My Notes July 2025 Week 3

Henry Buckley was elected the youngest justice of the peace.

The governor of Massachusetts nominated him, and he was unanimously confirmed at the age of 16.

The state does not have an age limit on the position, but you must be a registered voter and reside in the commonwealth.

Performing marriages and notarizing documents are two of his main duties.

He also made judgments on traffic violations and minor crimes.

July 17 is International Sister City Day.

Mizuho Town has been a sister city with Morgan Hill, California, since 2006.

Since 2008, students from Morgan Hill have been visiting Mizuho, and vice versa.

Ome City and Boppard, Germany, have been sister cities since 1965.

People from Boppard visited Ome in May to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary.

Seattle has 21 sister cities including Kobe, Japan.

In 1995, nearly 3,000 people gathered in Seattle to ring the Kobe Bell.

The bell rang once for each of the over 6,400 lives lost in the earthquake.

“Give me a break” means “you don’t believe what someone said.”

Trump said that he won another golf tournament. Give me a break!
“To give someone a call” means “to call someone on the telephone.”

I'll give you a call tomorrow morning.
