Good morning, Bristol!

“Friday, Friday.” It just doesn’t have the same cache as “Monday, Monday.”

Weather

Today’s total precipitation: 0″. A brrrr of a day, with temps ranging from 33 to 44 degrees. The wind will make it feel cooler.

Speaking of Fridays

In 1972, 22 IRA-bombs explode in Belfast making it Bloody Friday.

In 1998, negotiators sign the Good Friday Agreement, a plan for peace in Northern Ireland.

The question of the day

On the one hand, “What deep wounds ever closed without a scar?” — Lord Byron

On the other, “What sort of philosophers are we, who know absolutely nothing about the origin and destiny of cats?” — Henry David Thoreau

Making plans

One list of the best songs with the word, plan, in the title has at No. 1, “Plan.” The last on the list is “The New Workout Plan.” Who would have guessed?

One step at a time

It’s Friday, watch your step. No getting ahead of yourself, please. The weekend will be here soon enough.


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.
