@KirkHerbstreit So sorry, brother. I truly am.

Otis was my Ben. So many of us know the love. And then the hurt. “ The cost of the transaction” But the beauty of the love in the world in these moments is the sincerity of the compassion. Nothing seems to bring it out like dogs.

Here are the major steps in the "citizens agenda" model for election coverage, which puts at the center not the machinations of the candidates or who's ahead in the horse race, but the concerns of voters and what they want the campaign to be about. Hat tip @ahoving

@ButchMaier Relieved to see this update, Butch. Thinking of your mom. Hang in there.

On this date in 1960, Bill Mazeroski hit the most famous home run in @MLB history; a walkoff blast against the @Yankees that ended Game 7 of the World Series and gave the @Pirates their third World Championship.

From photo 1 to now photo 2, Valencia 176578 is struggling in NYCACC - she’s now TBK Thursday. A 13 MONTH OLD puppy who was adopted and returned for an alleged ‘bite’ that her owner cannot remember the date, details or severity of. A social, affectionate, playful and loving puppy who is being railroaded and deserves so much more. She needs a Northeast family with kids age 13+ as a solo pet. Please let’s save Valencia, pledge RT!

Truth.
"You can propose your own answers to: what are the meanings of life? I'm convinced that the one answer I would put money on is dogs,” Olbermann said.

I'm offering a $100 reward to the @SpiritAirlines employee who finds my beloved @Pirates ball cap. My claim # is 1382868. I'm almost certain I left it on the plane from FLL to BOS (Seat 3A) March 20. Please help! Thank you!

Top of the charts, 48 years ago: “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet”, by Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

Originally used as a “work track” to set the amps and mics, Randy Bachman later recorded a version w/o the stutter. “I sounded like Frank Sinatra. It didn’t fit.”

@rjcollins2 Mixed feelings on this... The Gaff is my favorite on Moody. Glad to hear Deep Ellum is returning, tho.

October 13 1960
Forbes Field, Pittsburgh

(I was 4 yrs old)

World Series Game 7, Pirates & Yankees tied 9-9.

Pirate Bill Mazeroski (now 86) leads off the bottom of the 9th.

On a 1-0 pitch, Maz drives a HR over
Yankee Yogi Berra's head in left field.

Game/Series Pittsburgh!

And a special case

[Keith Olbermann @KeithOlbermann]

Friendly, sweet, curious Avery #142114 dies @nycacc Saturday because she doesn’t like other dogs. Age 5, she arrived as a stray MAY 2 to be placed immediately on the kill list. Social with all humans, save her: pledges to @TomJumboGrumbo PLEASE RT AVERY! https://t.co/D2soUGfKXb

[Keith Olbermann @KeithOlbermann]

Sora #141829 is described as “social, playful and exuberant, seeking attention from handlers”. So why does he die @Nycacc Saturday? The BEST behavior score, but he’s now starting to suffer in his kennel. Save him: pledges @TomJumboGrumbo PLEASE RT SORA! https://t.co/3FOBV9kOhR
