January 6th, 2022


 When I walked into my Office building this morning the security guard asked me if it was cold enough for me.

….and I just
Replied, “What are ya gonna do?….it’s January in Chicagoland!”
When I got into the elevator I thought to myself….. for over 30 years I took either the CTA train or the Metra. I stood on train platforms that I walked to in the icy dark mornings.
At this point in my life I’m in paradise. I walk to my Chevy Blazer…. It starts, it warms up, it doesn’t smell like ass, I don’t need to wear a mask or earphones.
I arrive in a parking garage attached to my building. I don’t have to walk across the Chicago River or across the Loop.
The work commute makes winter more enjoyable…. As long as my baby starts up and the roads are clear…. Let’s Roll!
The warmth of Summer is 140 days away. We celebrate America in 180 days. The sweetness of summer or the sweatness of summer will return…. So enjoy this brisk January morning!
Today is January 6th. It
Is not December 7th or September 11th. Don’t let the media give this day historical value. WE as Americans…. Republican or democrat must learn from the destruction from this day in 2021.
Today is not a statue that can be torn down. Today isn’t a page we can rip out of a history book.
Today is just January 6th and in 2021 our Capitol was attacked. If you want to remember January 6th as “Us against Them” then you better remember what happened on August 24th, 1814…..
Stay Warm! Stay Positive! Stand together! Eat Pizza!
