| Chicago Teachers' Strike |

I know that might sound odd, but distances have never made a big difference to me, a few miles, a few hundred miles, it didn't make a difference. But with September 11th passing by quietly and now trying to show my support for the Chicago's Teachers' Union from afar feels a bit odd as a lot of the people around me don't know what is going on and aren't talking about it.
