Today I learned that the SS Arthur M Anderson, the last ship in contact with the SS Edmund Fitzgerald before she sank on November 10, 1975... and the first ship to search in vain for survivors... is 73 years old and it was hauling freight on the Great Lakes in 2024. Blew my mind.

Nancy Pelosi is retiring.
It's a sign of their intelligence when a politician sees it's time to walk away from a position of power and make room for younger generations to take over.
I hope some of the other octogenarians in Congress follow her suit. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

A US Drug Enforcement Administration agent said the DEA made “high-level arrests” of 171 Sinaloa Cartel members across New England in August.
A Globe investigation found that many of the DEA’s targets were addicts, low-level dealers, shoplifters, and homeless people.

There's road work being done in my neighborhood and there's an unattended excavator running in front of my friend's yard. I took a pic of it and texted her "Can I borrow your new vehicle?" 2 secs later, the foreman comes flying down the road, "don't shut it off its charging batteries."
