As much as that is preferable, that's not the Federal holiday. As noted below, there is nothing listed for Oct 14.

 

I have the "HOLIDAYS" calendar loaded for the US in the Proton Calendar app but Oct 14, Columbus Day isn't included. I know it's a contentious "holiday" but it's still listed as a Federal Holiday and should be included.

They can last a while in there. I used my shop vac for spotted lantern flies. They didn't die.

 

Whoever stole the shop vac is in for a very big surprise.

No one else heard it so, doesn't tick the boxes.

It's not "finders keepers". In this case, the owner was identifiable. There are laws in most states that require you report found valuables or cash and make an effort to find the owner. It's at least a misdemeanor if you don't.

Ha. I thought the same thing. Dogs don’t like “spa day”.

The state wants to ban all mention of gender and sexuality in schools because they don’t think children need to learn about that (even though that’s real life). Sexual and gender issues are a necessary part of the AP psych curriculum, therefore, teachers cannot teach the complete course without facing legal ramifications. The state has failed to clarify this so nothing has been resolved.

It really is infantilizing kids of high school age to make them deliberately ignorant (and therefore reject) people who have different preferences. It’s horrific and is doomed to fail. The real world has a way of catching up.

I looked at the webpage for the event and it looks very much like a tourist draw. Nothing they are doing has any scientific merit. Honestly, believers need to give up trying to find a singular nonexistent monster. That loch has been searched thoroughly.

I'm on Bluesky. It's vapid. Boring. I forget about it, check it once a week and nothing happens except people make a huge deal about cancelling someone. Not worth the hype at all.

OOPS! My bad. When I added the photo for the post, it deleted the news link. Now fixed. Video is available at the link. Sorry.
