Portion of Scott Road closed in North Delta following two-vehicle collision that sends motorcycle onto pole (PHOTOS)

Motorists are being asked to avoid portions of Scott Road in North Delta Saturday afternoon following a two-vehicle collision. Delta police confirmed in an email to the Optimist that officers are on scene in the 7100 block of Scott Road for a motor vehicle collision between a vehicle and a motorcycle. Police say the call came in just before 3 p.m. The motorcycle rider sustained serious, but non-life-threatening injuries and has been transported to hospital. The driver of the vehicle did not sustain any injuries.

Scott Road between 72nd Avenue and 70th Avenue is currently closed while emergency crews facilitate removal of the vehicles and debris from the roadway. Police are asking motorists to please use an alternate route.

I was right about crypto. Don't buy a boat. They don't work and port infrastructure looks like a scam.

John Brown, born on this day in 1800, was a militant abolitionist who advocated for and practiced armed insurrection to overthrow the system of slavery in the U.S. He became the first American executed for treason after raiding Harpers Ferry.

Brown first gained national attention when he led small groups of volunteers during the Bleeding Kansas crisis of 1856. He was dissatisfied with the pacifism of the organized abolitionist movement, stating "These men are all talk. What we need is action - action!"

In October 1859, Brown led a raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (modern day West Virginia), intending to start a liberation movement that would spread south through the mountainous regions of Virginia and North Carolina.

Although Brown's group successfully seized the armory at first, his raid was defeated by a combination of volunteer militia and state forces led by Robert E. Lee, who later commanded the Confederate States Army. Seven people were killed, two of whom were Brown's sons Oliver and Watson, and at least ten more were injured.

Brown had intended to arm enslaved people with weapons from the armory, but only a small number of locals were willing to join him, possibly due to an unfamiliarity with firearms. Within 36 hours, those of Brown's men who had not fled were killed or captured by local farmers, militiamen, or U.S. Marines.

Brown was hastily tried for treason against the Commonwealth of Virginia, the murder of five men, and inciting a slave insurrection. He was found guilty on all counts and was hanged, becoming the first person executed for treason in the history of the United States.

"I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land can never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think, vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed, it might be done."

I swear when I was a child and saw the logo I thought this dude was oooooooooooooooolllllllllllldddddddddd.  His face I recall crinkling with wrinkles in the TV ads when he smiled.  But now he just looks normal, not ancient. Yeah he's got white hair but I'm pretty sure that's just those powdered wigs.  Option 1: they made him look younger.  Option 2: I am no longer 9 years old.

from the page:

We are building a space for communication, discussion, and collaboration for people who share the ideas of socialism. Here you will be able to share thoughts, discuss theory, analyze current events, and find like-minded people.

The new social network will become a place for meaningful discussions, experience sharing, and community development. We want to create an environment where arguments, knowledge, and mutual respect matter.

This section is currently under development.

Stay tuned — we will open access to the new platform very soon

Who knows where I'd even be right now without that person. Probably living in a bus yard encampment with all the other dopes who can't solve the puzzle.
