It’s Friday, and the smoke is going away. Life is good, Bristol!

The Bristol Blues have their home opener tonight; Law Enforcement Appreciation night begins at 5 p.m. at Muzzy Field.

The Cultural District Celebration will be held tomorrow, June 10, from 12 to 3 p.m. at Federal Hill Green, and admission is free.

Friday weather

Mostly cloudy with a thundershower this afternoon; gusty winds and small hail can accompany any downpour. High in the upper 60’s.

Today’s deep thought

June 9 Birthdays

Johnny Depp turns 59.

Natalie Portman turns 41.

Michael J. Fox turns 61. (TBE staff are feeling very old.)

Psychic predictions

TBE has been able to add a psychic to our staff for a nominal fee. Here are some of her predictions for the upcoming weekend.

  1. Sometime in the next 72 hours, our mayor will have his picture taken with someone.
  2. Donald Trump will say the words “witch hunt!” 63 times on Saturday.
  3. Someone in town will forget where they put their phone.
  4. Someone reading this list will say, “Any idiot can make these predictions.”

That’s it for today. Have a great weekend, Bristol!


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 four (4) articles per week.                
  • Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) 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.
