Moon Jae-in sounds to be a rational man.

The Republican party and the Trump administration are poisoning the population by blocking water quality enforcement.  They are trying to extend the poisoning.

A Disturbing Slumber Party

Also, getting clothes back from an ex; sleeping arrangements on vacation for a granddaughter’s boyfriend; overtipping a manicurist.

Abbi Wool?

Clothes can be replaced.  

Sooner is better.    As soon as you can is best.

Woman’s Body Is Set on Fire in East Harlem Complex, Police Say

The police said it appeared that a woman had been killed in an apartment complex on Park Avenue, and her body was dragged to another part of the complex and burned.

This is only the end of the story or more the middle.
Trial and prison will be the end.

Five Places to Go in Singapore

On the southern edge of Singapore’s Chinatown, Keong Saik Road has transformed from a famous red-light district to one of the city’s trendiest places.

If I was there I would want to leave.
There are better places nearby.

Heather Ann Thompson Thinks the Justice System Is Unfair

The Pulitzer Prize-winner on the Attica prison uprising, criminal-justice reform and the war on crime.

" That’s what’s so powerfully sad about this whole story: It isn’t that we don’t know how to help people, but that we continue to do it through a prison, as opposed to other institutions. It could be so much better."

Man Whose Boat Mangled an 8-Year-Old Is Convicted of Manslaughter

Alexander West, 25, was found guilty of eight of 12 charges and faces up to 22 years in prison for a boat crash that killed a girl on Lake George in July.

I have come to fear propellers.
Community service for three years would be a just resolution of the incident.

He Was on Blood Thinners and Supplements. Could He Still Have Had a Stroke?

The man had suffered two strokes and was actively trying to prevent more. So why was he slurring his words and his face drooping?

I do not use supplements.
I would try to help you to be cautious.

Caffé Lanka, an Outpost of Island Cooking in the Bronx

Sri Lankan restaurants are rare in New York. This one serves pizza, but the real draws are traditional specialties like the pancakes known as hoppers.

If you wish.

How to Do a Text Search on Mobile

Smartphone and tablet browsers tend to hide the option for searching text under a menu or icon.

I use desktops and laptops.
I have not learned to use a touch screen keyboard.
I would park to type.
