The [Thursday] PapersLast I heard, we had seven cases left in our census zone. We'll probably be done by the time I get this posted. That's not to say the work is over; we're sending enumerators to several states that need help, and there's a zone (or two) in Chicago that we'd like to aid, if only they would have us. But the end is near. Technically, we have until October 31. That's when the entire operation nationwide is scheduled to end. Lots of housekeeping - administrative tasks - to complete before then, too. And then we'll see. As always, I have a ton of projects I'd like to pursue - if only anyone was buying. And supervising two-dozen enumerators under difficult circumstances has only bolstered the confidence I have in my management and leadership skills - and that I should be leading a reporting team and/or newsroom somewhere. It's way past time, but let's just say the industry doesn't hire people like me to do the kind of work I do best. That was proven long ago. Anyway, here are a few things I'd like to bring to your attention. - New (and newish) on the Beachwood . . . White Castle Inducts 3 Chicago Music Titans Into Cravers Hall Of Fame You'll have to click through to see who won such acclaim. Personal note: It probably won't surprise longtime readers to learn that I love White Castle. Can't remember the last time I had some - it's probably been years. Too bad, that. Logan Square could use one. * The LA Dodgers As Easy Hollywood Sitcom Plot Line And I also love Mister Ed, even though he's not a very nice horse. I understand there is a conspiracy theory - a few, in fact - that Ed was really a zebra more amenable to mimicking the mouth motions of talking. My conspiracy theory is that he really could talk. Anyway, here's the piece and you'll see what I'm talking about. * The Pentagon Took PPE Money And Bought Weapons And make no mistake, the problem is people. Most people are truly awful. * How American Criminalizes Immigrants Think you already know how? Think again. The history is (darkly) fascinating - the real history we are rarely taught. * From The World's First Stuffed Animal To American Girl, Our 2021 Toy Industry Hall Of Fame Inductees Made Incredible Mark On Toys & Business Of Play The stories behind these people and their inventions/innovations teach us that so much in life is random - being in the right place at the right time with the right idea and the elements available to carve a path to make it all come true. Bad ideas, too. * Trump Will Not Recognize His Own Re-Election * The Chicago Immigrant Orchestra * Trump Let MBS Get Away With Murdering Jamal Khashoggi * Brushing Scam * Heed The Lessons Of The Wilmette Man Who Translated The Nazis To Death * What FBG Duck's Mother Says * Bust 'Em All: De-Monopolize Tech, Telecoms And Entertainment * Charles "Entertainment" Cheese's Halloween Boo-Tacular * The Unlikely Endurance Of The Rubik's Cube * The Final Confession Of A Chicago Tour Guide - And from the Beachwood Sports Desk . . . Don't Blame Trubisky. Blame Bears' Schulz. * Bears Bust * Black Colleges Join eSports Bandwagon * The End Of An Era That Passed Chicago By * The Beachwood Radio Sports Hour #324: The Core Is Rotten * They Go, He Goes * Tweeting Foles * Easton's Iconic Green Bat Is Back - ChicagoReddit Where do you see Chicago in 100 years? [nonSerious replies only] from r/chicago - ChicagoGram - ChicagoTube "Still Pimpin" / J-Gigolo (Chicago, 1994) - BeachBook Immigrants In COVID America. * An Art Collective Turned Three Americans' Medical Bills Into Paintings and Then Sold Them to Erase $73,000 Worth of Debt. - TweetWood
