Not sure. I have been downtown @ Chicago Harbor and worked it only a few times. I am at the other lock Chicago... On Calumet we do 10s 1,000 of pleasure craft... But it's not as crazy as the crazy days downtown. It is a bit congested on Chicago River and lock there is 60% smaller... I can imagine the tour boat guide was right! Get one boat deviating from norm, kinda jazzes up the flow of traffic.

I never heard of it! I did have a dude in a pretty decent size cabin cruiser (old POS boat) come thru lock today. He was floundering pretty badly on one-engine. He said he was going to pick up his boyfriend. I guess that's gonna be a "bro boat"... Hate to imagine what takes place on that boat... Not there is anything wrong with that. LoL... I guess what ever floats their boat! 😏

Yeah... First line of defense... BUT screens better. Can't drain all the water! We still have malaria, etc... in the US.

How about the mesh window screen? The mosquito 🦟 has killed more humans than all wars combined in HUMAN HISTORY. Think about that on the 80th anniversary of D-Day...

Maybe. But places like Kolkata & Mumbai exist...

Huh? Sure you can. My father was born in Cheektowaga in the 1930s. His family didn't get indoor plumbing till he got back from the Army in early 1950s. Indoor plumbing is a luxury. Anyway... Plumbing systems have been around since antiquity... Always been a luxury.

HEY! Wassup brutha from unutha mutha! 😏

tRump just needs to lose 12 votes. He'll be fine!😆

Yes. Dow is playing around 40,000 and people's 401k's are doing great!

Thank you!

Pandemic chip shortage!

Lighten up Judge Francis. System is rigged. Let him go. He ain't hurting anyone. 😏

Why is it controversial? He never scored.

Better than a 2 year old:

I was born at Sisters of Charity Hospital in Buffalo on a very snowy February day back in 1968.

No. Things aren't the deepest, darkest days of the pandemic. Who was president then? Be careful what you wish for. I did in 2016 too. I also believe Bills will win SB next year. 😆

Kinda here. But my ultimate boss at work is the POTUS. I never had a convicted felon for a boss. 😆

Even the Jets don't lose 34-0. 😆

Keep hope alive brutha!

No. Because he's gonna lose. Us Americans are dumb, but not THAAAAAT dumb. Sensible people won't vote him in. But hey... Socialist Eugene Debs got 1 million votes in 1920 while sitting in jail. So Americans have always been idiots.
