Last week, Rich Jackson was in charge of The Bloomington Herald-Times and overseeing several other newspapers in southern Indiana. Now he's living in a Motel 6 and blogging as "The Homeless Editor." nytimes.com/2020/05/04/busin…

Sad day for our small-town newspaper, finally shutting its doors after a few years of financial losses. Today, Sylvester Franklin prepared a delivery of the last issue of the Bolivar Commercial in Cleveland, Mississippi. The paper served the community for 104 years. #journalism – at Cleveland, MS

Costco is not really all that serious about E-commerce. Logging into their website is often like winning the lottery.

Still seems likely the Cats can salvage this season and make it to a bowl despite playing a third-string quarterback who is actually a wide receiver, but either way, it’s basketball season and Kentucky will be No. 1 on Monday. Thanks, and goodnight.

Why not bring back the Beer Barrel for the UT-Kentucky game? After all, teams are selling beer in their stadiums. Beer Barrel started in 1925 and was banned in 1997 after Kentucky student died in alcohol-related accident. Where is Beer Barrel? In UT equipment room.

You know you’re in Texas when you ask the waiter if they have Dr. Pepper and he says, “I wouldn’t work at a place that didn’t have Dr. Pepper.”
