Something very, very similar happened in Brooklyn about 15 years ago.

I’m sure these ERs are overwhelmed, and I wonder if the article omits a history of this woman showing up there with non-issues, but, whoa, the police?

This seems like an exceptionally grim story. A woman, with a history of stroke, goes to an ER for care. She’s given the bare minimum to get her back on the street. She feels the care was inadequate so she advocated for herself. Instead of calling a social worker, the hospital calls the cops. Everyone ignores her claim that she can’t breathe. She has another stroke in the police cruiser. This is fucked up.

Is it? I’d be surprised.

Seriously. I would be like, “No, please just plant a tree in my name.”

I always wonder about that. I didn’t have any experience with the parkway until it was renamed, so for me, it’s always been “the Jackie.”

It’s similar to the Tappan Zee. There’s no way I’m calling it the “Mario Cuomo.”

Well, I’m not so sure about that, but I do have a certain nostalgia for chicken fingers, pork fried rice, and beef teriyaki sticks.

I think the era of overly large lounge-type “pan Asian” restaurants has come and gone. Not sure that’s a good thing. I do love good New England-style Chinese food every so often.

Wow, haven’t thought of the Hu-ke-lau in a looooong time! Is it still there?

Yeah, I remember it being advertised in the 90s. Is it just as skanky as it used to be?

I was going to say Warwick, but I don’t know that side of the bay that well. I’m gathering West Warwick is Warwick’s white-trash cousin?

So, in other words, possibly.

Thanks for sharing this. It’s good to be informed.

How many of those posting on Telegram are NYPD?

Thank you!

What is clay? I’m new to all this.

Wood VENEER countertop?? I guess it’s not much different than the Formica we used to have, but we always had to be very careful with the surface.

It’s only February. Any Masshole knows it’s winter here until May.

I had a bunch of these for the Mount Hope Bridge.

The new waves are ripples. I want the Rhode Island tsunami!

This is beautiful!

I grew up looking at Mt. Tom from the south, so this painting is reversed for me. :-)

TBF, I’ve always liked RI’s motto.

I really don’t like those new plates. What was wrong with the wave?

If I give people directions on the subway and we’re in the same car, I always make sure they know how many more stops they have, and how they know when their stop is coming up. Especially if I can see they’re from out of town. The MTA can be overwhelming.

I didn’t know that there were DIY kits!

I feel like this idea, of later start times for HS students, has been kicking around since I was in high school in the 80s-90s, and never gains traction.

Superb Owl Sunday!
