🚨OVERTIME 🚨
WHEELING, WV— Greetings from the road! We’re almost at our destination in Ohio, where we’re going to a family wedding before going further west for a quasi-vacation.
I’ve been driving the rental minivan for most of the trip, so I don’t have much in the way of anything special to add here in OVERTIME.
I can vouch for the pit beef sandwiches from Tony’s Butcher Block in Berkeley Springs, WV.
I do recommend this book excerpt of Nightmare Scenario in the Post about President Trump’s bout with COVID-19. It is an interesting, almost horrifying, read.
Also, this thread from Kenneth White on speech in schools is worth your time…
Missing civil war-era gold… This is a wild read. And will probably become an interesting movie or documentary.
Have a great Friday. We’ll see you back on Monday.
