Grace, may I please hijack this thread for a moment? We have had two police officers killed in Chicago in the past couple of weeks. I think this is an appropriate place to note it since this thread honors heroes.
1) Officer Michael Bailey was coming home from work yesterday morning and was in front of his home when he was approached by men, shot and killed. He was less than a month away from mandatory retirement.
2) Officer Thor Soderberg was killed in a robbery attempt last week.
It is sad to see this happening more than once. It seems like the violence in Chicago gets worse when the weather gets very hot.
