Honest question: why did Bolts - as so many other writers have - choose the term “crack down“ when writing about Trump and elections. To “crack down” is to ”to take positive regulatory or disciplinary action“ or to

Probably won’t mean much to many but I missed seeing @bradlaner.bsky.social’s Medicine with The Jesus & Mary Chain, Curve, and Spiritualized on the Rollercoaster Tour in 1992 because their bus broke down or something. One of my favorite bands and I never got the chance to see them again.

…and I’ve heard that Ohio’s Chagrin River (namesake of Chagrin Falls and Chagrin Valley) is an anglicized version of either “Shaguin” – to memorialize a French trader named Sieur de Saguin – or the Native American word “shagrin” meaning “clear water” (unverified).

I’m not a teacher but I’ve always thought you could make a pretty interesting curriculum based on a bridge or handful of bridges. The physics + engineering that made it possible. The changes in successive iterations as technology improved. The economic, political, and social changes it enabled, etc.

I saw them in store twice in one week around 1994, first in St. Louis and then Columbia MO. They were doing “Stump the Band” so I was prepared the second time and got picked to name the song (The Tide Is High). He asked if I was a musician because I guess it was too easy, but they played it anyway.
