Things That Really Burn My Butt.
1. LIGHTHOUSE-- The Chicago Harbor Lighthouse is to be transferred from the Coast Guard to the city. It was built in 1893, just in time for the Columbian Exposition. No doubt, Da Mayor will find a way to tax it, lease it, or sell the naming rights. How about the Light of Blago?
2. REAL LIFE "CHEERS"-- Boston's real life "Cheers" bartender, Eddie Doyle,66, of the Bull & Finch has become one of the latest victims of the economy's downturn thanks to all those wonderful GRBs. He worked there for 35 years. After the show's success in 1982, as many as 5,000 customers would visit a day. What would Norm and Cliff say?
3. TCF-CEO-- The TCF bank has returned the $361 million it received in bail out from the government saying it didn't really need it and don't want the additional rules and regulations that accompany it.
Their CEO, Bill Cooper said, "We never engaged in any shady things" referring to other banks. They never did any sub-prime lending either. He said he doesn't take a salary or bonuses.
Could this be a CEO we can respect?

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
