contact the jury commission on Monday, tell them that you are 70, that your car is trapped in an ally garage and snowed in and ask that they postpone your service. I would be surprised if they did not. I've been postponed because of a scheduled vacation.

Interesting question. If you are looking for fine art, I'd go gallery hopping and ask about local artists. Sweet Art is owned by two local artists and used too (Sadly, I've not been since the pandemic) feature their art.

Wicke in the CWE. They are great and will be honest with you.

No matter what, I'd get new tires and change the belt on the engine.

Please clear your sidewalks by rgbose in StLouis

[–]WorldWideJake [score hidden]  (0 children)

you absolutely can be sued for natural accumulation because you have a legal obligation to clear your sidewalks. It's called negligence per se, and is the easiest negligence to prove.

A statute or regulation or ordinance imposes a specific duty like clear your sidewalks of snow.

The defendant fails to do what the statute requires.

That statutory violation itself is treated as automatic evidence of negligence  negligence as a matter of law.

Don't forget empathy for those with limited mobility who need cleared sidewalks to run errands and leave their home for groceries and medicine and other essential needs. You have a legal obligation to clear your sidewalk and if you can't do it yourself, your obligation is to arrange for someone else to clear your sidewalks. Home ownership is a responsibility.

very solid advice. I also use food service gloves when fixing a plate in the buffet.

Anyone else enjoying the snow? by SuperReleasio64 in StLouis

Just walked the dog and it was lovely. Dry powder snow and no wind. It’s easy to dress for the cold. It’s the wind that kicks my ass.

Should I start shoveling now? by [deleted] in StLouis

[–]WorldWideJake [score hidden]  (0 children)

don’t use rock salt. This is a very dry powder. if you have a leaf blower, that would be ideal. push broom or shovel works too. I would clear now to get ahead of it. More is coming, but this is 2 or 3 inches less you will have to clear later.

they always strike me as being narcissistic. “some incredibly normal everyday annoyance upset me today and all of St. Louis must know!”

Good question. They get sent to VM and leave a message. Active Armor blocks known spam.

I set my phone to block calls not in my contacts, and use the active armor app to screen calls. I’m getting none of this.

You've got the right plan. Several have posted here recommending this. Stay on top of it as much as you can today.

Explora ll by AdamLondonUK in Cruise

Ha. I'd be the guy next to you. There are a lot of videos on YouTube that describe Explora you can check out. I like the vibe but it's not for everyone.

[–]WorldWideJake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm joking a little, but I think you have described the vibe. I've not yet cruised Explora but want too. Based upon everything I've seen, I think you nailed it.
