I think I've told this before but I met my wife the day Elvis passed. It was her first day at the radio station I worked. She was a news person, I was kind of a utility infielder, doing some announcing, public service stuff, and basically a lot of full time fill in work. The station's news director had a bad case of laryngitis that day. The wire machines went crazy with the "world is ending five bells" Memphis, Tennessee..... Her first news cast in Roanoke, Va was the news Elvis had died. He was scheduled to be in town about a week later for a concert. Later that evening a bunch of us went for pizza and beer, I invited her. The rest is history....

I grew up about 30 miles east of the city, or at least until I was 12. Most of the relatives have either moved or passed on. My wife had a conference there last fall and it was in line with a planned vacation. Fort Ligonier, Fort Pitt. I was 8 when Mazeroski hit the home run to beat the Yankees in 1960. The city is nicer than I remembered. I really like the feel of PNC, been there a few times now. And I still sort of root for the Buccos

If only they’d arrest the REAL criminals in DC

In truth the entire Regime’s goal is diversion.

Trump “plans to turn the White House into a condominium,” names everything after himself (including Camp David, which becomes Trump Village II) and holds his inauguration in Atlantic City. 2/4 He is eager to go to the USSR to make deals with the Russians, who “really want the feeling of Trump Tower in New York.” He will “substitute the Japanese yen for the fading American dollar.” 3/4 The column appeared on Sept. 6, just after 41-year-old Trump had placed newspaper ads attacking U.S. foreign policy, starting speculation he was seeking political office. As far as I can tell Duggan’s prophecy has never drawn any notice in the online era. (He died in 2006.) 4/4

Several Virginians who took part in the Continental Congress' first session that began in May are no longer there, most prominently George Washington, now commander of the Army. Peyton Randolph is speaker of the Convention, Patrick Henry is a militia commander, and Edmund Pendleton is ailing. 2/2

The road construction around the new tunnel lanes is crazy. It’s still easier than taking the long way around

Hope you had a chance to do some touring around the area. Point State Park. Old Forbes Field left field wall, nearby museums, ride the incline…..

I just hope Putin goes back to Russia without the deed to Alaska

Had 'em all the way!

Once a hick always a hick

Something tells me the Vice Grifter has too much time on his hands.

Just to recap the last few months

Is Ms Palin hosting?

Whelp, this sucks a bit for the local economy on the state's Eastern Shore. It probably doesn't win any votes for the Orange TACO either. Hopefully it will come back to bite the local Congress Critters. https://www.wboc.com/news/nasa-employees-notified-of-intention-to-close-wallops-visitor-center/article_ef09f97b-1ed9-45b2-b928-d6d35bcbd44a.html It's long been a favorite school trip for both Virginia and Maryland

School’s about to start or has already in nearby districts. Might as well get dark earlier😊 Maybe the later mornings will keep the pup in bed longer

Unfortunately it’s one of the feared outcomes when they repealed the Fairness Doctrine

My money is Ivanka and Jarred. They’ve been quiet lately, but I think she’s the quiet one. Hubby just might surprise
