Good morning! I hope were able to get out early this morning. It may be one of the best mornings for a run I’ve experienced in months. The breaking dawn (not the vampire movie) was spectacular and the cool temperatures was refreshing. The jaws of summer are about to clamp down on us. We need to enjoy this while we can.
I appreciate WAPT morning meteorologist Ethan Huston for giving me a shout-out on the air this morning.

Making a joke about a man who has no fear of ever owning saggy pants pushing a ban on them is too easy, so I won’t do it.

And I’m a little uncomfortable with the government telling people what to wear.
BONUS CARTOON: I do national cartoons, too. Click here to see today’s.

A new thing to fear: Taxmageddon. Good grief.
Share your memories of Bailey Magnet: Mine, talking to the journalism class many years ago. Kids were great but the building was fascinating. An amazing piece of architecture.
BREAKING NEWS: Stolen concrete pig found abandoned. Thank goodness, I think.
Isolated severe thunderstorms expected this afternoon in Central Mississippi. A warm front is heading our way (which means the humidity is coming back, too.)

Jim Hood’s bad day: Governor signs the Sunshine Act limiting the A.G.’s authority. And it opens up more business for lawyers outside of the A.G.’s rolodex.
