We flushed the hot water heater for the first time and it had small rocks and sand in it, not the normal calcium silt looking material. (The people we bought the house from replaced it shortly before listing the house a little over 2 years ago.) What's in the water here?

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Instacart delivered our neighbor's groceries to our house but we didn't know because they didn't ring the door bell or knock.

Can anyone actually explain the actual authority necessary to do this?
