@GreatSmokyNPS Could you specify which portion? Your map looks like the old western section is closed and the middle (missing link) is open. One would intuitively think that was backwards

@ChipotleTweets Careful - I got over charged for this product and @ChipotleTweets would do nothing about it

[Paul Ries @pdr4str]

@ChipotleTweets your restaurant has really gone downhill. My order was screwed up and then I was overcharged $3.75 just to fix it. I get the message that you no longer want my business….

@Lowes nothing tells me that you would rather me do my shopping at @HomeDepot than making me haul a load of rock all the way thru your store because you refuse to open your garden center gate

@inathanael I didn’t know your hobby was so lucrative!

About $20,000 worth of bonsai trees were stolen overnight at a volunteer-run Oakland garden — the garden’s fourth theft in two years, according to its assistant director.

@wbir Could they ticket people for having dogs on their laps while driving? It seems odd that you can’t touch a cell phone while driving but can have a moving animal on your lap. Of course, I guess you could teach your dog to use your one for you… that must be legal

[Paul Ries @pdr4str]

@CFBRep Why because they thought they would play Georgia and stole their signs instead of Alabama’s?

[Paul Ries @pdr4str]

@ESPNRittenberg Because they didn’t expect Alabama to get in so they didn’t steal that team’s signs?

[Paul Ries @pdr4str]

@PeterBurnsESPN Depends on which team they stole signs from….

@wbir No one voted against it. Judges decide, not vote. Elected representatives are the ones who vote #basiccivics

As the #UrbanForestry profession continues to grow, how can we better define its professional identity? Co-authors Keith O'Herrin, @coreygbassett, @urbansoils @pdr4str & @vtarborist explore further @ISArboriculture: https://t.co/AONM8HkENE

First chance to capture the Milky Way this year. Bonus lights at the bottom of the shot are fireflies

After a week of grading final exams I became a student and attended the @UTIAg Smoking School. Everything tasted amazing and I even met the big boss @KC4UTIA.

The final day of the 2023 @GCLInstitute at @UTKnoxville started with a beautiful sunrise and ended with a surprise visit from City of Knoxville Mayor @indyakincannon who shared her thoughts on nature-based solutions for green communities.

⁦@AshRecEco⁩ thought of you when I saw this. https://t.co/OJflRdBOv4

@KOINNews But you can train your dog on your lap to hold your cell phone since you can’t legally do it. Such is the state of law making in Oregon. We can ban cell phones because they are distractions but not pets on driver’s laps…

@elizabethsimsou @wbir Too bad NPS penalizes locals by making us buy 2 tags if we want a choice of which to drive. I have 2 cars, & both won’t be in the park at the same time. But tourists from some distant state only need to buy a tag for the car they drive to the park, not the one they leave at home

[Paul Ries @pdr4str]

@Local12 Both of them.
