We went north on the Elgin Branch of the Prairie Path.

Moleskin: The Q noted that he arrived on time to ao_ground_zero, even though he had been showing up a minute or two late in the previous weeks. Why? Because as Q, he held himself accountable for arriving at the AO early. We are capable of showing up on time and being more responsible than believe we are.
