I’m noticing a lot of hedging when it comes to D’s taking the @USHouse and @USSenate. Lots of “what if we undercounted R’s” and “here’s how R’s keep majorities.” It’s as if pollsters are running scared. -#politics, #polls

All the excitement about the #ohio gas tax suspension seems to have disappeared. Regular is back to $4 a gallon and diesel $6.25 at least in the Dayton area. Here’s what I wrote about the subject in the @DispatchAlerts dispatch.com/story/opinion/c…

Some of you have seen Bella the Yorkie on platforms like @2waytvapp and the occasional @KnickFilmSkool town hall. She liked to crawl on my chest and be held and that often happened when I was trying to make a point about politics, sports or some other subject. This afternoon, Bella crawled on my chest for the last time. She unexpectedly died this evening.

I see the Austin well’s stupid proves to be contagious @Yankees, @RaysBasebal, #sloppybaseball, #dumb . This is the worst half inning of defensive baseball I’ve seen. I can’t wait to see the @NickTurturro1 video blowing a fuse

I'm one of the lucky few journalists to get a sample of the 31 Lengths bourbon in partnership with @claibornefarm. Just 500 bottles at $1.5K each. Check out the @BourbonResource for a review, as well as news and 5 questions with @obky_bourbonite. It's always FREE. #bourbon, #whiskey, bourbonresource.substack.com…

Thank you @nobleheartopenI. I tried your carbonara suggestion --- egg first, pasta second instead of the other way around --- and it worked like a charm

Today, I received a much coveted sample of 31 Lengths bourbon from @claibornefarm. The whisky honors the great Secretariat’s winning margin at the 1973 Belmont Stakes. It's aged 15 years, bottled at 100 proof, and has a limited distribution of 500 bottles at $1,500 each. Read about it in detail at the always free @BourbonResource, which will be published October 1. #Whisky, #Bourbon bourbonresource.substack.com…
