I was able to fly my drone around while visiting Crystal Lake. Please excuse my poor flying skills, my drone's poor camera quality, and my poor editing skills.

I had my appointment and got approved for the card. Then I got an email that appears to be from either McDonalds or from the state. Those that have gotten the card, does the Ga dept of public health really send an email titled MCdocuments?

I’m not sure if it’s a real email and I don’t want to click the link in case it’s a phishing scheme. It seems odd the state would name it something that seems like it’s from McD’s. I suppose it could stand for marijuana card, which makes sense to me aside from the obvious McDonalds correlation.

This is a commission that was done for a client who owns the old Indian cabin shown. It served as the Ferry House on the Chattahoochee River near Flowery Branch starting in the 1820's. This area is now under Lake Lanier when it was dammed in the 1950's.

any shops that can reconditioned hybrid batteries, my car needs repair and I'm new to the area.

I was trying to do my SNAP renewal this morning (I never got a text or email or paper mail to notify me to check gateway notifications, so I made sure that box got checked today), and after finishing the application, they gave me a tracking number. However, the website portal currently doesn't show anywhere to view recent applications. When you call the number, they have a recording saying "we are currently having issues with gateway and are trying to resolve the matter". So, they won't connect you to a caseworker because of this. Pretty much I have no idea how to check my application status or what to do next in regards to trying to get in touch with anybody that could help me get back in the system. Anybody else having SNAP issues using Gateway?

Can someone explain this ballot item? I don’t have kids, but I want to support those that are directly impacted by changes w/ the school system.

How early do you think you’ll need to be in line to actually get in?

Tips from anyone who has been to Obama’s past events in GA?

I get my new place next week. I’ve never had gas in any of my old apartments so I’m not sure which company is the best option. Obviously I want to save as much money as possible but would like warm water so I’m willing to pay my dues.

1. GA Natural Gas
   
2. Gas South
   
3. Scana Energy
   
4. Stream Energy

Just wanted to share that experience.

I have a neighbor who regularly has massive fires that burn all day long, with the burn piles approximately 5 feet from my shed and right next to the woods behind my house. From what I understand, this violates Georgia’s outdoor burning safety rules requiring fires to be at least 50 feet from structures and 25 feet from woodlands.
The neighbor had several trees cut down and is now cutting them up themselves. Because they’re processing the trees on-site, the wood is apparently being treated as hand-piled yard debris, even though some of these logs are nearly 2 feet in diameter. I believe the large logs are contributing to the excessive smoke because they burn for so long.
The smoke and smell are becoming unbearable. It covers my yard and drifts into my home. I’ve tried talking to the neighbor, but that hasn’t gotten me anywhere. I was going to wait for him to just finish but it seems more and more tees are coming down. I am on day 20 or so of this.
I live in Walton County, Georgia, and I’ve contacted the Fire Marshal, the fire department, and the Georgia Forestry Commission. Unfortunately, each agency has told me they don’t have the authority to enforce these rules and keeps directing me to another agency.
At this point, I’m not sure where else to turn. I understand that people can burn yard debris on their own property, but surely there are limits when it comes to fire safety and smoke constantly affecting neighboring properties.
Has anyone dealt with a similar situation in Georgia, particularly in Walton County? Who actually has the authority to enforce these rules, and what options do I have to get this addressed?

This is a pretty good article covering the surveillance state being built in Georgia and how someone is spearheading the fight against it in Cherokee County.

I was hiking yesterday and just saw smoke near Stone Mountain. Not sure if it’s serious or not

Been looking for a cheap used car around Georgia and found a few decent listings on Facebook Marketplace. Problem is half the sellers immediately want me to text them instead of talking through Messenger. One guy even wanted my number and full name before he'd agree to let me see the car lol. I'm not against buying from private sellers but giving random strangers my personal info before I've even seen the car feels a little weird. For people who've bought cars privately around here, do you just keep everything on Marketplace until you meet or is moving to text pretty normal?

I moved just about a week ago and am trying to figure out how to handle updating my address without affecting my ability to vote next week. I also still have to update the address on my ID. My new address is the same precinct/voting place as my old address. (I know that because I just moved from one apartment to another in the same complex.) Can I still vote next week if my voter registration and ID have my old address? Should I wait until after the election to update these? When I go to vote, do I need to let the polling staff know my address has changed even if I haven't updated it on my voter info and ID?
