The Rite-Aid pharmacy in our little town is closing, which leaves us with Walgreens, Safeway, and one at the local Hospital opened as a desperation move. The closest alternatives area a similar size town 25 miles away (where a Rite Aid is also closing) and then various places across low mountains 50-60 miles away. Just another example of how broken the American system of medicine is.

VITRIVAL (VITRIVAL - THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VILLAGE IN THE WORLD)
dir Noëlle Bastin & Baptiste Bogaert, 2025
Life in the slow lane.
The annual weed and grass abatement is on!
Which is both very much appreciated and hilarious.
Our small town code enforcers cruise around town in their new pickups for the survey of fire dangers. Then comes a letter "courtesy notice" with a fine warning and the helpful note "please see reverse for details".
The reverse is always --- blank. Very blank.
Okay, their website says no grass or weeds higher than 4 inches, no tires, no wood stacks or debris.
...
From CBC Radio's "As It Happens", this is one of the best feel-good news stories I've seen in a long time.
