VOTE EARLY AND OFTEN

Chicago has long had the well-earned reputation for voter fraud. It's the kind of thing that happens when Democrats rule a city for generations. Nevertheless, (legitimate) early voting began on Monday and on Tuesday morning, I took advantage of the opportunity. Before I arrived at the polling station, I managed to squeeze in a 7 mile urban hike.

DON'T BE A CHUMP, VOTE TRUMP!

In Chicago, we have electronic voting machines. This is an actual photo of my selection for President and Vice President of the United States. During the primaries, Donald J Trump was about my 15th choice for the nomination. On the day that he became the presumptive nominee, he turned into my first choice.

Part of my 7 mile urban hike had me walking along paved trail on the Lake Michigan shoreline.

Meanwhile in Cleveland, Ohio where Game 1 of the World Series was being played... the Chicago Cubs lost 6-0 to the Indians. There is much baseball left to play, so no reason for Chicagoans to panic just yet...
.

Out of a sense of curiosity, I have been monitoring Stub Hub to view ticket prices for Game 3 of the World Series (first game at Wrigley Field) and when I first checked two days ago, the least expensive prices asked for Standing Room Only were $2200. Those asking prices might have been a bit optimistic... As of Wednesday morning, the prices have 'crashed' down to the $1700 dollar range.
