In many cases, the end result is actually further cleaning — art like this often pushes municipalities to send out teams that then wash off entire areas to make them look consistent again.Which might, by making them wetter, bring forth even more art.
The zoo takes only fresh, unsold trees from select vendors. It doesn’t accept trees from the public, which could contain chemicals or leftover decorations.…and get a mouthful of chemicals, would you?
Fruit Stripe may have been best known for its oversized packs of spectral-striped gum sticks, each bearing a distinct fruit flavor that typically faded away quickly upon chewing. For years, the packs contained temporary tattoos of brand mascot Yipes the rainbow zebra that kids could apply to their arms, legs and faces; gum chewers often joked that the tattoos lasted far longer than the gum’s flavor did.
…and nobody's there to chew it…
Well, OK, that doesn't work any better than the gum does, apparently.
But I, for one, was never there to chew it. In fact, even though hanging around Chicago for quite a few years, I've never even heard of it. And there may be a tree falling in the a forest right now…
But that doesn't mean…
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Astronauts will have to wait until next year before flying to the moon and at least two years before landing on it, under the latest round of delays announced by NASA on Tuesday.
I wonder how many times a person could read the airline magazine in two years.
''To the Printer of the Worcester Journal. I take the liberty of informing you and the public that the account of a melancholy accident happening to a poor man at Evesham which was inserted in your last paper is utterly devoid of foundation: as is likewise that part of it which mentions a certain person being mayor elect of that borough for the ensuing year. - It would better become that ridiculous scribbler who sent you such a paragraph to employ this wonderous abilities to a more laudable purpose than to intrude such an empty piece of pretended intelligence which is equally as void either of with or instruction as it most certainly is of truth. I am yours etc. H.'' This letter had the following footnote: (In order to suppress the like impositions on the public, the Printer in future will not insert any articles of deaths, marriages, etc which are sent by anonymous writers.) The actual occurence was that a man was reported to have fallen into a vat of boiling ale
"On Tuesday, weather conditions in many parts of the country intensified, with heavy rain drenching parts of the East Coast while blizzard conditions walloped the Pacific Northwest and tornadoes ripped through the South."…
…sez the New York Times this morning,
And all that walloping and ripping (what happened to smiting?) has left half a million people, mostly on the East Coast, without power, also sez.
Climate change, the prevailing wisdom holds, will bring weather even more turbulent. So how many more will be left without light, heat (it is December after all), refrigeration, transportation, communications, and hair dryers in our impending electric future?
Plenty more, one supposes, unless somebody builds a better grid.
The National Transportation Safety Board recently put out a call for locals to help with the search for plane debris, and Bates says he wanted to help out. Going for a walk, Bates stumbled upon an iPhone on the side of the road, which was apparently undamaged except for a broken-off charger cord still plugged into the device.
Maybe it was in Airplane Mode.
[BTW, the plane didn't actually blow apart. It just lost a door and then landed safely, minus said iPhone and some guy's shirt (this was mentioned in a post a few days ago). The NTSB is now blaming loose bolts, if that makes you feel any better.)
…can be fun for about six hours, and then it's 73 days until Spring.
Mark your calendar.
Forecast calls for more snow and rain on Tuesday; rain on Wednesday and again on Saturday.
Welcome to New England winter.
The communication includes a bitmap of prime numbers, elements associated with life, depictions of water, ethanol, and dopamine, horse and human forms, and a landscape. It also includes several images of Lexington and an audio recording by Tee Dee Young, a blues musician from Lexington.Residents of the TRAPPIST-1 star system won't receive the invitation until 2063.
According to The Washington Post (the article in question is here), "the Biden campaign on Saturday condemned Trump’s decision to sidestep" signing "a loyalty oath requested of candidates for election in Illinois that asks, among other things, to swear that they won’t support overthrowing the government." (Requested, not required, the piece points out.)
Who knew?
According to the Post, the oath dates back to the McCarthy era of the 1950s and "remains enshrined in Illinois law" even though it's been ruled unconstitutional by federal courts.
The paper helpfully notes "other candidates, including President Biden and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), filed signed oaths along with their petitions, according to the local media reports."
Naturally, five Illinois residents have already petitioned the State to remove Trump's name from this year's Republican primary ballot.
(No word on whether any of the five are Republicans, or whether Trump's name is even on the ballot at this point…but hey, it's 2024.)
Air Force Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said the White House and the Joint Chiefs of Staff were notified about Austin’s hospitalization, but he would not confirm when that notice happened.
Look, it's not like…
…or maybe it is.
