Suspicious black vehcile

Anyone come across a suspicious black vehicle? Possibly a Honda. Before this the individual inside the vehicle tried to give my mom something - read online its a way to distract to steal jewellery. The driver said take a paper for the kids(my kids were playing on the front yard). Then we saw the same vehicle parked at a stop sign but 2/3s infront of the stop sign.

Stay safe.

Bookshelf support guidance

Issue I'm having is I can't fit my drill into the space to add new holes. So I'm thinking of using blocking to support the bookshelves, I need help to find out if two support blocks is fine or should I place three?

Also, how much height for each block? Is 3/4" inch or should it be double the height of the bookshelf? And I will be screwing them in end to end.

Thank you.

Miter measurements for a planter

Making mistakes with miters.

I want the trim to sit flush on the inside box(wear my finger is pointing in image 2), therefore, I must measure the inside right? And also, I confused myself with wanting 1" overhang so when I measured from outside frame(legs are) I added the overhang for each side which is 2", everything became so off... So I did it wrong that means. It didn't align to the inside frame at all.

Any tips?
