Oh - these were the three friends found dead after being missing two days. And the homeowner didn't know that they were in his backyard.

It was strange for sure, particularly as there was no obvious cause of death when they were found. I mean, if three people show up dead together in a backyard, that's going to make the news.

I have casually considered attending a UU church near us. They seem very chill based on their website.

I would have to overcome my dislike of meeting new people and being awake and fully clothed before 11:00am on a Sunday. Those are the main challenges for me, personally.

I'm hoping to attend some public events at the a local nature preserve as a way of easing into social events with strangers. They have programs on bird watching, mushroom cultivation, etc... A year's membership cost $40 and it comes with free parking and free access to their programs. They're also part of a larger network of nature parks, so benefits include free admission to any of those.

On the other hand, it's a really bad idea to be locked into a single source for your raw materials. It sounds like Tran was trying to mitigate that risk in a fairly reasonable way. If he can buy and sell from other farmers, there's a buffer if the OG farm can't deliver. And he could also continue to use the OG farm as primary supplier, while selling off excess chilis to other producers.

All of this is why supply contracts and backup supply chain plans exist. Risk mitigation is normal. Like they said near the end of the article, businesses sometimes need to have an adult in the room.

Oh, Glen Helen is lovely I've always heard that the raptor center does really good work with rehabilitation. Hope they can find and return her to her nest with as little disruption as possible.

If it came down to figuring out the three dodecahedrons or using the communal sponge on a stick, I'd take the risk with the dodecahedrons.

Perfection.

This feels like it needs a Far Side caption. "Honey, I'm going hunting with Thag from the Cave Bear clan. Where did you put the good crystal?"

Joking aside, this must have been quite a treasure.

No, they don't cause damage on their own. Birds get a windfall of big nutritious bugs. Humans might be a little creeped out.

Why would a Milwaukee county DA be enforcing zoning laws in Bryan, Ohio?

Do you have an unusual or oddly spelled surname?

I do. It's by marriage, and coworkers sometimes awkwardly ask about it. It won't be the first question they ask - because that would be weird, but it often comes up if it sort of fits the conversation.

I think Duncan was supposed to be the attractive one... leading to his weird immortal future as a resurrecting ghola so he could keep impregnating people?

The whole thing is bonkers. And I don't mean that in a bad way.

Personally, I think that the original Lynch Dune did a lot to set the tone for sets and costumes for the next 25 years. And it was better than it gets credit for. Jodorowsky... yeah I've seen the drawings.
