We had a little scare near Frozen Head state park today. A wildfire they say is now 100% contained. Burned something like 10.7 acres. Not far from houses. #frozenhead

A photo of the front cover of issue 1645 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "On shelves now." The headline reads "RUSSIA DEMANDS TO KEEP CAPTURED TERRITORY" in bold white text on a red background. The cover features a photograph of Russian President Vladimir Putin sitting at a desk, speaking on the phone with a smirk. A speech bubble adds dialogue, with Putin saying, "Including the White House."

Russia demands to keep captured territory

The new Private Eye is out now

Thank you for adding the backstory. As a local who knows little of the ultra marathon community I knew there was more to it.

I left with more questions than answers. Pain? Cramp? He was getting legs massaged. Emotional? They were speaking French, which I don’t speak. I have great respect for his race. Pictures of him starting 3rd leg looked a lot different.

While I am flattered, as the photographer, I fear that there is far more to this than is apparent.

Barkley Marathon #bm100

Winds are starting to pick up here, and we have a high wind advisory today. Living near the park, it’s not uncommon to hear huge trees blow over. I can hear the wind up the mountain starting to think about roaring a little.

The road at sunrise is more dangerous than being lost in the woods. People get killed every year on that highway. That might change as the wind is picking up a bit this morning, and we have high wind warnings today.

I asked someone if they saw the runner on 62 this morning.

I asked someone if they saw the runner on their way to work.

They done usually come this far out.

Even local with ATVs get lost and never come back around here. I once had to pull out the gps 1/2 from my house during the day so I could get home.

Looks like a good night for running. Not too cold, not too wet, not too windy. Are we going to have some finishers this year?

10 or 15 miles north two people lost their lives. Numerous houses, trailers etc were severely damaged or destroyed.
I live on the edge of the park, and there were trees down all over the place.

I wonder if the tornado that radar showed going through the middle of the park last month will be an issue?

As a local, that explains the low slow flying expensive non-military helicopter flying around the southeastern edge of the park.

The Plot Against America How a Dangerous Ideology Born From the Libertarian Movement Stands Ready to Seize America

This is more than a bit disturbing.

Let’s just negotiate for something Biden got just by asking. Wonder what was given up for this other than the tariffs.

I agree with the idea of focus. The last part of video is a bit too much selling his book.

Sweetwater police investigating Ku Klux Klan posters distributed throughout the city SPD said it is working with nearby agencies who have reported similar incidents to identify the source of the posters.

It’s not just north Knoxville apparently.

Klan rally invitation

This has show up in North Knoxville I am told. I’m sure it’s not the only place. Be careful out there.

What if America insisted that our politicians be as safe and knowledgeable as our naturalized citizens. To run for office, you must:

Pass security clearance

Pass the U.S. Citizenship Test

Surrender financial records

Not be a convicted felon

Not killed 1M Americans to keep power and make cash.

House Ethics Committee should investigate Ogles campaign finances, agency recommends Ogles did not cooperate with preliminary inquiries, which found he may have intentionally misrepresented the amount of money loaned to his campaign.

Andy Ogles should be prosecuted for campaign finance violations. Some strange stuff regarding a loan “he gave his campaign” when his financial disclosures said he didn’t have that much money.

“Mad honey,” or “deli bal” as it’s known in Turkey, is a rare and potentially dangerous delicacy with psychoactive properties. Turkey’s Black Sea region is one of only two places in the world where it’s produced.

Who is the intended audience for this post? I agree completely, but if the audience is blue collar it’s going to be labeled as intellectual. Blue collar is where we lost the vote.
