When the music of your high school days becomes the soundtrack for figure skating at the #Olympics does that mean you’re officially old? Asking for…let’s face it…myself 🤣😝 #1990wasonlytenyearsago

#Snow squall in #FernandinaBeach #Florida. The neighborhood kids are a *little* excited 😆 Second year in a row we’ve had snow on #AmeliaIsland after 36 years. But please tell me how climate change isn’t real 🙄

Video: This Might Be the Best Sport for a Longer Life Research consistently shows that physical activity is linked to healthy aging. But do some sports confer more longevity benefits than others? Simar Bajaj, a reporting fellow for Well, explains.

There’s one sport that evidence shows helps you live a longer life - and I’d argue a better life.
Hint: it’s not pickleball 😝🎾

So if Chairman Cassidy was as alarmed by this as he says he is - and he called the CDC Director and told them to take this misinformation down - and they didn't - then this would be a much bigger scandal than CDC promoting false information (which in and of itself should be a major scandal).

This is what happens when Congress abdicates its oversight role. Vaccines do not cause autism. That is settled science. Back in my day agencies used to be response to their oversight committees.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

Florida plans to become first state to eliminate all childhood vaccine mandates State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo, who announced the decision, cast current requirements in schools and elsewhere as “immoral” intrusions.

I can't begin to even say how much I oppose this move. It flies in the face of science and evidence. But also history. We know what happens when children aren't vaccinated because it hasn't been so long since vaccines were invented.

If you call the area ‘the DMV’ or refer to the airport as anything other than ‘National’ then you should excuse yourself from the conversation.

Some of you didn’t live in DC in the 90s and it shows 😆
(And FWIW I loved DC so much more then - before the gentrification and snooty restaurants and fancy apartment buildings)

But it’s more than that. There was something ironic working to influence public policy and effectively not having a vote. There is no good reason for DC not to have statehood. Today’s actions by the President are just another reason why we need DC statehood now. Call your Senators and Representative

I didn’t grow up in DC. I moved into the city and became a DC citizen in 2001. The years I lived in the District were wonderful. It is a great city with great people. But I hated not having Congressional representation. Taxation without representation is fundamentally un-American.

Played a three hour match this morning from 9:30 - 12:30 then jumped in a clinic at 1 for an hour. 93 degrees, 107 heat index. But this is why we play all summer in Florida. You get to a level of conditioning that you just can’t up north.
