When history is all around you, but it’s also lunch time and you want to add your 12th @shakeshack to the Vockell Family Shake Shack American Tour
Hey @AmericanAir, while I still don’t understand how one of our three bags went to Chicago while the other two went on our direct flight from Cincinnati to Boston. It would be wonderful to have more of an idea as to when we can expect the other suitcase today.
So I have a perfectly fine-working IPad that I’ve taken care of that could steam @DisneyPlus this morning, but because @Apple wants to force me to pony up several hundred for a newer model, I’m adding this to the list of Apps I can no longer use with this device?

Have I mentioned my repeated call for civic education
I forgot about this curse
Here's a breakdown of the Purdue Football - Taylor Swift album curse.
She released a new album today.

Using @CooperPepClub’s jersey day to educate the youth a little about two of the best running backs from our younger days with @shaunalexander and @40MikeAlstott. Had to rep one of my favorite Boilermakers while Dant went with a Boone County legend.

Please consider stopping by Dewey’s in Union tonight and mention the Cooper Freshmen Mentoring Program. Online and carry out orders also benefit us as long as you mention the Give Back Night or type in Cooper FMP GBN in your order notes @RCHS_Jaguars
Me, “Hey Carter, we are going to check out finals in your brother’s competition in Lexington this evening.”
Carter, “Is that the one near the @shakeshack ?”
It’s important to know landmarks 😂
Just slight disappointment that spicy fries are no longer.

It’s not just about presidential years. Even though the big elections were last year, there are still thousands of local elections happening in 2025 that shape our cities and towns, schools, safety, environment, and local economy. Register to Vote with Headcount.org.

We are heartbroken over the murder of Charlie Kirk. Although we don’t know the shooter’s motive or mental health, regardless, both parties are long overdue to dial down the apocalyptic political rhetoric.
Wasn’t expecting to have fresh Texas v Johnson material
President Trump signs executive order on flag burning: "All over the country they're burning flags...through a very sad court...they called it freedom of speech...When you burn the American flag it incites riots...You burn a flag, you get one year in jail."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The President does not have the power to create a crime which would be punishable by jail time, only Congress can do that.

Further, flag burning is expressive speech protected by the 1st Amendment, as the Supreme Court held in Texas v. Johnson and United States v. Eichman

Maybe this can become your civic engagement project?
Backyard chickens in unincorporated Boone County? How about bees and rabbits?
