Sherbet is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
Thanx for the update. Maine mass shooters take note: advance planning required.
I totally forgot to post this. Last Thursday, Tyson spent the entire day at the Eliot, ME shop (a couple of miles from my house), promoting his line of stuff. I kept hearing people say "Mike Tyson's in the store in Eliot", and I'm like "why would he be there, and not in, say, Las Vegas?" Now I know why.
Lawsuit coming? Want to name your product the same as ours? Ain't no thing but a chicken wing!
"There's no crying in baseball" – but there's crying in Ontario. In 1998 this ballpark was named in honor of Joe "Jay" Littleton (1923-2003), a World War II veteran and Ontario resident who played in the Pony/Colt League and American Legion Baseball and was a scout for the Dodgers, Angels and Royals. The ballpark was declared a historic landmark in 2003. Littleton's son Gary plans to rebuild it.

The article says "fortunately the idiot driver only suffered minor injuries" (it may not have said idiot). I say that is truly unfortunate.A local to Scotch story.

The driver "was able to self-extricate himself from the truck." Uh, yeah, who else would he "self-extricate"? I know you're all wondering what is the oldest covered bridge in the United States. Note that it is "oldest existing." Uh, yeah, a bridge that no longer exists can't be the oldest.
Hyde Hall Covered Bridge Historical Marker
Built by Andrew Alden, Lorenzo Bates and Cyrenus Clark in 1825, the Hyde Hall Covered Bridge is not only the oldest existing covered bridge in New York State, but in the United States. (A historical marker located in Springfield in Otsego County, New York.)

I think the writer was torn between "self-extricate" and "extricate himself", so he used both.
Maybe what he really did was pre-extricate himself, you know, before someone else had to.
"A hyphenated word," according to the ProWritingAid website, is a word that contains at least one hyphen." Duh! "Typically, hyphenated words are compound words, which means the hyphen connects two or more words."
The "Schrödinger's cat" thought experiment theorizes that a hypothetical cat can be both alive and dead at the same time. Similarly, a hyphenated word can be both one word and two words at the same time.
My head hurts.
