Back when you could cross the border with nothing more than a driver's license, we would drive to Windsor, Ontario and drink in bars. I remember us stopping somewhere for gas in Windsor at a place that also sold fake IDs, and sure enough Natalie Emcard was among the IDs featured in a display.

Yousef Rabhi, candidate for #a2council mayor, alleges that the current mayor is only fixing the roads downtown because it's an election year. What in the actual fuck are you talking about, man? www.wemu.org/wemu-news/20...

Yousef Rabhi: I'd say it's deferred maintenance. You have a situation here where my understanding is that Taylor basically instructed his team at the city that this was the year that they were going to put a lot of shovels in the ground, put a lot of cones out. And unfortunately, it's an election. I mean, the timing is that it's an election year. He wanted to show that there's a lot investment happening, but why wasn't this investment happening before this time? Why wasn't investment happening in our community to fix our roads leading up to this moment? And the reality is, is I voted for the countywide roads millage, which supercharged the ability of our local communities. Ann Arbor gets a direct allocation from Washtenaw County to fix the roads. And so, we should be seeing a lot of these projects. We should have been seeing a lots of these projects in the pipeline already to repair the roads. But the other thing I want to say too is there is a problem that we have at the city, where a lot city dollars that should be going to City Hall to actually fix the roads and provide other services are being captured by other entities.

Sometimes I worry that I’m not legible, and then a random nonbinary lesbian on the street checks me out so hard their eyes pop out of their skull. Happy pride?

Gay or not, Scott clearly is inexperienced with caring for bottoms. But when the restaurant is packed, Scott pivots and invites Kip back to his place to order takeout — a move so smooth I wonder if he knew it would be impossible to get a table. While all signs have been pointing in this direction, it's only once they arrive at Scott's apartment that we finally get proof that he is, in fact, gay: There is no overhead lighting.

As promised, Tim put away his summer wardrobe. This week he's wearing a delightful purple/olive green combo. While I actually love this lewk, I think the red pocket square is distracting. Lose the pocket square, and this would be top tier Timmy.

What I find so troubling about this is that it's such an easy thing to get wrong but also an easy thing to double check (and get right!) that most people probably wouldn't do so. It's not "put glue on your pizza" or "eat one small rock per day" level stupidly wrong, so you might just go with it.

On Monday night we went for a walk, and I found a reminder of the last time we defeated the #a2council NIMBY BANANA faction. This was still glued to a light post at Huron & 7th. It came off in a big chunk like a crispy scab, and I allowed myself to joke about it as an omen of victory.
