Could two followers please copy and re-post this tweet? I'm trying to demonstrate that someone is always there, especially at this time of year. Call 800-273-8255 (National Suicide Prevention Helpline US). Just two. Any two. Copy, not retweet. Let’s all look out for each other.

Leave it to THIS guy … check the replies - likely the most useful post you’ll see in the next few weeks.
Thanksgiving is my favorite. We have a pretty standard menu, I think. I want a new addition to the batting order. What does your family cook that might not be considered traditional elsewhere?

The Hall of Fame isn’t the be-all and end-all of a legacy. I’ll be telling my grandkids about shit I saw Eric Davis do. You tell me who’s immortal.
Damn … such a big part of my misspent youth, gone. Further on up the road, brother. Condolences to His family, Billy, Frank, and every Texan of a certain age & pedigree.

Wonder who President Billy Squier would nominate to SCOTUS. Maybe Nina Blackwood.

Godspeed ...
On 2/15/20 USS Arizona survivor Donald Stratton passed away. On 4/23 Don and his wife Velma would have celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. Sadly today, Velma Stratton passed away at 94 to be with Don. We can only say that love is indeed eternal. Godspeed to the Stratton’s.

My kids found this West Point ring in the park in Princeton NJ yesterday. It has Patrick O’Neal USA engraved inside. Top says (class of) 1971. Help us find the owner! 🇺🇸

For what it's worth, in 1913, Giants mgr John McGraw weighed in on sign stealing: "The unfair method of getting signals is to employ artificial means such as field glasses and buzzers and other devices that have broken into baseball from time to time as first aid to the batter."

Rest In Peace Don. You are with your fellow crewman in eternal peace and love. Duty. Courage. Honor. Seaman First Class Donald Stratton, USS Arizona (BB-39)
A photo of USS Arizona survivor Donald Stratton in the Shrine Room at the USS Arizona Memorial that was taken by his granddaughter Nikki Stratton. A powerful image of respect for one’s shipmates that perished on December 7th.

Not working today but wrote this up for the ⁦@WashTimes⁩. This is a major development and a richly deserved honor for the memory of Dorie Miller Navy to name aircraft carrier for Pearl Harbor hero Dorie Miller via @washtimes washingtontimes.com/news/202… washingtontimes.com/news/202…

How can anyone not hire this guy? Knowledgeable, clever as hell, thinks on his feet ... I'd watch anything he's on. Hell, give him a show out of the gate.

I have reservations about this. The name should be 'retired' and held solely for the hallowed 'ground' at Pearl Harbor. Progress is one thing, but this feels unnecessary and almost disrespectful.
Is the US Navy correct in naming a future submarine USS Arizona? We recently ran a poll here in which 72% of you thought no, the Navy should not use Arizona’s name.

Today is the 94th birthday of #BBKing, and as good a day as any to revive the debate over who’s on the Mount Rushmore of the Blues. I’ll start: Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, BB, SRV
