    Yea gonna need more info on that. Was there any reason? Road rage? Or did they just randomly shoot? I’ve always had an irrational fear of being shot while I’m at a red light or driving.

    "The Birmingham Police Department says it appears the victims were targeted, and the gunman is still on the loose."

    I have that same fear driving down the interstate - random DC-Sniper-style shootings. At least this appears targeted.

    If she does I wonder if other municipalities try to keep theirs like Bham and Jeff Co did at the beginning

    As if going mask free isn't enough, HB1/SB10 makes me so sad. This state is fucking garbage.

    I'm admittedly ignorant on the finer points of trans medical care, but the bill seems to be insane government overreach. It it were bad medicine, leave that up to the doctors for enforcement.

    There's absolutely no scenario where the child, the parents, and the numerous medical professionals involved need input from the state of alabama about what is and isn't appropriate care. It's hate and bigotry pure and simple.

    I was at first, but honestly, she's pretty well followed the advice of the doctors all the way through this and generally ignored political pressures put on her.

    Yep. I feel like I’ve said “pleasantly surprised” a few times over the past year concerning her decisions. Could have been worse (looking at you, TX and GA). Would love more efficient vaccine distribution, but I’ll take what I can get.

    I just finished watching this program after listening to Bill Burr comment on it on the MM podcast and I'm so glad I did. This is the highest and best use of original programming/television/streaming content or whatever this medium is classified as.

    I saw Maylene once at a warehouse in Homewood. I don’t think I’ve ever been more covered in other men’s sweat than that night.

    I know a gentlemen named Santos who is loosely affiliated with Leaf & Petal. He came and completely re-landscaped our beds with his wife in one afternoon. Was pretty amazing.

    He also does sod, sprinkler systems, paved patios/walkways, etc. I’m quite sure he could handle a French drain as well. I’ll try to find his contact info for you if you want it.
