I really hope we don't know anything because he was a minor when he injured six cyclists, but I have no faith in the system when it comes to wealthy, well connected criminals.

My dad went to one of these schools and later worked for the same school. When they work well they really work well. The problem with his school was that they couldn't afford to pay anything like a living wage so the only adults who ended up working there were deeply religious and saw it as their mission from god to go help the kids.

For my dad as a child it was a lifesaver. He was in juvie and the school was an alternative. An adult recognized his intelligence and connected him to an outside mentor (a local author) who paid for my dad's college and provided him guidance he was not getting at home.

Wait til you go buy a turkey...

They did this in Maine during tourist season before Covid. It was really effective. People learned really quick how to use the passing lane properly

You're right. We should pass a bill to investigate and punish oil companies for price gouging.

Oh, wait, Republicans blocked that bill from being discussed in the Senate....

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is the greatest geopolitical crisis since the Vietnam war. We are right to send Ukraine the equipment and expertise that they need to defend themselves.

People who work at CVS hate CVS, too. They're always understaffed.

Good reporting, IMHO. No need to editorialize. We can all draw pretty reasonable conclusions about this.

It's sad, but much of the Deerfield River valley farm fields is committed to sod, which is more profitable than other crops.

I thought that's where you were. I bike there all the time!
