"Tired" of this
Remember that tire that was out on the ice last Saturday?
Well, it wasn’t there today.
It had been right there at the end of the footprints. Yes, footprints (leading right to left).
As a “public service,” someone had walked out onto the ice, retrieved it, and placed it by this sign.

Where have all the papers gone?
As reported previously on this site, most of the LNP vending dispensers in Columbia were either empty or contained out-of-date newspapers. As of today, all of the dispensers, except one, had disappeared. At one location, the LNP dispenser had been replaced by one containing another publication.
This dispenser, featuring a free Hispanic newspaper, recently replaced the LNP dispenser at Third and Union.
As of today, this is the last LNP dispenser standing.
Legislation would fine Pa. drivers who don't clear snow, ice from vehicles
Sen. Lisa Boscola, D-Lehigh County, hasreintroduced a bill that would require drivers to make “all reasonable efforts” to remove all ice or snow from their vehicles. Drivers would face fines of between $25 and $75 for not clearing off snow from their vehicles, including the roof, hood and trunk.
Currently, drivers can only be fined when dislodged snow or ice falls from their vehicles and causes death or serious bodily injury. Boscola also upped the maximum fines for when those incidents occur from $1,000 to $1,500 in the new bill.
