Congrats to @EvanstonDevelo1 (Dick Co & Robbie Markus) without whose initial vision & hard work this would not have happened. Also to Sarah Flax for early support.
"few pockets of heavier rain possible"?
Call that definite in #EvanstonIL
Blessed rain today.
Suggestion for environmental research project in winning the "synthetic sex identity" wars:

Nice story & interview of firefighters in local media by Richard Cahan evanstonroundtable.com/2022/…
Long but very readable thread about Illinois bail reform.
Based on misinformation, one "Democratic" Senator is trying to gut IL's reform.
@SenatorFine I hope you're not buying this propaganda.
