""When I heard about it, I called Jerry and asked if he would come help us out," Mount Pleasant Mayor Will Haynie told CNN. "After he looked it over, he said, 'There's your problem right there. It's backed up because you have one person checking people in.' Then he showed us how to do it right.""

They needed a professional for that, huh. 😛

I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

About the same as private sector, really.  Just thought it funny the example they gave.  Maybe it was just a glorified Chick Fil A commercial though... 😛

Shaquille O'Neal pays for a stranger's engagement ring

Maybe he couldn't hit a free throw but Shaq is a good dude. This is not the first story I've seen where he's done something like this. Not the second  or the third either.

Good news for trees. Or good tree news:

Eighteen million trees to be planted around Glasgow

Ghana planted 5 million trees in a single day to combat deforestation and climate change

South Korea to Plant 3 Billion Trees to Help Reach Carbon Neutrality by 2050

Plus three years ago I planted three Bartlett Pear trees in my back yard. They are still too young for fruit but they are all in full bloom now, Very pretty!

In honor of River the inspiration for Dogmeat 4, Xbox and Bethesda have donated $10,000 to the Montgomery county Humane Society

there have also been a number of tributes on the Nexus page. I like the one that puts a statue at the red rocket where are you first meet Dogmeat. River was one mans dog. But in a way she had millions of friends she never met.
