Celebrating America 250! Free Giveaway! I have one of these to give away to a follower. If you FOLLOW ME, LIKE and RETWEET this post I will draw one name on Saturday and send the winner this very cool 'Worlds Largest Drum.'
I was at the grocery store checkout. The woman in front of me was elderly, moving slow. She had cat food, bread, eggs, and tea. She swiped her card. Beep. Declined. She swiped again. Hands shaking. Beep. The line behind us was sighing. Someone checked their watch. The cashier sighed. ‘It’s not going through, Ma’am.’ The woman looked small. ‘I… I just used it yesterday. Let me put the eggs back.’ She started taking things out of the bag. The shame on her face was gut-wrenching. I stepped up. ‘Put it on mine,’ I told the cashier. The woman turned. ‘Oh no, I couldn’t—’ ‘It’s okay,’ I said. ‘My grandmother used to drink that same tea. It’s on her.’ I paid. It was $22. She waited for me in the parking lot. She grabbed my hand with fingers that felt like dry paper. ‘I don’t have anyone left,’ she whispered. ‘I haven’t spoken to a soul in three days. Thank you for seeing me.’ It wasn’t about the groceries. It never is. Look up from your phones. Look at people. We are all just walking each other home.

I’ve been dunking on the has-been program down south so much today that I almost forgot to announce:
I now have THREE (3!) FINAL FOUR scarfs to GIVEAWAY. MRS. BURNER let me know that she, too, snagged an extra while walking out of State Farm Stadium following the Final 4 W.
Because I love all PURDUE fans (well, most) - To go along with the 3 FF scarfs, I’m also throwing in a SOLD-OUT, Topps Zach Edey player card.
I love you, my loyal followers. I will give it another week until I ship them but there will now be FOUR (4) winners and I will ship all 4 items on 5/18.
Please RT and ‘Like” to enter the GIVEAWAY. Must be following.
Have a great - and safe - weekend, BOILERMAKERS 😎
TFW you find you have not one but TWO Final Four scarfs to GIVEAWAY 🔥🔥.
I will be shipping (2!!!) Final Four scarfs this weekend to PURDUE fans who follow Boiler Burner.
For a chance to win, Simply ‘Like’ and ‘Repost’ this, and/or the original post.
🚂🔥SUNDAY GIVEAWAY 🔥🚂
In my PURDUE-MADE-THE-FINAL-FOUR spending spree, which, to my wife’s chagrin, has now lasted 3 weeks, I unknowingly bought the same Final Four pennant twice.
Rather than return it, I’d love to give the extra one to a fellow Boilermaker.
To enter for a chance to win, please ‘Like’, ‘Repost’ and be following. I will draw the winner from a randomizer app on Wednesday.
🚂🆙
Purdue peeps, a family member who was working the game in Detroit when we won a trip to the Final Four, sent me this bag of confetti from the celebration. I have more than enough. Like, follow, and retweet and I will randomly pick a winner on Friday and mail you a small bag.
This is a free story (no subscriber status needed for this one) because I had to tell the way Zach Edey treated a reporter on Saturday. It tells you who Edey is, not as a basketball player, but as a human being. And he's a better human than ball player. https://t.co/v9yWz8rGM0
