I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

During extreme heat, it’s important to know where you can go to cool off and stay hydrated - especially if your home loses power or doesn’t have air conditioning. 😎 ☀️ Use our "Get Cool & Get Hydrated Map" to find water fountains, air conditioning, shade & more. 💧 💦 www.cambridgema.gov/heat
