Levy Trail 10K/Levy Trail South

I walked the Levy Trail 10K this morning in 1:45:41, with splits of 16:54, 17:10, 16:49, 16:06, and the next two miles in 35:30.
As I walked, it occurred to me that National Public Radio is quickly going the way of Fox News. I was embarrassed by the extent to which its spokesmen saluted Twitter's can-of-worms decision to counterbalance commentary it deems untruthful with evidence to the contrary. As a result, all the liberals cheer and all the conservatives fold their arms, scowl, and grumble that big brother is on his way (which, of course, he is, but this ain't him. This is just another example of how unfettered free enterprise comes with a cost and does not care whose butt it bites).*
I walked Levy Trail South early this evening in 34:50.

*Pam's Boy's assessment that NPR is headed toward a biased slant comparable to that of Fox News should be taken with a pinch of salt in that it was based on a sample size limited to the two clowns who blew horns and tossed confetti as they reported Twitters' response to President Trump's tweet about the fraud potential of absentee ballots and two journalists who criticized the president for an hour earlier this week with no contrary voice other than a few whispers offered by the program's host. Pam's Boy remains an NPR fan but will cease to be if NPR becomes a voice in favor of and/or in opposition to any specific political ideology, e.g. Fox News, and consequently a participant in an attempt to brainwash us
