For those who observe, we wish you an easy fast and a meaningful Yom Kippur.

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor America’s first inhabitants and the Tribal Nations that continue to thrive today. We honor Native American peoples and commemorate their important contribution to our history and culture.

Each October Common Sense leads Digital Citizenship Week, October 14–18, 2024, an annual campaign to promote a healthy, balanced, and positive approach to media and tech use among young people.

Huge shout out to the order-taking and delivery (student) staff of Blue Moon Cafe and Hot Spoons- they are doing a fantastic job! They come in, tell me about the day's menu, make recommendations and great conversation, then deliver my order professionally and with a smile. It is always the highlight of my day. Great work!

Best lyric: "I wonder if you look both ways when you cross my mind?"

My love for Tyler knows no bounds. This is a favorite.
