Here we go again 😷

A screen shot showing Chicago air quality starting to creep up again due to forest fires in Canada. The index is at 174, which is considered unhealthy and has worsened from earlier in the day

I’m the glutton for punishment who flew to the southeast US just as the temps were finally coming down in Chicago 😓

Having a real tough Friday here ☺️

Help! I flew 800 miles south and it’s even colder down here 😭

A selfie outside an airport in the south looking slightly annoyed because it’s cold and rainy here. I’m wearing a blue hoodie, a backpack, a brown baseball cap and black glasses

Oh hey, just minding my own business eating a slice of chocolate haupia pie on a beach in Hawaii

After the snow and cold we’ve had in Chicago, it’s nice spending Christmas somewhere flowers are still blooming 🌸😌

Nolan@turnstileblues· Nov 11

Ok, so we didn’t get as much snow as we could have, which makes me muy triste, but walking outside last night was still kinda magical ☺️

Saturday morning at a coffee shop in war-torn Portland, sipping a latte while a Japanese easy-listening record plays 😌

A picture looking out a cafe window, of a coffee with decorative latte art in the shape of a heart, sitting on a table with a ceramic vase of purple flowers, and a street scene with a blue bike rack and chairs

Got my tracking device updated! (Also why didn’t they give me a cuter bandaid? 😢)

Lake Superior is COOOOLD y’all

A picture of my feet wading in the cold water of Lake Superior. The view looks down at my legs standing on a sandy beach with clear water washing around my ankles

I’m forever an autumn girlie, but I’m just not sure this is the vibe

A little respite for my followers today

Pine and deciduous branches line the sides of the Mosquito River in northern Michigan. The gentle rapids are stained almost black from the tannins of decaying pine trees further upstream

The Grand Portal of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in northern Michigan. Autumn reds and greens color the tops of 200-foot limestone cliffs as the teal waters Lake Superior churn below. In the distance there is a stone arch, carved by a millennia of waves

A forested path through Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in northern Michigan. Lush greenery covers the forest floor with a worn path leading off into the distance. Several birch logs are decaying in the foreground

A view along Twelve-Mile Beach in northern Michigan. Autumn trees flank the left side of the beach and Lake Superior’s waves break along the eastern side, with dramatic clouds in the distance

Oh good, I scratched my neck in my sleep and now I look like a horny teenager

Maybe I’ll just post every time I have helado at engagement events. Today’s flavor: chicle azul 🍧

We love a cute, composed, cocktail shot 🙌🏼

WHY IS MY PHONE PUTTING ME ON BLAST LIKE THIS

Had an outdoor engagement event today. On the downside, it was hot as shit. On the upside, bolis de fresa! 😋

An image of a hand holding a bolis de fresa, which is a Mexican ice cream frozen in a plastic tube. You bite open the top and eat it just like a push-pop

Sometimes all you need is to pet a sweet pup ☺️

I would like to go back to Spain now please

A picture of me in front of Casa Battló, an iconic building in Barcelona designed by Antoni Gaudí. I’m in the foreground wearing a blue polo and snazzy new sneakers, and the building facade behind me has smooth, flowing lines, warm concrete, and blue and green mosaic accents

No train, but I guess at least the paint is fresh

The CTA can’t run reliable service, but at least they keep the stations painted
