Just some random stuff...
- England passes Brexit and leaves the EU
- Trump comes from behind to win the US Presidency
- Marine Le Pen has started to surge in early French voting, trying to secure a spot on the final ballot in 2017 (running short on funds though... Russian ties) Even if it's not Le Pen, it will be Francois Fillon, who is a a dramatic change from Hollande.
- Angela Merkel's Chancellor seat is getting warm with the recent terrorist issues. A lot of protesting is happening now. The branch that focuses on the Chancellor vote is up for election in 2017. No timeline set, but by law it's due sometime between Aug-Nov (I think that's right).
- The rumblings about a Finland exit from the EU are starting to pick up again.
That's a lot major real and potential changes.

I know it sounds crazy but it really is one of the safest downtowns. We just have the highest amount of gang violence in certain neighborhoods. Its tragic what is going on in the south side.

I really want to visit Toronto, people say it's very similar to Chicago. I know several movies that take place in Chicago are actually filmed in Toronto. I hear nothing but great things.

My favorite New Year's ever was at the Navy Pier... 2' of snow... biggest snowball fight I've ever been in. The downside was trying to get a cab back from the pier to our hotel. We opted to walk 4-5 blocks in that stuff, cooooollllddd!

Come on now, we don't really believe the DNC is any more shady than the RNC. Blame the American people for not caring enough about our country to be informed and hold our elected officials accountable. Until that happens none of the rest really matters
