Welcome to Thursday, Bristol. Keep your seat belt on.
Weather
Lots of sun, high in the mid 70s.
Pothole Patrol
The PHP returned to Central Street in Forestville, headed south, and drove over this gem.
On this date in Bristol circa 1962
Permits were taken out for Bristol’s new city hall in the “downtown development area.”
The wisdom of Floyd the Barber
Sherriff Andy: Well, as Mark Twain said, everybody complains about the weather but nobody does anything about it.
Floyd the Barber: Did he say that?
Sherriff Andy: Mm-hmm.
Floyd the Barber: I thought Calvin Coolidge said that.
Sherriff Andy: No, no Floyd, Calvin Coolidge didn’t say that.
Floyd the Barber: What’d Calvin Coolidge say?
Yes, indeed. What did Calvin Coolidge say?
Pull anchor
See ya tomorrow (maybe). Don’t remember to forget, Bristol.
All TBE readers, supporters and donors
The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.
- Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.
- Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.
- Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.
Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
