Sleepy Sunday morning.

@Katie_Gaston I wouldn't drink that water!

Another longtime stalwart has left the Journal Star: the second-floor soda machine is gone.

[Matt Dayhoff @MattDayhoff]

@VecseyPrintHub I think so, but they waxed the floor so I can't get in. Maybe there's a sock-hop or bar mitzvah in there this weekend.

A 2-mile hike in the snow before sunrise? Sounds rough, but it was a lot of fun thanks to some good company. The #PedestriansinPeoria have already walked every city street. Now they're #hiking as many #naturetrails as they can find. More @pjstar: https://t.co/FLpVGcivSF
