Good morning! Here’s a quick thread of snow shoveling tips from a middle aged dude:

1) Treat it like a workout.

Would you roll out of bed dehydrated, with cold, tight muscles, and immediately start doing loaded reps? No you would not. That’s a recipe for injury.

Warm up. Stretch. Hydrate.

Nice of city officials and IMPD to finally wake up and take notice to what the public has been screaming about for 5+ years now: IMPD’s refusal to do traffic enforcement combined with our overbuilt infrastructure have made our streets unsafe.

I assume the pedestrian hit and run on Zionsville Rd was between 71st and 96th streets. Scores of businesses and at least a dozen #IndyGo stops but that entire 3 mile stretch has only 0.2 miles of sidewalk (and that fragment is only on one side of the street). Shameful.

My kids have been wanting to go to waffle house, and I finally took them.
The waitress was telling everyone they aren't seating and it was to-go only.
We ordered to-go and now like two large groups of dance teams have come in and the cook is repeatedly yelling HELL NAW
The full real experience.

You need to scream profanities into the internet tubes at a politician who won't hear you or you're not doing activism right.
