On Sunday, July 23, 2023, between 12:00 am and 12:30 am, a firebomb attack took place at Community Unitarian Universalist Church of Plano. An incendiary device with a chemical accelerant was thrown or placed at the front doors of the main church building. The fire and smoke caused the monitored fire alarm system for the building to go off, which notified church personnel. The City of Plano 911 system received a call from a passerby who saw the fire at the same time. City of Plano Firefighters arrived on the scene and were able to extinguish the fire. Because of the quick action of Plano’s First Responders, the damage to the church property was limited to the front doors, the materials directly outside the front doors, and the entrance foyer. There were no injuries. Plano Police and Fire Department personnel did a thorough collection of evidence of the crime scene. They also interviewed multiple church personnel who arrived on-site to assess the incident.

Church officials have been reviewing building security and working with the Plano Police Department since the intrusion of a hate group in the church building during and after Worship Service on Sunday, June 25. That group has posted video of their activities inside the church on various social media sites.

The church community asks for your support and prayers at this time as we deal with the impact of this incident.

Housing prices have gone nuts.

Thought we might move, after a month of looking we gave up and are staying put. Been looking at South East Michigan. Up here in the mid-state area prices haven’t gone up like down there.

Seems like a bubble to me. Like 2008.

Put for for sale sign on boat

Went to our first Minor League game last night.

Had a great time. Standing in line for tickets, a lady came up and gave us 4 tickets.
Midland has a great new stadium and there were lots stuff to do. It was packed with fans.
Only thing I didn’t like was it was a no cash event. Had to use a credit card to buy a bottle of water.
Home team won and clinched a spot in the play offs.
We plan on going back again.

Had a flat tire a few days ago. Now I'm

Debating my next move.
Picked up a screw and it went completely flat. Was going to take it off and take it in. Getting old and started to struggle with the lug nuts, so I gave that up and just plugged it. Seems ok now, but I’m not going to trust it.
The screw was right on the edge of the tread and almost on the sidewall. Figure the tire place won’t patch it and try to sell me a new tire.
Tires are at least 80% full tread. Thinking I might look for a used one on Graigslist or try a junk yard.
It’s a 2000 van with 15 inch tires, so hard to find these days, even new.

Any educated guesses on the best path to try?
Thanks for reading this.
