Serious discord in this household of Bills and Raiders fan. One person’s joy is another’s dismay.

Good advice. I tackled the first tranche just as the snow-to-sleet phase began. Super light and fluffy!

We had so much fun making these Sopranos-themed raspberry sugar cookies for son’s friend’s birthday party. DD did a great job with the Bada Bing sign. #cookieparty

Nearly empty table after the party. Good thing we always have reserves that don’t make it onto the table

First time painting sugar cookies with gel food coloring and vodka. Started with a royal icing coating. The acorn bottoms were brown royal icing, caps were painted. I’m no artist but this is a good result for me. #cookieparty

Oh i thought this was a Soundgarden-Rush mashup

In the constellation of Cygnus
There lurks a mysterious, invisible force
The Black Hole of Cygnus X-1
Six stars of the northern cross
In mourning for their sister's loss
In a final flash of glory
Nevermore to grace the night

CSB may cede the site to law enforcement at first but its authority to investigate is not secondary to any other agency.

15.11.2025 03:12 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 1 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Different purposes, not either/or.
CSB regularly investigates same incidents as EPA, OSHA, etc. but does its own thing. ATF was there to make the scene safe and investigate potential criminal activity. CSB investigations not regulatory or compliance focused.

I’m not. It would have been unthinkable not to deploy with this many casualties.
