"What a nice thing for people to do," Brady said. "It's so nice to see the kindness of strangers and generosity." Brady, 47, said she and other residents in the Kirkendall neighbourhood came upon the potted surprises on Saturday afternoon. A friend of hers in East Hamilton said she also got a delivery.

'Smiles and warmth' Many people took to the organization's Facebook page to express their thanks and share photos of the flowers.

With Bryan Clauson in mind, Zeb Wise wins the second BC 39 - Indianapolis Star
Tuesday, September 10, 2019It felt like I was going to." However, it was Larson who was temporarily subdued with a rear flat tire. Wise was able to recover, but saw 2018 BC 39 winner Brady Bacon in front of him as the green flag came back out. However, with just seven laps remaining, Wise once again pulled his way to the front. This time, it was a lead he wouldn't give up. The win is Wise's third of the year in the 2019 National Midget Series. Wise's smile remained as he stepped down from the stage. Only a few of the near-8,000 people who watched him hoist the checkered flag remained in the stands as he prepared to take the trophy to the Yard of Bricks. Despite the joy, Wise was able to remember the person and family who gave him a chance. "(Bryan) would probably be mad that I beat him and he didn't win," Wise said. "But, I'm sure he'd be just as happy for me. ... I'm just happy to be driving for his dad and carrying on his legacy." Email sports reporter Tyler Kraft at TKraft@gannett.com.

Calif. flower shop with no connection to Capitol riot flooded with threats, negative reviews - SFGate
Sunday, January 17, 2021Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office being broken into during the riot, reports the AP. She also happens to be the proprietor of a florist called Becky’s Flowers in Midland, Texas — the source of the confusion for Aaron Alberti, who has owned and operated the Roseville Becky’s Flowers since 2004. Now, he’s trying to clear the air in order to save his business. “It’s been nonstop … we’ve just been flooded with messages,” he told SFGATE on Thursday afternoon. “One of our employees recently picked up the phone, and the person on the other line said, ‘Are you the bitch who stormed the Capitol?’ And she just said, ‘No, ma’am, we’re in California.’ And the person hung up on her. There’s no apology, no nothing.” At first, Alberti tried to delete the growing number of comments, which he found downright disturbing. “People have written things like, ‘I hope you get cancer,’ ‘I hope your shop burns down,’ ‘I hope you die,’ ‘I hope you rot in jail,’” he said. “And those are the polite ones.” Contrarily, Alberti added that the shop even received a love letter intended for Cudd from a firefighter living in Florida. “To be honest, they both concern me,” he said. In response to the harassment, Alberti notified the Roseville Police Department, which has been periodically sending out officers to check in on the shop. He also contacted Yelp, which he said acted quickly to remove the misguided comments, as well as Google, though he’s still awaiting a response. of this store since 1973.We are getting hate messages and bad reviews as a result.
