just a couple items from last week

 We were all puzzled by Suzanne's Navy Pier painting with the trees, so I went there in the middle of last week and there they were.  I am positive they were not there last year.

And as for Alan cavalierly calling my house finches purple finches, I present this photo.  Purple?  I think not. 

And I went to Alan's vaccine passport website and found it legitimate and easy, but I imagine they are a bit backed up so I haven't gotten my final official version yet.
