Come to think of it, Dear Leader's Monday morning post-Fox and Friends Twitter rant has not materialized. Maybe he's paying more attention to the tribulations of Michael Cohen.
Joe Biden Is the Front-runner. Uh-oh.[Click] “The former vice president may be beloved, but he is also out of step with the post-Trump Democratic Party.”
Sleet and snow last night here, enough for a few inches of accumulation, but by now the rained has washed some of it away so everything looks bedraggled.
Just a bit of snow last night in the Chicago area. Mostly melted now, although there is some possibility of more snow tonight. So much for my idea that the previous snow might mark the end of winter.
"If I wrote a screenplay in which a lawyer/fixer had only three clients -- the President of the United States, a major GOP donor trying to cover up allegations of impregnating a Playmate and Sean Hannity -- roughly ZERO major or minor studios would buy that script, considering how improbable it all is.

PhD*Son not only did fine in the Boston Marathon today, he had his best time ever, in any marathon!!
Conditions today included temps in the lower 40's, 1-2" of rain, and winds with gusts over 50mph.
YEAR . .HALF ....... PACE ............ FINAL 2015 ... 1:28:17 .... 6:50min/mi ... 2:59:23 (First time running in the Boston Marathon) 2016 ... 1:27:42 ... 6:52min/mi ... 3:00:26 (hot sun, charlie horse, & 9yo daughter in hospital w/ abdominal pain) 2017 ... 1:27:15 .... 6:48min/mi ... 2:58:38 (best marathon time of any of his marathons) 2018 ... 1:24:00 ... 6:28min/mi ... 2:49:53 (40's, inches of rain, and headwind gusting over 50mph)
That's a full *8min, 45sec faster* than his previous personal best!!! 😮
I think he trained differently this year. But it doesn't hurt that he lives in coastal Maine and spends a month in the Arctic each year.
If you run the 26.2miles in less than 3 hours, you automatically qualify for the next year. Also, your bib number relates to your standing in the whole. He is in the "First Wave" of runners.
P.S.: Having seen the light pads online, I looked around town; the only store that had them--the best art supply store-- carried the expensive, relatively heavy and heavy duty ones. but not the light and inexpensive ones. The well regarded online art supply stores also had the same kind; the local office supply chain stores didn't have any, and neither did the best school supplies store. So Amazon it was.

I seem to recall another former vice-president who was considered the front-runner 16 years ago.
DeleteI had that same thought.
DeleteUpon first seeing this headline I thought it was a put on, even though it was at TPM:

4" of rain overnight, substantial flooding today, snow tomorrow. On the spring front, the coltsfoot is in bloom.

BIB NUMBER:

2017 = 4332

Do you think the cool temperatures help? I know in hot years it's really hard on the runners.
