During the final hours of the state's budget negotiations, a critical bill drafting system went offline. We still don't have an explanation of exactly what happened.

From Roaring Camp, a social history of the gold rush. Evidence of homosocial behavior:

Gas company came to swap out my 70 year old meter, which has been covered by a large metal box for all of my 23 years owning the house, with a hole for reading.
Guess what black iron gas pipes mostly exposed to the elements do for 70 years? Yes,rust. The tech had to call in a special team to remove and replace the valve on their side of the meter, which had become one with the feed line. (1/2)…

It isn't our house btw, just a beautiful one in the village to give you an…

Wow, what a historical treat! While walking through midtown Manhattan today, I found this revolutionary era #ulock. After the Sons of Liberty toppled the statue of George III in Bowling Green, they raced uptown on their fixies. One of them must have locked up here. Truly amazing. #BikeTooter
