Addison Underpass Flooded

Just a heads up, little tunnel that goes under Lakeshore Drive towards the lake and Jarvis conservatory is flooded. It's definitely not traversable, it's almost waist deep/at the railing height due to the recent rains. Anyone who's trying to get over to that side should either drive there, or go through Irving Park/ Belmont because those streets won't have that happening? I assume other underpasses have the same issues!

Is this Cat Safe?

I recently bought a desk terrarium that should be self contained, and I can't tell what it is. There is no label and the company page is supremely unhelpful with a list of two dozen plants but no way to know which I purchased. I have a cat so I want to know if I can one day plant it larger pots without him being in danger if he interacts with it.

I live in Chicago, IL though obviously that won't matter too much for this.

What kind of Duck (Chicago, 2025)

Came across this at Montrose Bird Sanctuary in Chicago last year and remembered it when I was looking through older photos. It clearly has a duck beak but seems to be a very different pattern than the mallards I've come across. Is it just a different age or a fully different kind?

Thank you!
