migration

This may go against your natural desire to have lights on at night, but there's a good reason why millions in Illinois are being advised to leave them off.

I get it, but there are also some aspects of this survey that I don't understand. Illinois is once again tops in America for the sheer number of people that are leaving. Let's look at the science and data and also some opinions about why many believe this is true.

At one point in our state's history, Illinois was a big growth spot in the country. During the 19th century up to just past the midpoint of the 20th century, people from all over the country and the world poured into Illinois.

Another headline I considered was "Stuff You Notice When You're Quarantined And Bored," but I thought it was too abstract. My neighbor wasn't fond of it either when I yelled it to him for approval over the backyard fence. Might be the mask.

Monarch butterflies, one of the few insects that migrate, are on the move from their summer-season homes in southern Canada toward their wintering homes in Mexico, and many are coming right through our area.
