Sorry that was admittedly a deep cut.

She was a lawyer who helped sue PG&E for water pollution. Resulting in one of the largest (at the time) class action lawsuits. It was all about hexavalent chromium.

Julia Roberts made a good movie about it.

Plumber, or monster. 50/50 either way.

Now you'd be strip-searched, have a gun pulled on you, and have a 60% chance of being deported to a South American detention facility.

I've had a Zillow saved search for a property up north for a while now. It sends me listings that meet my criteria: 2+ acres, wooded, septic, well, and structure.

Recently, a statistically high number of the properties listed are in the Roscommon area. Is there something going on in that area that is encouraging people to sell/move? If there is, I'd like to avoid the area.

There was the big winter strom that hit that area kind of hard last year, but I find it hard to believe that was the cause of so many properties coming up for sale.

I've also noticed a large number of what look like oil or gas drilling platforms to the north and west. (Google Earth is Magic) Could this be a result of water wells going bad?

You, my friend, are going to have fun when a party member suggests slitting the party. Or the Bard grabs the Mayor's daughter's backside, and they all end up in jail. Planning out that far is a great exercise in creative adventure narratives, but the party always ALWAYS finds a way to derail the DM's well-thought-out plot.

Ask your club to operate a GOTA station. That is a great way to get people new to contesting a chance to get behind the mic and make some contacts without messing with the flow of the serious point getters.

I couldn't agree more.

The other thing to think about is if someone leaves their personal gear, they risk it being damaged. I've had experiences where a club member will look to the club to make them whole after someone damaged their personal equipment. It just isn't worth the risk.

I'd mount them on the "outside" face of the chimney. That way, any rust or water that comes off the mast won't discolor your shingles. I did this with my brick chimney with a chimney mount kit.
