Watch: Man kayaks across the Chicago River to commute to work [Video]

Bumper to bumper, harkins, the Kennedy inbounds an hour three today from o’hare to downtown in Chicago. Frustrating. Nothing seems to flow smoothly except all right, the Chicago River, no traffic on the river today. Dan Schreiner has to work downtown today. Open up the valves here, but it’ll be *** workout to get there from Roscoe Village. We got the beautiful north branch of the Chicago River right here. He could easily take the Kennedy, but this is way more scenic, but he prefers *** kayak. His commute. Not bad. Right is the kind of reporter has to see for himself. Dan usually makes this trip solo *** few mornings *** month looking perfect. We should run our fishing rods. It started with the New Year’s resolution giving back to Mother Earth and no emissions and uh try to inspire some people to be healthy. Just thought it was kind of *** wacky idea. And my wife said, yeah, you should do this for sure. So kind of like those two weeks back in 2017 when Dan biked 1000 miles to win *** winter biking contest. So that’s basically like driving your bike to Milwaukee after work every single night. So, so all told, how long does this commute typically take you depending on how hot it is. About three hours. That level of patience can even impress *** fisherman. Get out of here three hours. Oh, he got to be crazy. Some people just like the adventurous route. So yeah, all those herons apparently nest right around here. The Chicago river flows full of surprises. You got *** capsized boat. That’s cool. This one he’ll report to the proper authorities first time I’ve seen that. But the next unexpected find in the water message in *** bottle, Dan keeps to himself *** smooth ride. Shouldn’t be confused with easy. So I’ve already got *** yeah, my cushions flat. So I think it’s pulling to one side too here. But on the river rush hour doesn’t exist, you got to really scoot across this intersection quickly and there’s just *** little traffic on the water near Wacker Drive. All right. Feeling good. All Dan has to do before work is squeeze *** boat into *** backpack. I’m very interested and fish. *** message out of *** bottle, do whatever you want to do in life. What would you do if you could not fill, do that? Then call me and tell me about it. Just wait time to get to work until they hear about *** kayaker commute.

Trump campaigns in Western states as Harris focuses on critical Pennsylvania [Video]

Former President Donald Trump will campaign Friday in Western states as his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris keeps her focus on one of the biggest battleground prizes in the East, Pennsylvania.Trump is scheduled to hold whats being billed as a news conference in the morning at his Los Angeles-area golf club before heading to northern California for a fundraiser, followed by a rally in Las Vegas, the largest city in swing state Nevada.Harris, meanwhile, heads to Johnstown and Wilkes-Barre on Friday as she tries to capitalize on her momentum after Tuesday nights debate. Its her second day of back-to-back rallies after holding two events in North Carolina, another swing state, on Thursday.While speaking in Charlotte, Harris took a victory lap for her debate performance in which she needled Trump and kept him on the defensive. Recounting one moment while campaigning in North Carolina, she mocked Trump for saying he had concepts of a plan for replacing the Affordable Care Act.Concepts. Concepts. No actual plan. Concepts, she said as the crowd roared with laughter.Her campaign said she raised $47 million from 600,000 donors in the 24 hours after her debate with Trump.Harris said the candidates owe it to voters to have another debate. But Trump said he wont agree to face off with her again.Trumps morning event will mark the second Friday in a row that the Republican has scheduled a news conference, though at his last appearance in New York, the former president didnt take any questions. Instead, the Republican for nearly an hour railed against women who have accused him of sexual misconduct over the years, resurrecting the allegations in the public eye days before his debate with Harris.Its unclear whether Trump plans to speak about any subject in particular at Fridays news conference, but his campaign has added more to his schedule since early August as he tries to contrast himself with Harris. She has not held a news conference since becoming a presidential candidate and the Democrat has only sat for one in-depth interview.Her campaign has said she will start doing more interviews with local media outlets concentrated in battleground states.After appearing at his golf club in upscale Rancho Palos Verdes, Trump will head to a fundraiser in the afternoon in the Bay Area town of Woodside that is being hosted by billionaire software developer Tom Siebel and his wife, Stacey Siebel. Tom Siebel is the second cousin once removed of Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat and surrogate for Harris.Attendees will pay at least $3,300 per person or raise $10,000 for the campaign, according to an invitation. Top-tier donors will get a photo, reception and roundtable, paying $500,000 for a couple to be on the host committee or $150,000 per person to be a co-host.Its Trump’s second fundraising stop in California in as many days as he tries to make up fundraising ground against Harris.Even before she raked in cash after the debate, the vice president reported raising $361 million in August from nearly 3 million donors, her first full month as a candidate after replacing President Joe Biden. Trump brought in $130 million over the same period. Harris campaign reported that it started September with $109 million more on hand than Trumps did.On Friday night, he heads to Las Vegas, where hell have a rally in the citys downtown area. Trump was in the city last month for a brief stop to promote his proposal to end federal taxes on workers tips, something thats expected to especially resonate in the tourist city, where much of the service-based economy includes workers who rely on tips. He announced a new proposal Thursday to end taxes on overtime pay.The swing state is one that Trump narrowly lost in 2016 and 2020 and is among about half a dozen that both campaigns are heavily focused on.The Republican presidential ticket has visited Clark County, Nevada, four times since June. Trump has held campaign events in Las Vegas three times, while his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, held a rally in suburban Henderson in July.The Democratic ticket also has visited four times, although two of those campaign events were by President Joe Biden before he dropped out of the race. Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, had a joint rally in Las Vegas last month, and Walz visited the city again Tuesday.___Long reported from Washington. Associated Press writers Michael R. Blood in Los Angeles, Chris Megerian in Washington and Tom Verdin in Sacramento contributed to this report.
