Air & Water Show Canceled
Dateline Chicago:
- Citing concerns about the August temperatures, city officials today canceled the Chicago Air & Water show and rescheduled the popular event for February.
The two-day extravaganza typically draws upwards of one million people per day if the weather cooperates. City officials claim the mid-winter show shouldn't affect attendance by any significant margins.
"The water portion of the show will encompass the US Coast Guard and Chicago Police Marine Unit demonstrating cold weather rescue techniques. The icebergs along the shore will just add to the excitement and drama of the demonstrations."
The US Navy Blue Angels and USAF Thunderbirds could not confirm their appearances by press time seeing as how they usually have shows scheduled in the warmer climates during the winter months, but that won't stop the show from going on. The Chicago Police Helicopter Unit has agreed to do a fly over at 1:00 PM and Cletus Granville of Robbins has a radio controlled bi-plane he's been itching to try out.
Sounds like a good time this February. Stay tuned for more.

U R so silly SCC.
So.....now you're the Onion? Funny stuff.
Ha! Please cancel Bud-kill-again parade.
My 'hood has a pretty strong Latin Kings element (and a rival gang, judging by the tag wars) but it's not bad on the streets, really. I am out every night walking the dog; I say ola, they say ola and all is quiet. I think the Hispanic gangs are hewing to the old Mafia principle of keeping a low profile and not hassling the civilians.
6/01/2011 08:31:00 PM
So now we have moved on to the second faze in surrender. The gangbangers that own the street don't bother me, so it's not too bad.
This poster must not have a kid that may catch a stray bullet when "Tico" decides "Flaco" needs 15 or 16 shots thrown at him from a cowardly block away. After all, "Flaco" did disrespect his nation by having his hat askew incorrectly.
Surrender is not the answer. Anger and action are. We are not in the woods. We do not lay down and hope the bear doesn't eat us.
is the casino canceled too? me wants to knows or thugs allowed there
So the Bud Billagain parade will continue but the South Side Irish Parade was cancelled because of criminal activity. You gotta love the double standard.
let them come to Halsted St in 023 Dist it is a party that is offdahook every wekkend with westsiders hooligans just what the alderman and commander want. It will put the airandwater show to shame.
If only it could be true.
there is no manpowers on the northside period Can you cancel that too????? WTF
bud bilikin CANCELED
The city currently under the rule of Rahmulous should cancel all summer activities at the lakefront and require all his supporters to bathe in it.
All kidding aside, carry off duty with a minimum of .40 caliber for good stopping power.
Glock makes nice subcompacts in 9mm, .40cal or (my favorite) .45ACP.
A .38 five shot or 9mm (the same load essentially) isn't going to make it these days.
Blues Fest moved to Greenland.
Remember that when Emmanuel was elected he stated that the idea that Chicago was unsafe was " a matter of perception ".
Robbed, beaten, bullet in back of head? Man, your perception is way off.
Gary is learning Chicago Lesson #1. Never ever, ever, ever refer to the "Elephant in the room"
If you do, you will immediately be branded as a racist.
Just pretend the beast doesn't exist and Rahm, like the rat daley before him, will be happy.
This is all sounding like our jobs a big joke!
I'm gonna stick my cold frigid foot up your cold frigid @$$ now move along ,nothing to see here,show is cancelled!
Don't forget the first annual Chicago Police Canine Sled Dog races from Grant Park to Lawrence along Lake Shore Drive.
Next cancel the bud parade!!!
City officials claim the mid-winter show shouldn't affect attendance by any significant margins.
.........
ummmm. isn't Feb the month that 22 inches of snow fell turning LSD into a parking lot.
Isn't Feb the month that temps can be below freezing.
And they claim the mid-winter show shouldn't affect attendance by any significant margins.
Right...
This is an example of high school sarcasm that only diminishes the credibility of the blog.
all kidding aside, i actually like the idea of moving all summer events to the dead of winter.
Chicago Air n' Ice Show Information
Shell Oil will defer it's sponsorship this year to Prestone, a subsidiary.
The snowmobile portion will start at 1000 hrs. in Lake Michigan between Oak St and North Ave. prior to the air show starting at noon as in the past.
The US Air Frost Winter Exhibition Team, "The TundraBirds" will be the headliners this February.
(The US Navy Blue Arctics have a prior commitment in Anchorage)
The Army Frozen Knights Parachute Team will initiate their free-fall from an altitude of 13,500 feet. Each of the five member team will forgo the traditional shout out of the famous Apache Indian name upon leaving C-130 Hercules,
substituting instead with... "Below Zerooooo!"
The lost/frozen children and Command Post igloo will be located in the turn around at North/LSD.
Despite the teen wildings in hoodies along North Ave Beach, ripping off the suburbanites of their Coleman hand warmers the show will be cut short with the CFD citing "cold" as the factor.
Puerto rican fest cancelled and so is Mexican independence weekend blood bath. Hot weather!
What the hell did I get myself into? G MAC.....
Just add armed Predator Drones to the Air and Water Show, and kill 2 Turds with 1 Stone.
February? That's a fucking joke, right? lol.
Bill Kurtis drinking the Kool-Aid -story on Ceasefire - the man does not have a clue. He and Skippy should have stayed retired with their reputations intact. When will these people realize that these gangbangers have no interest in seeing the violence end - they will have to find real jobs. Is their funding/program in question right now before the legislature or city council? Does not seem to be a coincidence that thugs appeared on the beaches to demonstrate the need for Ceasefire. Any money for them only increases their power. Beware!
Excellent article by John T. Bennett on the " American Thinker " website titled " Racial violence has not made it into the conversation about race "
Tidbit; D.O.J. statistics, ( yea, Eric Holders D.O.J.) show that 33% of white murder victims are killed by non-whites while 8% of black murder victims are killed by non-blacks.
I guess that's what stopping black on black crime is about, eh Jessie J. ?
Good one,SCC, you had me for a few stunned
minutes. Unfortunately, the way things are going, it
could become a reality.
I heard that it will also be scheduled between the hours of 5am-7:30am.
But the lake is frozen in February ........?
The air and frozen water show!!
*** ATTENTION ***
Your attention please!
The City of Chicago will be closed until further notice due to the sweltering heat.
Anyone who STILL wants to leave their iPods, iPhones, wristwatches, jewelry, wedding rings etc., OR donate their life savings to our criminal population or politicians through our "HIGHEST TAXES IN AMERICA" program, feel free to visit our sewer of a city... err... I mean our fair city at any time.
Thank you for your support.
Maybe after "flash wilding" tears through this lakefront crowd, this event WILL be canceled. I mean, past behavior best indicator of future behavior, right?
...or you mean to tell me that they be turnin' it around?
If we can't control a simple warm day at the beach anymore, let alone a fireworks show, why is this any different?
A. We don't have anough police manpower.
B. The crowds have a different agenda.
Wait... in February you can see the USCG Cutter Mackinaw opening shipping lanes... now thats something you dont see everyday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!wooo hooo. I was at the fireworks maybe 10 yrs ago.. Drove up from Champaign to see them.... the mob afterwards was way more than I could handle with small kids....now I guess I will just see the fireworks from my rooftop....much safer that way ... the silly people can go to the fireworks and cause mayhem... I wont bother.

Oh...if only it were true.
OT:A 44-year-old Oklahoma man was arrested and charged Tuesday for carrying a loaded handgun in his carry-on while going through security at O'Hare International Airport, officials said.
Christopher Baldridge was arrested early Tuesday morning when airport security spotted a loaded gun inside his backpack, police said.
He was charged with boarding an aircraft with a weapon, a felony.
A published report said Baldridge told authorities it was his first visit to Chicago and that he foolishly brought along the gun for protection because he's heard how violent Chicago is.
Baldridge appeared in bond court Tuesday, said Police News Affairs Officer Ron Gaines
Nice going Rahmbo & Mcnoballs. Not even a month in to your new seats and you are lying yr asses off. You goods will spend so much time trying to cover shit up to avoid an all out riot that you will actually cause one.
Funny.
hahaha..
Man-oh-man. Looking around the net on these Memorial Day uprising other cities are laughing at Chicago and the media attempts to portray an 88 degree day at the beach as a medical emergency.
Look at the comments on these stories as you cruise the net.
What an embarrassment.
Not to mention that the beach was ordered closed at about 6 pm right?
So the peak heat for the day was O-V-E-R.
Anyways...so...do we know if today's Cub's or Sox's game has been called off out of concern that we will not be able to get ambulances in if there's an emergency?
We better get ol' Larry out there at the parks with his two inch fire hose just in case we need to spray a mist.
Word has it that some people in the Wrigley bleachers are feeling lightheaded and are falling down..
This little fiasco speaks volumes on Chicago's emergency preparedness should we have a real terrorist-like disaster were the situation would be several orders of magnitude greater doesn't it?
Did we not learn anything from the little snowstorm on LSD a few months back?
The message is loud and clear to me that's for sure.
Chicago is unprepared to handle any major emergency ESPECIALLY IN THE DOWNTOWN LAKEFRONT AREA.
We could not get manpower and equipment in to clear the drive back then and we don't have a response today to a crowd of a few thousand at the lakefront.
You're running scared Chicago. But the million dollar Alderman and Ex-mayor feel safe with their taxpayer funded security teams.
Poilce Helicopter will be grounded due to cold weather.
2 ODPO's and a few OD Firemen will stop by with Bass boats on a trailer.
How about those downtown parking garages too huh? Now there's a disaster waiting to happen.
Talk about a total disregard for the public safety!
The political apparatus leases out the parking garages to their Investment Banker friends and then the bankers rip out the emergency phone system, telling you to go eff yourself in not so many words -- use your cell phone...underground...where's there's little to no coverage...because it will TAKE THEM 30 DAYS TO WIRE IN A NEW SYSTEM!!!
Do we need to have a major event happen before the powers that be find this unacceptable. WTH?

Millennium, Grant Park Garage Emergency Phones Out of Service
Updated: Thursday, 02 Jun 2011, 8:01 AM CDT
Published : Thursday, 02 Jun 2011, 8:01 AM CDT
FOX Chicago News
Chicago - The emergency phones in garages underneath Millennium and Grant Park have been out of commission since mid-May, and according to the Chicago Tribune , they won't be replaced until July.
LAZ Parking, which operates the garages, said the phone system is being upgraded.
They suggest people use their cell phones.

Well the city obviously needs to order a few dozen of those predator drones with the camera's and armament to patrol the lakefront.
Cameras are the answer to everything in this city don't ya know.
We launch a few missiles into the crowds at the beach if they appear to be getting too rowdy and just call them suspected gangbangers if we make a mistake.
Sure some innocent people may get hurt but we are doing this to protect the people and the illegal immigrants that are taking sanctuary -- that are only seeking a better life..doing the jobs that Americans do not want to do
Wow, next thing you know, they'll be closing beaches and claiming it's too hot for people to be at the beach!!
OT, saw 2 of Rogers Park's biggest burglars sleazing around Caldwell and Central yesterday. Keep your eyes open in that area folks.
Shut up smitty!!! I was half asleep when I read it!!! - Jovan (made for several jokes while at court this morning)
You got me excited for nothing. Now I still need to leave town during the show.
Accidentally posted before I was done. The 2 burglars I saw near Caldwell and Central were the Tanase or Tenase brothers. Romanian guys. One on a bike, one on foot shortly behind. Just a heads up to anyone who lives over there.
"...all the freedom that Chicago gives to its big voting bloc!"
--6/02/2011 07:13:00 AM
They are only necessary -- to anyone at all -- on election days.
The rest of the time is just "high maintenance."
Bring your snow shovel to the Air & Water Show in February. City does not need the revenue from the huge lakefront venues anymore. Gangs have the power.
Maybe the Planes should drop bombs on the unruly crowd.
Evidently the Ballerino brought his Spin Machine with him from Washington. It seems toi be in working order.
I thought they disbanded the Marine Unit to add POs to the street. Oh wait that's going to happen next week with GEU and narcotics. Rahm waits all units cut so there are enough POs on the street to walk door to door and check on everyone's well being. The uniform will be changed to milk man jumpsuits because they aren't as scary to the public.
Only GHETTO festivals will be allowed this summer. You heard it here last!
DONT WORRY IT IS A SHAKE DOWN!
U SEE DA NEW MAYOR IS GONNA MAKE PRIVATE BIZ-NESS PICK UP THE TAB.
THEN HE WILL SMILE AND SAY HE SAVED THE DAY.
LOTS OF TOURIST LOTS OF CASH.

Skating rink closed due to icy conditions.
I usually read this blog with disgust and disdain, but this made me laugh out loud. Nice one.
"Puerto rican fest cancelled and so is Mexican independence weekend blood bath. Hot weather!"
Why don't we have a little fun and combine those two along with billiken, one giant gangbang.
The gang members where heard chanting yes we can while taking over the lake front. This city is screwed thanks to J-Slime and his pandering to the reverends. He and his criminal boss daley have fucked the city yet again.
OT does 1st district still have a detail on mr & mrs daley townhouse?
keep this BS police detail on the front burner , wouldn't everyone like armed chauffers for family members on the taxpayers back.
city's broke , no fireworks
unpaid furlo days , but plenty of money for a citizen with 3 part time jobs and a $200,000 pension
and million in political war chest
Will there be a Ice-Dancing competion???!!

Cancel That damn Bud Bilikin parade!
Useless parade of all time and parks full of assholes, hating on da Police!
Da Pelon
Based on cost, the Bud Biliken parade should be canceled. The amount of police presence needed to attempt to keep control is massive. The powers that be and the media always hide the fact that so much violence occurs there. If just one of the Chicago "journalists" would get a scanner and monitor the CW that the parade is broadcast on, they would be shocked. The sheer amount of fights, shootings, foot chases and guns recovered would scare them silly. Of course they wouldn't report it, not PC to point out violent behavior in black areas. I wonder if someone in the media would have the balls to ask the department exactly how much manpower is allocated to the parade every year. If you actually counted all the people you would be wondering who is patrolling the other neighborhoods. This parade needs to end, it is only by incredible luck that an innocent by stander hasn't been shot or killed yet. But it is coming, you can't put blinders on all the time and come out lucky everytime. Lets not even talk about the hundred of lost kids every year. What a joke. End this racial farce,
I was goin too the beach on friday but i just saw its goin to be 90 out so it will probably be closed...
All kidding aside, carry off duty with a minimum of .40 caliber for good stopping power.

6/02/2011 08:36:00 AM
So a 38 can't do it? 5 or 6 can't get it done for you? I thought its all about shot placement, not spray and pray.
"All kidding aside, carry off duty with a minimum of .40 caliber for good stopping power."
If you will learn how to aim that noise maker, you can carry a .22 and be effective. Spray and pray is just that.
Move the Bud Biliken parade to January.
Hey McCarthy, do you know what a gang banger looks like? Maybe they appear a little different on the East Coast, but come out and work with some real Police Officers for a few evenings, trust me the inside computer geeks and pen pushers have no idea what is going on, what we need and what we can do to resolve the issues on the street. You want to be a Boss, be a Man and a Boss, forget the inside kiss asses and juice kids at 35th, pick a district, find a set of partners with excellent numbers, (yes we are out here), and find out what is going on and I am sure we can show you what a gang banger looks like. Unless you would rather hide behind rahm and the suck asses at 35th... Step up and remember, Nobody rides for free, lunch is on you Chicago style pizza!

Ok, How about I shoot you with my .38 and see how you like it.
So now we have moved on to the second faze in surrender. The gangbangers that own the street don't bother me, so it's not too bad.
That was my post, and you could not have gotten me more wrong. I prefer health, but given a choice, would prefer TB to lung cancer. Does that mean I am surrendering to the bacillus?

AMAZING post. Excellent!
Bruce Rottner and Jimmy Jackson put their papers in today. Confirmed.
I really feel like this is about more then just the budget... could it be associated with terrorist threats that they might not be ready to share with us yet.
5 people shot & killed in Yuma, AZ. Schools & Court buildings closed or on lock down as of 1820 Hrs. this date.
Hmmm, not closed because of the hot weather eh?
OT: Yes, marksmanship is always THE deciding factor, but today we face the prospect of multiple armed offenders.
Everyone I knew that was
involved in a off duty shooting, armed w/ 5 or 6 shot snub and by grace of Providence survived, promptly armed themselves w/ 13 shot 9mm Brownings ( yea, back in the day)
My choice today, Glock .40 s&w, 13 shot w/ spare mag. AND practice, practice, dry & live fire.
THERE ARE NO SECOND PLACE WINNERS.
OT: Telling Tale?
Just read an email from DS Brown sent today. Jimmy Jackson and or Bea Cuello were not CC'd, only Gene Williams and Al Wysinger. Evidently they are already gone? Can anyone verify?
"A .38 five shot or 9mm (the same load essentially) isn't going to make it these days."

Shot placement, shot placement, shot placement.

I am making the assumption that these are gypsies? Did you call the police or notify 016's tact team/ A5 so they could setup a moving surveillance?
Please do a detailed information report and submit any information, that may aid in stopping this menace.
There is a very serious gypsy problem in A5, particularly in 016/017 right now.
Information like this is gold, please get this to the appropriate units. (A5, Intelligence, 016,017, 025)

Listening to the GMack yesterday on Roe and Roeper, I could hear his nose growing (ala Pinnochio)on the air.
maybe they can cancel the academy details and send them back to the districts too. i'm tired of seeing these full duty officers detailed to the academy ride the trains while texting on their phones, paying no attention to their surroundings.
The asshole that shot John Knight in '99 was hit FOUR times by Department 9mm ammo, three in the chest and one in the face and he walked into a bond hearing two days later. That's why you carry a large caliber round.

----------------------------------
both are right. always go with the biggest caliber possible for "stopping power" but yea shot placement is huge. i let the situation dictate the firearm if possible. i carry a .45 at work, a smaller 9mm off duty and a .380 for those days that are like shorts and a t-shirt..modern medical technolgy and expertice saves alot of people...shot placement..1st. caliber 2nd.

Isn't Feb the month that temps can be below freezing.
And they claim the mid-winter show shouldn't affect attendance by any significant margins.
Right...

OT, saw 2 of Rogers Park's biggest burglars sleazing around Caldwell and Central yesterday. Keep your eyes open in that area folks.
6/02/2011 01:42:00 PM
Accidentally posted before I was done. The 2 burglars I saw near Caldwell and Central were the Tanase or Tenase brothers. Romanian guys. One on a bike, one on foot shortly behind. Just a heads up to anyone who lives over there.
6/02/2011 01:47:00 PM
Some family. There is a Ciprian Tenase in IDOC for a couple more years -- fifth time down. Theft, possession burglary tools, ag robbery, burglary, ag bat PO/fireman, and domestic/physical contact/second time.
What do these people do on the weekends? Bowling, maybe?
Oops- spelling was TANASE, Ciprian.
The Chicago Christmas tree lighting ceremony will now be held where the donated tree is actually growing so that it can be used for several years. Hopefully the temperature will be warmer down there in Florida ....You know those Chicago winters can be deadly. Or as Shortshanks was known to say....."Cold is dangerous, Cold can kill"
(You may substitute the following words for "Cold" as may be needed; water, ice, guns, heat, spray paint, rear porches, etc...)
-Per Richer Daley's new book "How to write a speech in less than 3 sentences and never say anything substantal".-

All kidding aside, carry off duty with a minimum of .40 caliber for good stopping power.
Glock makes nice subcompacts in 9mm, .40cal or (my favorite) .45ACP.
A .38 five shot or 9mm (the same load essentially) isn't going to make it these days.

All kidding aside, I'm not a cop and I like your idea. I avoid the city like a plague but next time I have to go down there, so long as it isn't for court or to a bank, I will be armed. I refuse to become a victim and no $125 bullshit City "license" or anti-CCW law is going to stop me.
If the politicians won't act, we will. Citizens have no choice but to defend themselves. I wish it didn't have to be that way but I will not become one of their bullshit statistics.
This is an example of high school sarcasm that only diminishes the credibility of the blog.
WOW! High school must have been hell for you.
Lighten up Francis.
2,000 short?
A recent check showed only 9494 blue shirts listed.
Don't know what the numbers for the bosses are.
Yes, I remember the Thrill Show at Soldier Field but those were the days when it was a "Thrill" to be the Police and Fireman. Gone are the days . . . . Sad.
Is there any way we can bring back the Fire and Police thrill show?
Who remembers THAT?
6/02/2011 08:46:00 PM
I do, I even have movies of it. Dad was with CFD.
They were great.
That was my post, and you could not have gotten me more wrong. I prefer health, but given a choice, would prefer TB to lung cancer. Does that mean I am surrendering to the bacillus?
6/02/2011 05:59:00 PM
Dave, you have past the point of 'jumping the shark'. From now on you can read but not post.
Yes, Weiner is an ugly creepy looking dude.
What they did to Jimmy Jackson was wrong. He was a good copper and a nice man.
The Academy kids AND their P.O. handlers from the Academy should stay off their blackberries and stop chewing tobacco.
So the Bud Billagain parade will continue but the South Side Irish Parade was cancelled because of criminal activity. You gotta love the double standard.
==
Not exactly, the organizers of the south side parade decided to cancel it because Irish don't know how to handle thier drinking. If urinating on everything and just plain pissing in the air and a lot of scuffles qualify as criminal. It was more out of embarrassment and frustration, but the city never cancelled it. Now, the Puerto Rican fest for comparison, some 2-5 people get killed there every year, that's kinda normal
The asshole that shot John Knight in '99 was hit FOUR times by Department 9mm ammo, three in the chest and one in the face and he walked into a bond hearing two days later. That's why you carry a large caliber round.
6/02/2011 08:43:00 PM
The ammo we are allowed to carry now is alot better than the ammo back then. Shot placement is key, caliber second. If that's not true, why did the swat team elect to all carry glock 17's when they could of went with any caliber glock. 9mm = less recoil resulting in more rounds fired accurately resulting in multiple organ disruption.

Listening to the GMack yesterday on Roe and Roeper, I could hear his nose growing (ala Pinnochio)on the air.

It did not take him too long to learn the Chicago way! He is quickly morphing from G-MACK to McNochio.
But while he is transitioning to a total liar status, which appears to be inevitable, and until he exclusively uses the lawyer-speak computer program known as Tiny Dancer 9.5, where words are parsed with precision in order to mislead, the name of G-McNochio sounds about right.

Well I'll say one thing.
How you gonna put a casino downtown when you can't handle a crowd like this?
6/02/2011 07:20:00 PM
One is a totally structured and controlled environment under a roof and the other was unleashed, open-air pandemonium.
However, if the beaches were operated tightly like a casino, tax-paying, law-abiding citizens who have control of their animal instincts could thoroughly and safely enjoy them. The fees to enter would pay for the security.
The Blue Angels and thunderbirds will appear, they will be equipped with cluster bombs, and 30 mm cannon and give expo on straffing assholes.
..." there is nothing wrong with a .380 hollow point round. 7 yds ,center shot usually means dead. Shot placement more important than caliber. Excellent front pocket concealment and the ability to get to , aim and fire the gun under stress cannot be any better. All good people should carry a .380 pocket pistol."

No the Irish just don't know how to behave.
To the citizens wondering if they should care some heat when they enter Chicago- Absofuckingloutely! We understand your dilemma better than anybody. There is probably not one single copper with an ounce of intelligence that would lockup a middle class,tax paying citizen whose only goal is to survive his/her venture into the city in this day and age. Remember, we didn't write the lawsps here, the corrupt democraps
did. You have our sympathy.
To the poster who believes in shot placement-
Shot placement is fine, important, but what are you going to do when you are armed with a little 5 shot J frame and you are accosted by more than one BG? Remember, anytime you are legally authorized to shoot someone once, shoot them again just to make sure he's not capable of harming you any further. How far do you think those five rounds will go? Carry at a minimum, a 8-9 shot capacity 9mm with an extra mag. Your life may depend on it.
Air Show moved to Feb because of heat. $10 charge to get into the Taste because of budget. Commuters from the N. side and suburbs, recommended not to use the Red Line while texting because of train signal interference...or something like that. those aren't gunshots, they are fireworks celebration! Thats wasn't a gangbanger that pushed you off your bicycle and stole your cooler on the beach, it was your imagination. And that large crowd of people smashing windows and burning cars, they are um....uh.......Crime is down this year!
,,,pocket pistol .380 can be carried in a t shirt and shorts. Larger cal will paint. You need deep conceal , no one either good or bad know you have a gun to protect yourself and your loved ones..
Ha! Please cancel Bud-kill-again parade.
6/02/2011 07:48:00 AM
They won't cancel that. It's not on the lakefront...it's in the ghetto, where no outsiders but the dope buyers, residents, police, and politicians trolling for votes go.
Was the Lakeshore Shore Drive Blizzard Disaster a dress rehearsal for the upcoming winter games?
"Carry at a minimum, a 8-9 shot capacity 9mm with an extra mag. Your life may depend on it."
Maybe in a state with ccw, but in Illinois you got to be careful to not "print". You never know who may notice and make a beef.
