This grassy field has always been a beautiful buffer between the river and the train tracks that service the local waste management company that owns it. This time of year, wildflowers and butterflies are everywhere and it’s one of the highlights on this part of the greenway.
This week, I’ve noticed it’s suddenly begun to accumulate vintage fire and rescue vehicles. I don’t know what to make of it, but I hope it’s temporary.
According to Medina, the agents told her to exit her home with her children. Standing in the driveway, they showed her a warrant for her husband, with his name listed as David Garcia.
As she explained that her husband’s name is Jorge and that he was not at the house, **one of the agents is captured on an outdoor home surveillance camera turning the device away from what was transpiring. **

This is commonly known as 'glue work', a term coined by Tanya Reilly.

Gotta drive 50km with my own car (and fuel) in my (would have been) free time because one of my colleagues used an insurance form in the truck but never replaced it.
So when I needed one (hit a wall at a customer while backing truck into the tight ass space without mirrors - sun kept blinding me), there was none so I now have to go back there to get the paperwork sorted...
Lovely...

My favorite historical mystery is “what really happened in the 6th century???”
We have few clues. We know there were at least 2 big eruptions in the 530s, most likely in Iceland, Kamchatka, or Alaska: nowhere with a surviving writing culture. Then a wave of Plague.

We will never have a comprehensive history of the “Dark Ages” because no one wrote the pieces.
