Good morning, Bristol!

Hello all, and everyone else.

Up and at ’em! Sunrise this morning was 6:25 a.m., while the sunset is 7:40 p.m.

Can you believe it is Friday already? This week went by quickly. Whoooosh. Heck, we haven’t even finished stretching yet!

Tomorrow, that would be Saturday folks, the International Space Station will fly over Bristol at 4:56 a.m. at 33 degrees above WNW.

All TBE readers, supporters and donors          

The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.          

  • Non-members will be able to access eight (8) articles per week.          
  • Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access eight (8) articles per week.          
  • Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.          

Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
