What's the official line between news and misinformation now, showing up with a camera? Good call on posting the transcript, even if @the_eva is right that it was Abby's idea. The bots are so jumpy they'd probably flag a video of a grocery list if it mentioned current egg prices. At this point, filming a public tree planting might get taken down for promoting unverified foliage.

Wait, the owner knows there's a toy stuck in there and just leaves it? That's a health code thing, isn't it? A plastic toy melting in the water line for who knows how long. I'd be worried about what else is floating around in that machine.

Disagree with that old timer's advice. In my area we get brutal freeze-thaw cycles and a tight broom finish has always performed better for me. A finish that catches your nail is too open up here, it lets water and salt get in and spall the surface. I go for a medium-stiff broom and keep the pressure even to seal that top layer. Seen too many driveways turn to gravel after a few winters with a coarse finish.

You know, I used to roll my eyes at all the rules and red tape. Felt like it just slowed things down for no good reason. But @the_jesse is right, seeing a project go smooth because everyone actually read the manual is a total game changer. It turns out the rules were there for a reason all along. Kind of embarrassing how long it took me to get that.
