This is the first time in years that the
yard-trucks have been inactive for three days,
let alone four days.

----
(One exception: On April 15, 2023, two days after I gave Fridley City Hall information about Target's yard-trucks beepers, the yard-truck activity completely stopped and remained stopped for five days.

Then, over the following two weeks, the yard-trucks were continuously active, and at a very high rate never before or since witnessed. Clearly, Target management panicked and shut the activity down for five days, then spent the ensuing two weeks making up for lost time. There was clearly some combination of panic, uncertainty and game-playing with City Hall transpiring.)

log, continued:

Mo 06/24 light activity, midday
Tu 06/25 inactive
We 06/26 very light activity A.M.

The past seven days (above), which followed the reception of the petition by residents, have seen less than five percent of normal seven-day-period activity.

It's abundantly clear, based on the above, that Target management intentionally undermined the petition effort -- preparing for a week of virtually no activity by getting ahead of the game.

Activity after 10 P.M. is mostly unknown,
as I sleep in my basement with windows closed
and the south windows sound-proofed with many
layers of insulating material so as to block
Target's backup beepers. I live 0.4 miles
from Target's yard.

With the cooler temperatures in the morning, the activity log is now suspended for an indefinite period of time -- as I don't care to open a window even briefly just for the purpose of checking on the yard-truck activity. The activity log to this point is more than ample for giving you the gist of it.
