Bill Roper's Journal

I went to Jewel on Olmstead and Palatine Saturday evening, to pick up a couple of things. There were cars going in every legal direction, since it was Saturday, and hot, and Blockbuster and Oberweis are in one corner of the lot. Imagine my surprise when the chippie ahead of me pulls into the entrance to the Jewel parking lot (remember, cars everywhere) and executes a sloppy U-turn IN THE MOUTH OF THE ENTRANCE TO THE PARKING LOT. I brake as she careens out at me (did I mention it was a sloppy U-turn?), and SHE gives ME the finger.
