Anybody ever heard of the “Upcountry” in SC? I’m guessing it’s a mythical place off I-85 where everyone wears pastels and Palmetto trees grow in the mountains to confuse people from Ohio into just moving there instead. I’m gonna need a report, @thadmoore.

Just need local news outlets to offer a deal this good now.
This Black Friday deal goes out to everyone who has ever asked me, “So can you get me around the paywall?” For $9.99 you can get (or gift!) a year’s subscription to The Washington Post. That’s less than $1 a month for some of the best journalism around. washingtonpost.com/blackfrid…
Good morning, South Carolina. I’ve missed you.

I used to think it was odd the NC Vietnam War Memorial is at a highway rest stop. But I find myself stopping at it every time. And I’m not the only one. People are still stopping by to let their friends know they aren’t forgotten and I met a guy who comes here to play music.

This is probably not going to help people with seasonal affective disorder.

Celebrating seven years with my wonderful dog Charlotte today. Her original name was Sassy. It was more appropriate than I realized.

Thankful for those who ask the question, “Are you OK?” this #WorldMentalHealthDay Thankful for therapists, counselors and pastors who help heal. But most thankful for buddies who ask the question. And then show up at 5 a.m. when the answer is no. Always ask the question.

#MyTwitterAnniversary Ah, memories. Joined this thing largely because @RicCantrell announced @utahsenate media availabilities on it back before there even was a mobile phone app. That was one of many early efforts toward digital transparency in government in Utah.

This is where I went to high school. I had to search for news coverage after a friend told me about it. That’s not a knock on National news outlets. School shootings are just so common that a single death doesn’t demand attention like it used to. The public is sadly used to it.

It’s hard to quickly write down exactly what someone says. Three quotes that are all *slightly* different, even though there’s no major differences. When I covered court cases where we couldn’t record, reporters often got together to get a consensus on quotes to avoid this.
Well deserved. Time to give those reporters a LONG overdue raise.

Bought a small electric lawnmower last year and I have never felt so smug as I do now as the Norfolk lawn police go around demanding fresh cuts during a fuel shortage.
