Wildfires can devastate communities. They threaten homes, wildlife and the environment while adding pressure to our emergency services. In this dry weather, please keep sparks, cigarettes and anything hot well away from dry grass.

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea? 139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea. A 🧵

Among my regular passengers on the 44 are two young boys who ride with their grandma from California and 6th Ave all the way to Silver and Palou. The older brother is possibly a 2nd grader. Last night as they were getting off my bus, he handed me this hand made envelope.

There once was a time that you didn’t yet realize you had hands. It’s a funny thought, but 100% true. In fact it’s not until somewhere between 2-4 months of age that babies fully “discover” their hands. (Thread 🧵)

Courtesy of today’s @sltrib.com and @elimccann.bsky.social A lovely story.❤️
An article in the SL Tribune written by Eli McCann. Titled, “My Mormonism  grand finale came in an island paradise with a youth group I’ll never forget.”

Next to the title are two photos, one above the other. Top photo shows Eli amongst a group of his congregants of Latter Day Saints. Additionally, there are about 15 youth pictured with Eli and three of his LDS colleagues.

Photo under that one is of Palau from his apartment. It shows a dusk sky, ocean and lush vegetation.

The author talks of his time on the small island in this church “calling”.
