Illinois Latino Judges Association to hold Spring Social on May 22

The Illinois Latino Judges Association will hold its Spring Social on Thursday, May 22, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., at Chief O'Neill's Pub & Restaurant, 3471 N. Elston.

Tickets are $75 each, payable by Zelle, if you know what that is. It apparently involves pointing your phone like a raygun at someone else, only instead of the targeted person disintegrating, like in the movies or on TV, the person receiving the blast gets money in an amount you intended to send. According to my kids, who chide me for still using checks, which at least have legal definition, standing, and a library of statutes and caselaw addressing disputes, Zelle is but one of several such flimsy flim-flam photon transfer agents that can spare you the Herculean labor of writing a physical check. As long as you never, ever lose your phone. Or fail to charge it. Or leave it at home.

Cost-benefit analysis is clearly a lost art....
