“If you look at the priority calls, it’s shots fired calls and firework calls. You know how that goes,” she said. “They respond as they can, but they have to get there, and obviously, especially on a holiday weekend, they’re going to get a lot of calls that aren’t related to fireworks and related to actual violent crimes.”
“The game was always accepting,” said Gomez, an assistant coach with the New York Rangers. “When you’re in that locker room, you’re one of the boys.

There’s an opportunity to make a move back up the standings. If not, Rizzo, Bryant, Javier Báez and Craig Kimbrel all are candidates to fetch assets that could help the Cubs beyond this season.
Water your orchid early in the morning, with rain or distilled water as the mix approaches dryness. It is best not to use water softened by a water softener.
