“Hey man, you gotta wipe the prints.  They find the prints, you’re going to get caught.  You gotta wipe the prints!”

-young man on the phone, crossing the street at State and Randolph, downtown Chicago.

Figured you hadn’t gone that far. People temporarily disappear from the blogosphere for many reasons. I’ll just let the police know that you’ve been found and that everything is all right.

Re the State & Randolph quote: Ah, yes. Welcome back to “civilization.”
