Back from Chicago, feeling a bit gassed after a long weekend of work
Starting out this week like a beached whale.

My body is my temple

I got some heat for these photos, turns out the guy who made the noise was the only other guy with photos of this place at the time. He was selling them - afraid I'd cut into his profits- he reported me to the rabbi who owns this temple.

Sometimes after a hard few hours of drinking and disk golfing...you fall out on the floor. 
This is a tribute to my good frined Jeff. 

Get it together bro...

Sometimes, things get weird. 
We've all done weird things, seen weird people, been weird places.

Gummy Conclusion 

This is one of the most amazing places I ever had the pleasure of exploring. Located at 35th and Ashland, the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company’s crown factory. The place where signature gum flavors like Spearmint and Doublemint were born. Built in 1911, I had the great fortune of making two trips before it fell to the wrecking ball. I'm not sure how much of the factory if any still stands. 
- the floors were slick with a thick sticky brown substance. Sugar. The 10 story tall sugar silo the building is built around fed all the various machines with the sticky substance to make gum. Over the years, after having all the machinery cut away, the pipes that carry the sugar all over the factory slowly bleed out the left over- leaving all of the production floors in the factory glistening in tar like splendor.

From time to time I find my self on all 4's stooped over in the back yard inches from some odd creature or another. Pausing for a moment to be face to face with nature can be a wonderfully fulfilling break from the perils of trying to keep up with our evolving political landscape. During this series, I will inevitably feature images of bugs and animals I find in my travels abroad or to my back yard.
