Honest question: Why aren't Police or Sheriff deputies directing traffic at intersections with no power? I've seen *dozens* of intersections with police parked there, sitting, engines idling, not directing traffic. I recall living in Chicago and Washington, police would direct traffic in horrible snow, rain, heat, if stoplights went out. Again, this is an honest question, so perhaps there is a simple answer.
Last Friday, multiple tornados hit Tallahassee. Please consider donating to an emergency fund for @FloridaState kids still there on summer term who lost all their food from power outages or saw damage to their apartments and belongings. https://t.co/rI8aWEuz38

Dear @usairforce, do you want to win 2024? Deploy F22 and F35 squadron to bring @taylorswift13 at Mach 2 from Japan in time to make the Super Bowl. She can be *IN* the Vegas flyover. Then fly her back in time for the Tokyo concert. A #PR win for the ages.
I call absolute bogus on college football not picking the undefeated FSU to compete for the championship, while instead selecting teams that lost huge games or fired their own coaches for rampant cheating.
Is this the lesson they want college kids to learn?
@CTBowen2@TB_Times CT. Congratulations on a wonderful career at the Times and elsewhere, and congratulations on joining a wonderful team at Booz! Say hello to the crew there for me!
Short notice, but we have an extra #LanaDelRey ticket for tonight in #tampa. No cost because Ticketmaster only allows transfers. DM me if interested. Sec. 14, Row Y, Seat 40.
Some of my 9/11 memories: Within 24 hours, the paper dispatched me to NYC to help a fellow @Gannett newspaper with coverage. Packed a bag and jumped in my Dad's old Chevy Caprice and hit the freeway.
Some of my 9/11 memories: Running to the @Xerox tower in downtown Rochester, as the company ordered everyone out. It was the tallest tower in town, so people thought it could be a risk. Tried to interview people as they left.
