Will you be posting another mailbag anytime soon? A question I’ve been wondering for quite a while, there are some d3 schools with very wealthy alumni, is there much going on with NIL in the d3 level? Could we see a really rich alum propel a bottom of the pack school to prominence?

I know nothing at all about #rocks but my favorite dorky dad activity is to go about halfway out in the river and dig down under the surface and find what I think are cool rocks.

Today my sons completed a central PA rite of passage for them. Climbing to the top of the 1000 Steps outside Mount Union, PA. Quarry workers used to climb those steps every day to get to work. One of my favorite views any where. Worth the climb. #photography #hiking #getoutside to #nature

I was going to try a new church today but just couldn’t bring myself to. Will someday soon. Found this really cool church built in 1759 near my house. Hopefully they’re cool. I peruse a churches facebook page for pictures to see if anyone has trump crap on before I go.

Walz: It's like trump is stuck in the 80s. His music, his clothing, his thinking. I think the biggest myth perpetuated on this country that Donald Trump understands anything about business. He's bankrupted every single one he's been into, and now he's bankrupting this country

This trail was my baby before I got divorced. I logged countless miles on her. Gentle 6 miles out and back with 500 ft elevation. I cleared the shrubs, cut trees that had fallen, and ran my weed eater. Haven’t been there in a while. Glad someone is taking care of her. #trailrunning #nature

I’ve always asked what animal would surprise you the most on a trail. I live in Virginia in the US. There was once someone’s yak that escaped into the mountains. I think the animal that would startle me the most would be a giraffe. Or elephant.

The contempt they have for disabled children is rooted in a mistaken belief that there aren't too many of them. Estimates show that between 1-in-8 and 1-in-5 students in America have some kind of learning disability. There are an awful lot of SPED families out here, and we will *fight* this shit.
