Yes, I do love a good Chicago style hot dog! Today I had the good fortune to try the Chicago Hamburger Co on Indian School Road in Phoenix…and I must say…this place most definitely lives up to it’s reputation!

I had a Chicago style dog and a couple of sliders and they were both excellent. I can’t wait to go back to try the Italian beef!

I don’t care if it rains or freezes….long as I got my plastic Jesus…sittin on the dashboard of my car…comes in colors pink and pleasant….glows in the the dark cause it’s iridescent…take it with you…when you travel far….Get yourself a sweet Madonna….dressed in rhinestones sitting on a pedestal of abalone shell…goin 90 I ain’t scary cause I got the Virgin Mary…assuring me…that I won’t go to hell.  Get yourself a sweet Madonna…dressed in rhinestones sitting on a pedestal of abalone shell…goin 90 I ain’t wary cause I got the Virgin Mary…assuring me…that I won’t go to hell…

Goodbye Luke…you are the existential hero of my youth…the man who refuses to stay down when beaten….who’s great crime is individualism…..Christ figure….allegory….man who paid his dues but has no due….eventually destined for martyrdom…I will miss you.

The Downtown Deli!!! Haven’t eaten there in years…but “the straw” still tastes the same and it’s awesome!!!

I’m not quite ready to concede the end of summmer…but at least we did have a nice sub-100 degree day today!!!

Alec had his first Cross Country meet of the season today. It was also his first meet ever, as this is his first year doing Cross Country. This particular meet was at home against Kyrene Middle School (KMS). I’m happy to say that both the Pueblo girls and boys had an impressive victory against the scorpions of KMS and Alec did an excellent job! Go Bulldogs! I thought it was going to be brutally hot, but about an hour before the meet we had a light sprinkling of rain that was just enough to cool it off to a bearable level.

I took a few snaps of the meet, which can be viewed here:
