Just a Covid-era mom seeing her worst pandemic predictions coming true. I tweet about Ann Arbor, public schools and the dangers of replacing caring human teachers with zoom and for-profit tech companies. Opinions are my own. #a2schoolboard #a2schools
Yeah, corner lots are a little more work, but you know that when you buy your home, right? It’s not like you wake up one winter morning and go “oh my god, it snows in Michigan!”

I get embarrassed when I look out my window and see my neighbor in his 70s shoveling his walk before I’ve shoveled mine.

Yeah, this is neglectful stupidity. If you shovel right away, it is an easy job that takes less than 15 minutes to clear the public sidewalk. If you wait and let it ice from being walked on, you’ve made your task a half hour struggle.

I was just going to ask if roundabouts would help and I see you are already thinking the same. Is it any better when Miller is open or about the same?

Got it. That is frustrating. And yes, ticket the landlords and realtors who should be budgeting for prompt snow removal. Grace for families with littles and the elderly or disabled.

And I mean, not you personally cause you have little kids, but the other neighbors on the street. I always shovel the walk for a neighbor if I know they are juggling little kids and have been slow to shovel one day … and they get me back the next snowy day.

Honestly, this doesn’t reflect well on Burnes Park. My neighborhood, Abbot school, seems to have fewer issues. On my street, we know our neighbors, and if someone is out of town, you just shovel and salt their walk for them knowing they will get you back next time the situation is reversed.

Thank you! I hate the one on my street. It is just a useless message at this point. I’m so glad the city is doing this, and I hope the posts can be recycled for something better.

Running to look up the age of the property owner online. Yup, just as I suspected.

Hey, I’m so sorry, I was away for a bit and missed your message. No group dedicated to AI and in fact, the district is all in for adding AI to education. It is like how we pushed “day of code” on kids a decade ago but predicted the future all wrong. I can track down the presentation to the board.

They should have held the line and demanded private jet flights be cancelled before commercial flights.

For the team … and for the middle aged women fans. 😍

Nope. Some other poor kid went to Vietnam in his place.

I’m watching from home as a Lions fan, but this was unwatchable. I get that the Commanders have almost lost, but their fans deserve to watch their drive and not just the 🍊 🤡 in chief yap. Even Trump is telling them to watch the game, not just interview him.
