@EdPiotrowski Also Waccamaw River bridges on US17. Maybe closer until 3 pm? Is that true?

@justinsouglass @nick_ponton @WMU_Football Kennesaw is the Conf USA champ. One champ vs another seems better than playing the 4th place Sun Belt team

@jaysonst Luis Vasquez Oriole "ace" faced 9 batters and threw only 14 pitches. Pretty low, no? Also has 3 total IP and a GIDP in each, plus no runs allowed. Small sample size, but quite a debut with GIDP. Right?

@splillo Michelle told you what to do. Get your friends to vote for Kamala. Get them registered if they aren't. Make the case!

@MPowersNorrell SC ranks about where I'd guess. High poverty = low happiness, plus lack of live and let live attitude here.

@RunningFlannel I'm thinking "All by Myself" seems to sum up the As, since no one attends their games.

And "Nothin from Nothin means Nothin" for the Cubs, for obv reasons this off season
