@Alscoop16 In the summer of 1983 I boarded a bus in my tiny Ottawa Valley town with my mom and dad to see my first MLB game. I was 17. Steve Rogers pitched. Late in the game the Expos rallied. Crowd was going crazy. Then Oliver hits a grand slam. I still get goosebumps thinking about it.

Guys I'm of course seeing all your posts about the paywall. I don't know what to tell you: it costs money to pay reporters and editors. "Offer the stories people want to read for free and paywall others!" is not a business strategy. https://t.co/RzljfkKpqD

Freedom of the press, @OPP_News ?
While a veteran reporter was taking photos from a sidewalk outside a police perimeter in Wellington County, an OPP officer grabbed his arm, took away his camera and detained him. A coroner then seized the digital images.

This is crappy. Some superb shooters and reporters have come out of Loyalist. And @andydclarke, who has run the journalism program there, is an Ottawa CBC radio legend. https://t.co/Jqrdcj6aCB

Visited my little bro in Kelowna earlier this summer. On a wine tour one sommelier told us there were notes of ash in a white wine from 2021. They were already set to have a terrible year due to the weather. Thinking of everyone in the Kelowna area right now. It’s horrific.

@WatchMyReview Everyone will hate whatever they decide for the new goal song. That’s why it’s taken so long for a change.

@JasonIsbell My mom's house burned 10 years ago this summer. One of her biggest concerns in the aftermath was whether someone would go into the mess to retrieve her cast iron pans. It's funny the things that seem to so important.
