Edward Lehner, Who Made Dog Owners Pick ‘It’ Up, Dies at 93

From the free article:

"Before the passage of Public Health Law 1310, as it was officially known, New York City was a minefield of dog dirt. On the sidewalks, in the streets, around the parks — negotiating the city was a harrowing exercise in feces avoidance. Or not. Sometimes, Justice Lehner said in a 2015 oral history interview for the New York Public Library, “you would come home and have it all over you.”

I was a child before it passed and I bet the author had experienced it too because "minefield" is the best word to describe what it was like walking on certain sidewalks.

Mistaken Username Sent Man to Prison for 18 Months, Court Finds

“Once it became clear that the conviction was based on incorrect evidence,” she said, prosecutors “provided the resulting information to the court, supported its admission as fresh evidence, conceded that the appeal should be allowed, and asked the court to enter an acquittal.”

They must do things differently in Canada. If this were the U.S. the prosecutors would say something along the lines of: We stand by our work, this pervert is guilty as hell and should spend the rest of his life paying for his crimes.

Pretty Chocolate Eastern Milk Snake also found on a trail near Buttermilk Falls!

Found this guy under a rock while walking some trails, yes I decided to pick it up, it was very chill it didnt show any signs of it being stressed out such as musking or biting, if you do not support people picking up snakes that’s fine, I’m just sharing what I think is cool and it doesn’t hurt the snake in anyway unless you hold by the tail or head, I’ve been herping since I was 5, and yes I make mistakes but I learn from them. Herping is a hobby that many people do.
