RIP Carole Keeton. This is @fox7austin video of her from 1980.
Statement from Mark, Dudley, Bradley, and Scott McClellan:
"With deep sadness and a profound sense of loss, we share the passing of our beloved mother, Carole Keeton. She died peacefully at her home in Austin, Texas, surrounded by family. Mom accomplished so much in life on behalf of others because she cared deeply about making a difference and improving the lives of families and individuals from all walks.

Her tireless dedication and ability to get things done were unmatched. She stood firm on principle, always focused on what was best for those she served and doing the right thing the right way. She was a trailblazer for women, embodying the best of public service and inspiring younger generations to serve.

Above all, she was a loving mother and grandmother who always put her family first. She cherished every moment with family, especially her nine grandchildren.
We are grateful for the support and kind words during this difficult time. Your memories of our mother our children’s grandmother bring us comfort and remind us of the remarkable person she was and the many lives she touched.

A private family service will be held, and a public memorial will be organized within a couple of months to commemorate her life and what she meant and accomplished for so many Austinites and Texans.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers."

Late tonight, #BlueGhost will witness a rare eclipse from the Moon! This marks the first time in history a commercial company will be actively operating on the Moon and able to observe a total solar eclipse where Earth blocks the sun and casts a shadow on the lunar surface. Here's what we hope to see & the challenges we'll need to overcome to capture this phenomenon! #BGM1 https://t.co/CHSx2NBkSK

The original @BlackSabbath – Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward – will play for the first time in 20 years. The band will take to the stage to headline BACK TO THE BEGINNING on July 5th at Villa Park.

The all-star event will celebrate the true creators of heavy metal and will see @OzzyOsbourne play his own short set before joining with Black Sabbath for his final bow.

“It’s my time to go Back to the Beginning….time for me to give back to the place where I was born,” Ozzy Osbourne said. “How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham Forever.”

Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.

In memory of David Lynch, we will continue to explore the otherworldly and the unknown. We will focus not on the loss, but on what we gained from the years we shared this planet with you. We will see you in our dreams.
