I’m looking for resources in New York State, Erie County and/or specifically re senior next level care such as independent living and/or assisted living facilities, what options for those with minimal income and assets. Are there good sites or orgs I could reach out to, to do some research? 85-year-old relative unlikely to be able to return to their apartment to live on their own.

A few days ago I went to see “Hades Town”. My first foray into Broadway shows. Spectacular set, lighting, production, singing, etc. I struggled to understand it all (I am terrible picking out lyrics), but didn’t matter most of the time. Was surprised ’s Ani Difranco was in it, that’s how disconnected I am.

@cassey @aardrian also hadestown is one of my favorite musicals - so glad you enjoyed it, adrian!

@ben
Given how few I have seen, it is now one of my favorites too! It was such a good production that I suspect it will stay that way.

Local BBQ fusion joint, Southern Junction, gets some nice national press:

Reflected in local press:

(Used to be a regular lunch visit for me in its first location.)

Somewhat local maple shack / pancake house, Cartwright’s Maple Tree Inn, also gets national press:

(Visited a different pancake joint on my Maple Sunday run a couple weekends ago, but have enjoyed this one.)

@aardrian Be curious to ask my manager, who grew up there, what she thinks of the place. We once talked about Ted's Hot Dogs since I'd been to the one location in the Phoenix area a few times when I lived there. So good.

@aardrian@toot.cafe avatar

@jyarbrough I also enjoy the occasional Ted’s dog. It helps that the nearest one is almost around the corner.

Updated well . I switched instances today upon learning that MastodonBooks will be shutting down in June. Thank you @RogerRemacle for giving us all plenty of notice to migrate our accounts. I'm a husband, dad, and living in the NY suburbs, and root for all my local teams. I enjoy reading, and started because I wanted to create the kinds of stories I'd enjoy to read. Nice to meet you all

I am sad that Remedy House in has abruptly gone away:

I stopped by today and just gone.

It was a nifty cafe with a nifty shape and nifty options on a nifty corner.

I am not sure I trust the owners that they have a buyer.

For all the people following the demise of one of my favorite local cafes, Remedy House re-opened on Thursday:

I confirmed on Friday and again this morning.

Kept all the good bits.

I had driven by this giant buffalo statue in #JamestownND a thousand times, but finally decided to stop and photograph it. I was surprised at how tall and anatomically correct it is. North Dakota's politicians could use a set of balls like these.

During the national news programs they sometimes cut away for local weather.

My local weather reports an incoming Java update. Which I suppose is better than snow.

rshig,

@aardrian although, the more I think about it, I'd pretty happily accept an ice age if it meant Oracle went away forever...

aardrian,
@aardrian@toot.cafe avatar

@rshig Considering “ice age” implies temporary compared to the permanent absence of Oracle, I can get on board with that.

~5" (~13cm) of snow in North / Kenmore and a band has just moved back over (was sunny ~15 minutes ago, first pic) on its way south. 22mph (35kph) wind with 50mph (81kph) gusts plus ongoing snowfall means I have an excuse not to shovel for a few hours.

Looking at the base of the tree over some shrubbery with a layer of snow on everything, snow flakes streaking horizontally past the window, gray skies in the background.

Lake effect snow event in Buffalo, New York. The last time this happened resulted in multiple fatalities, people trapped in cars, and finding people frozen to death on the street.

ke7zum,

@ai6yr I think I remember that snow storm, was that not in 2022? That was scarry.

ai6yr,
@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org avatar

@ke7zum Yes. The snow came down so hard, so fast, people walking down the street were unable to find their way home and froze to death in snowbanks. Cars were stuck in the middle of the street, and people froze to death in their cars even as there were homes steps outside. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather/deadly-blizzard-killed-57-still-wreaking-havoc-us-rcna63301

Snow is finally starting to fall (but in 30 mph winds with 50 mph gusts, less falling and more sweeping). So I decided to get some baking supplies. The stores are all packed. Plenty of produce, canned goods, and shelf stable food. But all the football snacks have been cleared out. Ah, .

ke7zum,

@aardrian Stay warm. It's cold where I am right now and hope it does not snow.

aardrian,
@aardrian@toot.cafe avatar

@ke7zum So far we above freezing. That will change later, but I have a hat. And furnace.

"Federal prosecutors will seek the death penalty against a white supremacist who killed 10 Black people at a Buffalo supermarket [in 2022], they said in a court filing Friday."

The DOJ "successfully sought the death penalty for a[n] antisemitic gunman who murdered 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue, which had been authorized as a death penalty case before Garland became attorney general. It also went ahead last year with an effort to get the death sentence against an Islamic extremist who killed eight people on a New York City bike path, though a lack of a unanimous jury meant that prosecution resulted in a life sentence."

New statue of Louise Bethune (1856-1913), the first professional woman architect in the US, in front of Erie County Hall. She opened her practice in , NY in 1881.

In Teil 6 unserer Verkehrswende-Serie beschäftigt sich Fritz Vorholz mit Mobilität im Globalen Süden. Der Ausbau nachhaltiger Mobilitäts-Angebote lohnt dort nicht nur deshalb, weil beispielsweise in Afrika bis 2050 ein Zuwachs an urbanem Raum von 66 % erwartet wird und schon heute 70 % der weltweit emittierten Treibhausgase aus Städten stammen, sondern weil Verkehrs-Infrastruktur für die Bevölkerung der zentrale Faktor für mehr Bildung, Gesundheit und Wohlstand ist.

Yes, I have been following local news on the explosion outside .

No, my information is no better than yours.

Please do not make assumptions.

@aardrian For the second one, it's very sad that people still think Fox is a reputable news source.

@sbourne And even for local family who had access to local news, sadly unsurprising.
