Saturday there is a Native Plant Swap in Huntsville at Blevins Gap 1p-4p. If you have something to trade, but if not, that’s okay too! This is a great way to get involved with native plants. Whether you want something pretty or you want plants to attract butterflies, there will be plants and lots of seeds!

We’re throwing pumpkins off the roof in the name of science.

Our next adults-only Friday Night Science at WaterWorks in Hartselle is Myth?Busted.

We’re going to learn about the biology and physics that help squirrels survive falling out of trees, then put that knowledge to work. Everyone will engineer a way to help their pumpkin survive the fall, whether that means modifying the pumpkin, building a landing system, or a little of both.

Then we head outside and put the designs to the test from the roof.

November 6 | 7–9 pm | $25 | 18+

No science background needed. Come with a friend, make it a date night, or come solo. We’ve had a really fun community start to form around these events, and newcomers are always welcome.

Registration is open at waterworksedu.org/fridaynightscience

Hey all, I'm looking for a local and (relatively) cheap driving instructor to get me back into the swing of things behind the wheel. Would love any recommendations.

Looking for recommendations for a cat groomer. Emphasis on cat, not dog. Cat groomers are few and far between. My little guy is a 10 year old Persian and can be a handful. I’m especially hesitant to trim his claws, mostly due to lack of experience. I usually get the Veterinarian to handle that when he’s in for an exam. Thanks.

I guess this is kinda news. I went in today to pick up my mobile drink order at Starbucks on 6th and saw the letter on the door that they are one of the locations affected in the closure of 250 stores this week. I didn't read the whole letter, but the barista told me today is their last day. I hate that for them mainly but I also live really close to that one. I asked the barista if SB was helping them out by letting them transfer or something. She said they still haven't been told anything yet, which I imagine is pretty stressful and seems pretty dicky. I guess back to Scooters for me if I want something really close. Has that SB location even been open a year yet?

This came up elsewhere in discussion in the sub and I hadn't realized how recently the gunman lost what I believe was his last appeal. This is a tragedy of compounded stupidity and errors.

My personal worldview has shifted drastically since the crime occurred and I can't help but look at all the progress that hasn't been made in terms of creating ground level solutions and preventative measures. Guns are still readily available in this city to anyone who wants one. Venues for children to learn and grow are as limited as ever. Safe, public, and free recreation venues are increasingly diminished (the aquadome, tc almon (basketball is an extremely low cost of entry sport. Up to ten players require but a single ball and a hoop. Not like the millions of dollars spent on pickleball courts and upgrades where every single person who wants to play needs specialized equipment)). And educational opportunities are being curtailed in favor of workforce pipeline training (community academies of decatur. Creating trained bodies with zero understanding of civics, morality, ethics, history, philosophy, or even literacy)

Anyway. Sorry for rambling on a weird blog post. I know there's some true crime junkies here that may have had this drop off their radars. But here's the exciting conclusion.

Was in town last week visiting the family and stopped in on Saturday morning. Truly fantastic apple fritter. The spicy hot dog bun was incredible, as it had a good kick and a cheesy hot dog.

Also, not sure what it’s called, but they had this yeasted round cinnamon glazed donut with notched sides that I wish I had right now.

The lady running the place was so sweet and even through in a few donut holes on the house!

Give it a whirl if you haven’t gotten a chance.
