Hi,

I'm considering a new KIA from the dealership in Williston. The sales department has been f'ing awful, it's almost as though they're going out of their way to NOT sell me a car.

Thankfully that relationship will end after I buy the car, but I wanted to see how people have found the service department to deal with. Warranty work, routine stuff, loaner cars, that sort of thing.

Thanks.

If you see this, I hope you know how much you made my day. Me - the heavily pregnant woman behind you who you bought a blackberry maple swirl for. You mustn’t have know that just moments before I was in the bathroom line almost tearing up because of how hard my evening (and just life in general) has been. How much I have struggled being this heavily pregnant and not knowing when I’ll get to meet my baby. How hard the future unknown has been for me mentally. You mustn’t have known that I was alone at the waterfront because my partner and I had just gotten in a massive argument and I left the house to do something nice for myself. All iv wanted all week was someone to watch the sunset with at the waterfront. This evening I decided to just go alone. Instead of showering you with my woes, I simply told you I would pass it along, which I absolutely will do. I can’t thank you enough for showing me such an impactful but small gesture of kindness.

Kindness goes such a long way and you never know what someone is going through. I aspire to be like you. Somehow sensing when someone is really going through it, and being able to make a small difference that brings happiness to their life. Thanks again for making my day ❤️

To the guy I blasted with my horn at the intersection of Pine and Main about 10 minutes ago, i’m sorry. I was so convinced that I was in the correct lane to go through that intersection that I circled back around the block to look for signage and when I found out that I was the one in the wrong, well, I feel like a complete dick. I’m sorry I flipped you off.

I’m really hoping that place getting renovations on the corner of Howard, and Saint Paul in the south end is gonna be a bodega type corner store the south end could use that.

A couple of stuffy nights recently and I’m tempted, but looks like we still have some nighttime temps under 50 coming later this week. What are y’all doing?

Burlington leadership is an absolute joke. They let people pitch tents and pretty much camp wherever whenever unless there’s an event. Drove by battery Park today and see that they’re in there cleaning up tents and getting people out of there because oh wait the marathon is this weekend and they don’t want people to see what’s really going on in our city. What a joke!

Has anyone come across this bioluminescent wonder in the wild? Was not aware of fox fire until this weekend when we stumbled upon 'glow in the dark' forest floor during a late night wander in the woods.

Curious where its most likely found, if it can be propagated, or how common it is around here.

Cool stuff.

Interweb:

Foxfire, also called fairy fire and chimpanzee fire, is the bioluminescence created by some species of fungi present in decaying wood. The bluish-green glow is attributed to a luciferase, an oxidative enzyme, which emits light as it reacts with a luciferin. The phenomenon has been known since ancient times, with its source determined in 1823.

Thinking of trying to start a neurospicy peer group where ND folks can get together and share what works for them or what they’re struggling with and get feedback from others who get it

Just found a drowned dog in the lake in Colchester. No tags. Anyone know of any missing dogs or how I might go about finding the owner?

UPDATE: Colchester ACO came and got it. Matched the description of a known missing dog.
