Three killed at a supervisors meeting in saylorsburg. Few more shot. Apparently one of the attendees slammed the gunman down and shot him with the gun he was using.

We do not tip them.


I used to mow a few neighborhood yards back in the 80s. I got 10 bucks then, and no tip. 10 bucks would be enough to buy a tank of gas, and the yard wasn't that big. I'd say you're underpaying, but I was probably over paid.

we definitely are, but that's what they asked us for. the first time they came by, our yard was a mess. grass was like 2 ft long since the landlord decided not to mow the lawn before we moved in. we paid them $50 that time.

We occasionally have people who appear to be drug addicts offer to mow our lawn. I normally just turn them down. But one time, I got so far as to ask what he'd charge. He said something along the lines of "whatever you think is good". So, not only was he a junky, he was a terrible negotiator. I ended up doing the lawn myself anyway.

I would usually be mad about how loud my upstairs neighbor is, but I just can't help but admire that the guy has apparently built a bowling alley up there.

around 12:20, I went into the one bathroom to take a poop. there was a guy in the stall, feet facing forward, not making a sound. I thought this was a little weird but I just peed and left. just went back in again (~1:05) and the same guy (leather loafers with no socks, so kind of memorable) is still in there, still facing forward, still not making a sound. that's weird, right?
