If you want to feel better about yourself, humanity, and the triumph of love, go to YouTube and watch a Buck O'Neil speech. And, now, a Hall of Famer!

We’ve always known it, but now it’s official.

Buck O’Neil is Forever Legendary.

Congrats to our late Chairman John Jordan Buck O’Neil on his well-deserved and long overdue induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame!

Watching a tense moment in the 5th inning of the World Series and then thinking, "Is that Rush?" It was. This man really sweetens the baseball experience. https://t.co/7PrF2oR5AU

As a parent, I'm relieved by @AthensALSchools's temporary mask mandate. As a citizen, I am thankful for open board meetings and opportunities for utilizing the right to free speech exhibited at yesterday's meeting:

We fight so hard to get teachers at the policy decision table that we often forget students. Glad to hear of this group of students advocating for a seat at the table. @aplusala https://t.co/4xGWRBvfQi
