Each time I arrive on a flight at @BHMAirport after 10 PM it’s like the ground crew is surprised we’re here, even for on time arrivals. I love our airport, but this seems to be a common issue.

Amazing. I know I’m not the only one who has done the math, but the race is on. Can Tommy continue 7.6 more years and break the streak of the legendary Dick Coffee? Time will tell, but in the meantime, Roll Tide Tommy and RIP Dick!
.@AlabamaFTBL fan Tommy Ray of Huntsville, AL is attending his 689th consecutive Bama game today. A single game ticket buyer, Tommy’s streak started 54 years ago. He has attended over half the games in the history of the UA football program. #RollTideTommy #Bama

SEC Media Days will not be returning to Hoover next year or probably ever again. Commish Greg Sankey said it's going back to Nashville in 2027.

I’ll never forget this. We should all be so fortunate to have someone stand for us like this when unfairly attacked.
RIP, Lindsey Graham. This moment in the Kavanaugh hearings was phenomenal.

Legendary. Had a @Sharpie at the ready, the family dog joining in, and Samantha playing along.
That time Kyle Busch saw one of his fans wearing his hat while driving RIP to a legend

We went a total of 48 hours without a Lyda in elected office. I finished my tenure on Monday at 6:00 PM and earlier tonight @griffinlyda_ was elected Treasurer of ATO at UA. The torch has been passed. Serve well!

According to forestry, there are two controlled burns, one in Calera and one in Centreville. Winds are out of the Southwest right now. BTW, @joshclackler, I’m in Tuscany right now helping you understand why you’re having to deal with an inconvenient haze. #thoughtsandprayers
What’s up with all this smoke/haze in Hoover? What did you do @johnlyda

Escaped the winter doldrums of Hoover to beautiful Miami and got to reconnect with @JackRoyer and get a look at the @wsvn News 7 studio. Thanks for the kind hospitality, Jack! Roll Tide!

This was an incredibly informative and productive monthly update. @MartyConnors has been facilitating this for many years with timely topics of interest. Appreciate your participation, Lt Gov!
Appreciate the opportunity to share our plan to widen I-65 from the Tennessee line to the Gulf of America with leaders from across the state. When the main artery of Alabama is the world’s longest parking lot, it hurts our economy and frustrates drivers as they travel. #gowide65

Tip of the hat to Rece, Nick, and Desmond for showcasing that professional dress shoes, not sneakers, go with dress suits. 🫡

A good reminder of the truth from Elon.
At risk of starting the obvious, there are many attention-seeking trolls on all social media platforms trying to yank your chain. They win if you respond.

I happened to walk into my fave D.C. restaurant with @SenJohnThune Monday night. He asked, “How’s it going?”. I missed the opportunity to encourage him in his new Senate role and he missed the opportunity to congratulate me on the vast improvement in solid waste collection.

I’ve been an AL Gang fan since my early childhood. Bobby Allison, the patriarch of the Gang, was laid to rest in a private ceremony last Sat. I honored this AL hero today in the most fitting way I could come up with, by placing a cold Miller High Life on his grave. #RIP #NASCAR

On this day 5 years ago members of the @HooverFireDept answered a call to the Shell at the corner of S. Shades & 150. Once on the scene they swiftly moved into “obstetrician mode” and delivered this young un’ in the front seat of Momma @breeholland22 ‘s van. #neverforget

The @Marine_Marathon was my best race pacing experience to date. Weather, crowds, and a great pace group made it the perfect day. Thx to Elevated Pacing for the opportunity to be a part of this team with the 4:20 group. We nailed our goal at 4:19:32. #mcm2024
