Also, this worked out in my favor when I was in high school and had braces. I could get up an hour earlier than usual, drive to Bismarck (also on CT) for an early orthodontist appointment, then get back to New Salem in time for the first bell.

This confused my friends when they’d ride the bus home with me for a sleepover. I would explain that we were on “fast time” and they would accept that.

Even if they don’t have a sticker up I push buttons in the hopes that one of them will make the noise stop

I lived in the central time zone but my school was in the mountain time zone. Every morning I’d get on the bus at 8:15 and get to school an hour and five minutes later at 8:20. After school I’d get on the bus at 3:30 and get home 45 minutes later at 5:15.

Bsky, sate my curiosity & drop some personal lore.

Me? I played hockey for years - street and ice hockey. And, at only 5' tall & about 100-105 lbs. then, I inexplicably chose to play defense instead of wing or center.

Also, I was a Tower of Terror bellhop at Disney World.

There are signs indicating the trail is closed for maintenance though. And signs warning of upcoming maintenance had been posted for a few weeks.

Can y’all please be on the lookout for my bike? Last seen in Elliot Park. It is a black Biria bike with red pedals and stickers of local news orgs on the bottom tube. It also has a Brooks saddle and adapters for Wolf Tooth pogies on the handlebars.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

I really only have space for one cat and Homer doesn’t play well with others. Hopefully her family finds her soon.

While Mayor Frey and Chief O’Hara have attempted to claim that MPD only showed up at the ICE action on June 3rd to assist with crowd control, ICE agents certainly saw MPD’s actions differently.

In fact, the ICE Special Agent in Charge emailed O’Hara to say thank you that same day.

Title text: "ICE Thanks O'Hara & MPD" with the following quote below: "I cannot tell you how impressed my staff were as you stepped up and personally escorted that tactical vehicle through the crowd." Below that is a screenshot of an email sent from Jamie Holt, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Securities Investigations to Chief O'Hara.

He’s working hard checking membership cards at Kitty Costco today. He accepts treats if you don’t have a membership.

At least that long, yes. I adore this rescue and have adopted two cats from them, but I don’t think they do enough to promote themselves and their pets.
