Megan and I went to the famous Graceland Cemetery in Chicago to see all the famous dead people. This is Allen Pinkerton who founded the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, which became famous for saving Abraham Lincoln from one assassination attempt. They are probably most famous for being strikebreakers and beating up or killing members of unions on behalf of industrialists.

Philip Armour is the REAL "Sausage King of Chicago." He was the first to can meat and to use a reverse assembly line method it butchering (instead of assembling a car, they tore apart a cow). Also famous for being the focus of Upton Sinclair's book, The Jungle, about poor labor conditions and knowingly selling tainted meat.

Phil came to town and we just happened to find Market Days in Boystown. We should have known something was going on when we saw a tranny fight at the train station...

That about sums it up। Back to living a normal life of grocery shopping, work, and playing Madden...
