Wallet picked up, everything seems to be intact, thank you note with
$20 left for the student.

This is part of why I like to live here. It is possible to live a
decent life and be relatively honest. It is not the case in many other
countries, where making a living honestly, without bribes and stuff,
is very difficult.

And I'm sure your x-governor tried all he could to "improve" things?

He might still be a governor had he not tried those things...

Iggy, I agree 100%!! While there certainly is occasional corruption in this
country, it is not on a level that effects peoples everyday lives. I can
order a telephone installation without bribing anyone, etc.
I don't get pulled over by policemen simply to fatten their wallets. Been
there, done that.
This country is great.

Does this ever still happen in Chicago?

I rarely drive in Chicago, but such a thing never happened to me in
the US anywhere. I would be shocked if it did. I did not drive in
Russia, but I heard many times that it happens there.

Daley still the mayor? It was under the administration's control
when I lived there. A real racket; I hope it's changed but I'd
be surprised.
