Took my first ride on the Dickens Greenway to get home from an errand in Lincoln Park. So nice to have a safe(ish) bike route (almost) all the way to the lake.

We got a new vacuum that came with something called the "Fluffy Optic™ cleaner head". It’s actually a pretty clever idea: cast a bright light at just the right angle so that the tiniest particles of dust cast massive shadows. The only trade-off is that using it once curses you with the knowledge that even things that look clean are caked in a thick layer of unescapable filth.

You should seriously need to be cleared by a therapist or sign some kind of waiver before you’re allowed to purchase this thing. It’s pure cognitohazard.

Rounded out the weekend with trips to the farmers market and bringing home entirely too many grillables from Publican Quality Meats.

A very brave dog is all caught up on her shots for the year. Her people should follow in her brave example now that this year’s COVID & flu shots are out.
