Main Points

 * HMYZack has only one gym in his area that can't be fought because it's bugged
 * IFHBifSlab "lastModified" code for gym shows October 13 for bugged gyms, which was 0.41 when training was updated from 1 to 6 pokemon
 * Trainers with pokemon in these gyms have been collecting coins since 10/13/2016
 * Those without other gyms in their area are missing out in a huge portion of the game
 * #FixOurGyms Twitter campaign to get Niantic/Pokemon's attention--tweet it at them
 * Harvard Athletic Park, Slowpoke nest
 * Gym attack animations altered: textures, placements, etc. Could mean working on adding Gen2 attack animations
 * Cassy got a haircut
 * Hatched Weedle, Pinsir, Caterpie, Poliwag, Krabby, Paras, Ponyta
 * Nick knows what wood ear mushrooms are
 * Heritage Park
 * Storytime with Nick:
 * Pokemon cartoon used to come on early in the morning. Nick would record it on VHS when he was busy and would watch after school. One day, came home and found the morning news because he set the VCR to the wrong channel. Nick was sad. He cried.
 * Struggling to beat Misty in the games, started with Charmander, evolved it, didn't have grass or electric. He beat her on a camping trip with his family. Felt good about it, so he let his sister play. She asked if she could save, he didn't realize there was only one save file. He cried that time, too.
 * In 5th grade at school carnival, friend's mom got him and friends a booth to sell pokemon cards. Didn't sell much, but it was cool to have a booth. Friend had first edition Charizard in binder in hard sleeve and it was stolen. His friend cried.
 * Update up for iOS for new battle animations and a different light off the top of gyms and new street borders
 * Ingress's Portal Recon for portal review; portals up for review overwhelmingly rural
 * Don't forget to tweet at Niantic, #FixOurGyms
