Cable outage reported in West Lawrence
I can't remember the last cable outage I had. I had regular outages with satellite interferences. Funny how that works sometimes.

Satellite is great! err, until you have heavy rain, snow, high winds that whip the neighbors trees around and interrupt your signal, sun spots, etc. When you want to watch TV to check on severe weather, satellite doesn't cut it.

Dandelions
Roundup becomes inert when it comes in contact with the soil anyway so soaking the ground won't do anything. It needs to be sprayed directly on the weeds to get rid of them.

Lawrence police offering free course in hunting and firearms safety
I attended these classes last year with my son and it was very helpful. As stated in the article, the focus is on hunter safety which, of course, includes firearm safety. They stress the importance of knowing your target, treating all firearms as loaded, pointing the gun in a safe position, etc. It was extremely helpful. Nowhere mentioned is this intended to be a primer on how to clean your animal. This is a class focused on safety, not how to dress your game.

I heard it's mixed with runoff from the snow that melted from treated streets.

Sound Off: School bus
Realize that parents dropping off kids have just as much right to be in front of the school doing so as a bus does. If there are not adequate drop off locations at the school, this is a problem the school needs to address and fix.

New towing policy has addressed overcharging concerns, county official says
Don't know, Marco. I don't know how they are paid, per tow or per hour, but when they aren't driving the truck, I'm sure there is other work to be done around the business. I doubt they go back to the office and sit around playing cards. At any rate, if they are paid from the time they get in the truck to when they get back, Lawrence isn't a sprawling metropolis and doesn't take long to get from one side to the other and back.

New towing policy has addressed overcharging concerns, county official says
I'm aware of that. My point is, they do get to write off capital purchases as expenses or at least a large portion of them. It's not a matter of "getting it", I'm a college graduate and do understand income and expenses. Why is it many tow companies have no issues with $150.00 per tow but others do. I think they are the ones who "don't get it".

New towing policy has addressed overcharging concerns, county official says
I own my own trailer and tow vehicle, but yes, for those who don't, AAA is great.
