couldn't pay me enough to do it every day. Fortunately it's only a twice a year job for us.

Cool, twice a year is not bad at all.

Someone had a bad day as there was car parts all over the highway around the Ford plant exit. Traffic was down to 1 lane. Wheels, a bumper, and maybe even a door or hood? Could not make it out.

This explains the overhead sign just south of there. It still said "debris in road, 2 left lanes blocked" this morning. Guess the sign changer is taking a looooooong lunch.

Was that on I-88 eastbound? There was a sign like that yesterday when I got on 88 in Naperville headed to Oakbrook.

Been texting back and forth with Dasha's mom in Ukraine.

Dasha's 78 year old grandmother, and Dasha's older sister escaped through Slovakia 2 days ago.

Earlier today her 78 year old grandfather, 13 year old sister and 12 year old cousin escaped through Romania.

They are trying to meet up with each other in Bulgaria, possibly tomorrow or Saturday.

Still in Ukraine, at the family's small hotel in the western part of the country just north of Romania, remain Dasha's mom and her aunt. The hotel is open for refugees to stay, some are hoping to stay long term to wait out the war??? Or they have no homes to go back to? If her mom & aunt leave they fear that the hotel will be looted or destroyed so they are keeping it open, for now, hoping to remain safe. While we were texting the air raid sirens sounded and they had to move into the basement parking area for about 20 minutes.

We are working to try to get student study visas for the younger kids to get them into either the USA or the UK. Getting the visa is the hard part. We have to figure all that out while they are moving around.

Some good news then, at least. I have to believe .gov is going to set up expedited arrangements for Ukraine refugees very soon. I thought I saw something about it, but am now drawing a blank. Continued good luck with it Bob. It is Bob, right?

My memory for names sucks ...

There is an aircraft carrier nuke officer on wheel of fortune right now.

He says it is really easy, they run themselves.

Have you ever met an officer that DIDN'T think things ran on their own?

Though, in a way, when everything is working right, it does.
Unlike some Russian designs that require constant adjustments, OURS are actually self-leveling.

Watching Ukrainians, I think I just realized where all the bakelite magazines are hiding.

Back in the day I used to drive to Palatine from Hobart for work for nine long months. And spend all day driving a truck delivering freight all along the Fox river area.

The man missing from St. John is apparently home and safe

Friday morning and ready for the warm weekend to begin.

 

[Snapdragon]

I've got a big "to do" list for tomorrow. Probably a bit optimistic, but we'll see. Mostly repotting of plants. I should probably swing over to True Value today and pick up a bag of dirt.

I do not miss Merrillville to Lombard trip 5 days a week that I did, nor the CP to Glenview. F that mess.

I do not see the Lake County Guns Show on the list. Don't let your weekend end like the ceiling fan fiasco.
