@pfhyper I got the impression that as arborist she grudgingly accepted utility trimming & just hoped it would be done well.2:43 PM Jul 10th from TweetDeck
@pfhyper She agreed re: shorter trees tho. Underground power lines is not an easy issue either. Discovery & repair of problems is harder.2:40 PM Jul 10th from TweetDeck
@pfhyper I'll point her to your pix. But it did sound like a big "if" - w/ understanding that bad trimming is better than people dying.2:39 PM Jul 10th from TweetDeck
@pfhyper My sister said that the trees can cope with trimming if it's done well.2:04 PM Jul 10th from TweetDeck
@pfhyper I'll ask my arborist sister your tree questions.7:05 PM Jul 8th from TweetDeck

@garrickvanburen Passwords are broken and people don't create good ones. If a computer can suggest better memorable pw, I like it. I think.9:37 PM Jul 7th from TweetDeck in reply to garrickvanburen
@garrickvanburen What do you mean by "system-generated" passwords? As part of pw recovery? System suggests pw to use?8:53 PM Jul 7th from TweetDeck in reply to garrickvanburen
MN is moving to 30-day password expiration on self-service site. Wonder what this will do to password quality. Doubt anyone's tracking.8:28 PM Jul 7th from TweetDeck
