A proposed rule fueled by Trump’s conspiracy theories would require the USPS to keep a list of voters it believes should be allowed to vote by mail—and give them the power to hold those ballots hostage. Urge them to say NO and help protect voting by mail: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

This is a Mylar balloon I found on my property yesterday (3 March 25). It is the fourth I have found on my property in recent years. I have also found them on Cumberland Trail and in Prentice Cooper State Forest. If littering is illegal, these balloons should be illegal.

I once saw a religious rant in the Chattanooga Tennessee newspaper by a man from Georgia. It covered numerous topics, but the prize winner was this. He said global warming was caused by the additional hour of sunlight each day while on daylight saving time.
