Paul Morris who runs DMC attended a MATA meeting yesterday and tweeted that trolleys will be back on Main Street by September… well, sort of. They will be rubber-wheeled trolleys. MATA does intend to bring back steel-wheeled trolleys, but that will be a longer-term project.
Front Street between Huling and G.E. Patterson will be closed for the next five days. There is some sewer work that needs to be done in the area. Detour signs will direct drivers to an alternate route.
In case you missed it: I made a post last night about Crazy Good Ghost Pepper Sauce on a monster burrito from Bardog. While I was waiting to pick up my burrito, the manager came over and told me that people have begun to order duck farts at his bar. The craze continues to spread! Come be part of the duck fart revolution. DUCK FARTS!

Plans for tonight: Wedding after-party that is going to go late, late, late into the night. Pam & Terry and D-RANKS with B-RAD at the Blind Bear, and a stop at the Silly Goose too and possibly other places. I have tomorrow off and this will not be an early night to bed for me. I plan to have a news post tomorrow but I will not be operating on any kind of a schedule. Will get it online when I can.
