For people who work with trees and wood in the zone: Thursday, July 8, 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Franklin Park Clubhouse, Circuit Drive, Franklin Park.

For residents: Tuesday, July 13, 6 to 8 p.m., same place.

Three-foot pythons, flaming manholes, and now wood-touching... something you need to talk about, man?

Hard to say

I've been juggling a lot of balls lately.

This map is probably a better guide than the perfect circle in the link above. My house is a block outside the perfect circle but a block inside the official perimeter.

no wood

no wood for you. So we are not allowed to move wood now. Shucks, how can I have a riot to protest when all I have is a wooden baseball bat. Seriously though, I see their intentions with this, but how many people are actually going to pay attention to this rule?
