Quite the roller coaster the last couple of days.

hey is that a Miata you're driving there?

Boo, that's like a decade. I think the chances of a new tallest coming to fruition is greatly reduced with that timeframe. We need to beat Shelbyville NOW!

A few years back, in the middle of winter, we conditionally bought a house. By the time of the inspection a couple of weeks later, the snow in the backyard had melted...revealing the 100+ scattered turds the owners just left piling up. It was disgusting, and enough to walk away from the deal.

While I'm in favour of more aggressive enforcement/prevention on the front end, I think more of exactly this is needed for those who want help on the back end. Treatment centers out in the countryside, away from the temptation of the streets, where people can focus on recovery in a positive...

The idea of AuArts "moving into a new building downtown" has been around since atleast when I was there (and that was...checks notes...jeebus, 20+ years ago!). The problem is that AUArts has zero money, and not much outside support...either from the government or private donors. It's been...
