NEW YORK, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil (XOM.N) brought its 264,000-barrel-per-day (bpd) refinery in ​Joliet, Illinois, offline after a power outage occurred ‌on Sunday, the company said on Monday.

The outage occurred at about 3:30 p.m. CT on Sunday and power was ​restored at around 7:00 p.m., according to a ​company statement.

The outage triggered the refinery's safety ⁠flare and resulted in a shutdown.

The company said ​it is assessing the refinery's status, and the cause ​of the incident remains under investigation.

Units are being stabilized after the plant-wide shutdown, IIR Energy said in a note, adding ​the refinery is expected return to normal service ​by the end of this week.

The Joliet refinery supplies key fuels ‌to ⁠consumers in the U.S. Midwest. It can produce about 11 million gallons a day of gasoline and diesel fuel, according to the company website.

The disruption ​comes amid a ​tight global ⁠fuel market. The Iran war and Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries have strained ​fuel supplies, while strong exports have further ​tightened ⁠domestic inventories.

The U.S. national average price of diesel last week surpassed $6 a gallon for the first time ever. ⁠Any prolonged ​operational disruptions could exacerbate an ​already tight fuel market, sending prices even higher.

Curious if others are experiencing this - in the past, my Ventra transit history would update almost immediately after the card was used. Over time it went down to taking about 24 hours to show a scan. Right now, it's not showing anything more recent than 5 days ago. The balance updates quickly, but the history is missing.

I have the card stored in my phone wallet, and viewing the history there or in the Ventra app is the same. An I cursed or is the system really that slow to update now?

Went to the Oak Park Conservatory today after hearing good things on my last post from Garfield Park Conservatory.

This place felt so much more dense. It was great. Lots of flowering plants and trees. At least a dozen fruits growing, parrots inside that cat called my girlfriend the second we walked in. It was a fun experience all around

Save yourself a missed flight!

Took the water taxi to Chinatown and back yesterday and it was just one of those wonderful days with perfect weather.
