Tip #3 especially ... if you see a clogged curbside storm drain cover, unclog it! Heck, just kick away the leaves if you're passing by on foot. It makes a difference.

A woman recently went viral for holding up a window sign during a traffic stop, part of a growing trend of drivers using cards to assert their rights instead of speaking to police.

St. Paul cops doing the Stasi thing.
So brave in their tactical gear, braving the well-informed homeowner.
That would have been an interesting arrest and breach of rights. I can hear the judge reading off a litany of constitutional infringements, and then, imagine the ensuing civil suit.

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”
“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

Very sad to hear, I got to tag along on assignment with Colleen as a j-school intern at CBC, and she was happy to have me along, with lots of helpful tips. She also helped schlep camera gear, a team player all the way. We met lots after that, but I always remember her kindness to this student.
This is sad news. She was always so lovely and kind to me when we'd meet at events.

I recall Udo was filming something in Nova Scotia, and a friend ran into him at Park Lane Mall. I've rarely been so insanely jealous, one of my all-time fave character actors. Wish I'd met him to tell him how much I've loved his work.
We’re crushed to hear the news that the great Udo Kier has passed at the age of 81. As iconic as he was prolific, Kier’s contributions to the genre span nearly 300 screen credits, from BLOOD FOR DRACULA to BACURAU and beyond. Our condolences go out to his friends, family and legions of fans.
