It *is* a good joke. And hopefully today you get power back. All appropriate body parts crossed. Hang in there.

Best of luck to everyone in the path of this thing., especially my #Astros peeps. (Though I don't want anything bad to happen to #Rangers fans either.)

We’re in roughly the same part of the world, and over the last week my allergies have gone off. Remember the motto: “Welcome to the Ohio Valley. Here’s your Claritin.”

As does my wife. I have no criticisms of the performances or the songs (or, most importantly, anyone who finds pleasure in it). I’m just having a hard time with fantasies like this right now. Apologies if I came off differently ( and I see how I could have).

look I will crawl across broken glass to vote against Donald Trump but if you're trying to gaslight me that the guy who listened to calls to expand the court and formed a commission in order to kick the can down the road and then never did anything else is actually on top of this now, well.

on the one hand, SCOTUS has ignored precedent, taken away rights, consolidated their own power and declared Donald Trump a special boy who can do all the crime he wants, but on the other hand, we must respect our sacred norms

Really looking forward to hearing more about this 'democracy' that we're going to 'lose' if Trump becomes President again, in light of the fact that six unelected officials just decided that the government has no right to interfere with business

Today is the primary judging day for the U.S. Open Beer Championship. That’s the good news. The bad news that it’s being held in an un-airconditioned barn. The humidity is 85% here today.

The “crazy-assed-bills-per-minute” rate was pretty high in the lege this year, especially since you could get ’em passed with almost no one knowing they existed in the first place.

When Chiquita was based in the Cincinnati area, the local Gannett rag accidentally committed journalism and got internal phone recordings where this was openly discussed. Chiquita screamed and the Enquirer scrubbed the story and apologized profusely and fired people. Death squads work, I guess.

It wasn’t bad, but an even wilder thing they did in this same timeframe was the “vortex tap” that basically introduced more air into the pour and resulted in a creamier head and improved mouthfeel. Unfortunately many think they’re getting cheated with foam. Don’t know if it ever got wide release.

They’re going to make the Apple experience even more miserable and everyone will be celebrating.

Congratulations to #28 Jamie Chadwick on her Road America win, the first Indy NXT win by a woman since Pippa Mann 14 years ago. And no one can say it was fluke. She was on pole and led it wire-to-wire. Bad luck and inexperienced drivers didn’t bite her today.

I pretty much have the exact same order. A’s fans don’t deserve their fate and I generally will root for the Mariners when they aren’t playing the Astros. I’ll give up on baseball before I cheer for the Rangers.
