In PA you literally get working papers at your high school. And, as I vaguely remember it, it was in part an exercise in learning the rules, so if your employer violated them you knew. But now in AR there will be no moment when either employer or employee or employee’s parent is reminded of the rules. That’s not going to end well.

my sister lives near 4th and ritner and saw a black cat near her house this morning. she was wondering if she should feed him. if she sees him again i’ll let you know! i hope it is spooky and you can be reunited!

edit: she said he had no collar but was very meow-y. he could have slipped the collar though?

I mean I work in the NE so I see it every day. Mayfair, Somerton and Bustleton are all booming with construction activity. Same with Germantown. In fact Mayfair has had such insane population growth over the last 10 years they had to open a new elementary school.
