Playing the #SummerGame with a new kitten going as expected. 😹

The number of undeclared allergen recalls that happen is honestly alarming, but easy to not notice if it doesn’t affect you. But when you or your kid has a food allergy, reading the labels is so important, and it makes me so angry even that can’t be trusted.

Best part for me of the LWV event last night on props A&B was when Alan Haber tried to grab my husband by his shirt to scold him and was told “get your hands off me, you old fart.” #a2council My husband is a very calm man, especially compared to me, but he’d had enough!

My children grow weary of the mamarazzi at Westgate. It’s possible I’ve taken their pictures in the hive seating a lot. 🤷‍♀️ At least G was dutifully writing down a #SummerGame code.

I have a #SummerGame league code if anyone wants to see what an “off” showing for the Hautamakis looks like. Still getting the points, even with 2 kids and now 2 pets who can’t be left alone for long.

New “baby” at home means we’re not going to be at quite as many #SummerGame events, I think. Meet Frito, #a2council and #a2schools people.

One thing about living so close to campus is I see so many shitbox rentals for students that I have no sympathy for landlords, even if they’re now trying to present as moderates tonight. I guess not all landlords, but far too many are ripping these kids off. #a2council

Never seen a SG lawn code that made me mad enough to not redeem it — until today. Boo speed bumps?! #a2council

Lobbitorium uncomfortableness for events (big and small) has been an issue and you’ve known it for years you’re a Library Person™. So ready for better event spaces!

Saw a “Support Ann Arbor Teachers” and a “Pause the Plan” yard sign combo today. People don’t get the city and schools interrelationship at all. #a2council #a2schools

Omg, we’re getting @aadl.org Summer Game codes at #a2council meetings?! It’s like a very nerdy dream.

I’m actually glad ElNel has officially come out as anti new library. I thought she had a chance to come back with all the “Pause the Plan” activism. But now claiming some grand conspiracy that beloved institution AADL is just going to sell their downtown properties to developers? #a2council

Happy pool opening day to all who celebrate, including my children who insisted on knowing where their goggles were this morning, so they can be ready to go immediately after school. It is currently 54 degrees. 😬 #puremichigankids

The #a2council discussions and comments about these various mailers have at least given us many opportunities to quote Newman.

Saw Pause the Plan folks putting door hangers all over Burns Park at 1:00 pm today while picking up a kid early from school for an appointment. A reminder yet again that these retirees have endless time to seem like a big voice, unlike people who work and have kids. #a2council
