Each time I arrive on a flight at @BHMAirport after 10 PM it’s like the ground crew is surprised we’re here, even for on time arrivals. I love our airport, but this seems to be a common issue.

Amazing. I know I’m not the only one who has done the math, but the race is on. Can Tommy continue 7.6 more years and break the streak of the legendary Dick Coffee? Time will tell, but in the meantime, Roll Tide Tommy and RIP Dick!
.@AlabamaFTBL fan Tommy Ray of Huntsville, AL is attending his 689th consecutive Bama game today. A single game ticket buyer, Tommy’s streak started 54 years ago. He has attended over half the games in the history of the UA football program. #RollTideTommy #Bama

I’ll never forget this. We should all be so fortunate to have someone stand for us like this when unfairly attacked.
RIP, Lindsey Graham. This moment in the Kavanaugh hearings was phenomenal.

Legendary. Had a @Sharpie at the ready, the family dog joining in, and Samantha playing along.
That time Kyle Busch saw one of his fans wearing his hat while driving RIP to a legend

We went a total of 48 hours without a Lyda in elected office. I finished my tenure on Monday at 6:00 PM and earlier tonight @griffinlyda_ was elected Treasurer of ATO at UA. The torch has been passed. Serve well!

According to forestry, there are two controlled burns, one in Calera and one in Centreville. Winds are out of the Southwest right now. BTW, @joshclackler, I’m in Tuscany right now helping you understand why you’re having to deal with an inconvenient haze. #thoughtsandprayers
What’s up with all this smoke/haze in Hoover? What did you do @johnlyda

Over 200 years later they still are.

Escaped the winter doldrums of Hoover to beautiful Miami and got to reconnect with @JackRoyer and get a look at the @wsvn News 7 studio. Thanks for the kind hospitality, Jack! Roll Tide!

This was an incredibly informative and productive monthly update. @MartyConnors has been facilitating this for many years with timely topics of interest. Appreciate your participation, Lt Gov!
Appreciate the opportunity to share our plan to widen I-65 from the Tennessee line to the Gulf of America with leaders from across the state. When the main artery of Alabama is the world’s longest parking lot, it hurts our economy and frustrates drivers as they travel. #gowide65

Tip of the hat to Rece, Nick, and Desmond for showcasing that professional dress shoes, not sneakers, go with dress suits. 🫡

@BurnerLJohnson Miss Alabama (Former Miss Hoover) representing well at Miss America and currently top 11 in a heavy laden SEC field. Would love your expert analysis.

A good reminder of the truth from Elon.
At risk of starting the obvious, there are many attention-seeking trolls on all social media platforms trying to yank your chain. They win if you respond.

@DAVIDCARROLL3 Who knew a Lyda could be so talented and beautiful? I’m glad you got to meet my 2nd cousin Kenlee.

I happened to walk into my fave D.C. restaurant with @SenJohnThune Monday night. He asked, “How’s it going?”. I missed the opportunity to encourage him in his new Senate role and he missed the opportunity to congratulate me on the vast improvement in solid waste collection.

@BurnerLJohnson Missing the annual reminder that if this food was all that good we’d have it more than once a year. #wisdom
