Hi Whitney,
Thanks so much for your note of encouragement!

How the 89-year-old tradition of Script Ohio and dotting the i defines Ohio State and its band The tradition of "Script Ohio" remains a cherished part of Ohio State University and college football. At 89 years old, it continues to captivate fans.

Drive! Drive on down the field,
Men of the scarlet and gray;
Don’t let them thru that line,
We have to win this game today,
Come on, Ohio!
Smash through to victory.
We cheer you as you go:
Our honor defend
So we’ll fight to the end for O-hi-o.

Agree. Life expectancy in U.S. is currently 79.5, and it's been trending down in recent years. First time home buyers are approaching 40-years of age on average. That would take them out to 90-years of age... well beyond life expectancy!

White House's 50-year mortgage proposal has one notable benefit but a number of drawbacks The White House says it is considering a 50-year mortgage to address the home affordability crisis. Critics argue it won't solve issues like supply shortages and high interest rates.

I know we are all aware of the many awful reasons why. I thought Paul (see video post) articulated this so well and touched on the many aspects of why. The hidden back streets of hate, misogyny, hypocrisy, and corruption converged at the election of this disastrously horrible individual.
