Dang, I just had a woman try to punch me in the head!

Outside this woman is quickly walking down the street crying and talking to herself. Just another day in #UptownChicago I'm thinking. Ordinarily I counsel people not to be scared of people with reality issues, they are usually the safest people to be around, they almost never get violent.

But as she got close to me, she veered toward me screaming 'I hate you' and swung at my head. I jumped backwards into the brick wall to avoid it.

I feel for these guys. It's cold and windy outside, even worse hanging off the 5th floor of a building.

Jet formation of I think 5 jets just flew overhead for the #ChicagoCubs opening day game. This seems like a waste of public money for a private enterprise to me...

Another outside having a smoke today...

Guy walks by with a hoodie that says 'Is he dead yet?'
Me: I like your hoodie
Guy: Thanks!
Me: I know who you're talking about
Guy: Exactly!

What I learned today...

Outside having a smoke, guy walks up to me and says, hey do you know where I can get some tean? I'm like what? He says tean. I'm like I don't know what that is. He whispers rock. I'm like ohhh... nope, no idea...

The line is gone now. Usually it's twice as long from where I'm taking the photo to the tables, 2 or 3 people abreast, once a week to get food. People will wait in line for over an hour, even in below 0°F weather.
