It is Halloween Week and here is a picture thread to brighten your day. Canadian animals in each province dressed up and out trick-or-treating. Enjoy :) British Columbia: Otter as a sailor 🧵1/14

@Candace07 Was going to say… don’t think Ruth’s Chris has a salad bar… but I went to their Pittsburgh location for my anniversary a few years ago and it’s a meal I still have dreams about.

But now we’re back in business.

I made reservations to take my mom to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse - thinking she’d be excited. She was not.

@bitmapped Bring on the direct flights to O’Hare!

@bitmapped Also on the McKnight Road location in Pittsburgh!

@mtp5 I hope you had a nice time in Morgantown!

I was at the PSU/WVU football game yesterday, and I was tickled to see that the locals made such a special effort to welcome me.

Hi all! I’m working on a story for @DailyAthenaeum featuring faculty members who departed from WVU as a result of “Academic Transformation” and where they are now. Please message me if interested in an interview!

@bitmapped @JVWVU1 That seems generous, but to admit it’s worth less would be to admit he’s let it become a ghost of its former self. I can’t even comprehend the scale of the deferred maintenance.

@robertgp421 @bitmapped That was my first visit and it was love at first sight! I noticed the Greenbrier started going downhill around 2016. I’m following reviews online and it hurts to see how bad it is. For the price, you’re better off at the Homestead. I hope Omni or Marriott swoop in here.

@janetfwv @bitmapped I remember one visit of yours in a snowstorm!

@CraigBaird The National Dream and The Last Spike were transformative reads for me when I was a teenager. Love your passion for Pierre Berton!

I know he isn't everyone's cup of tea but without Pierre Berton showing me that Canadian history was fascinating, my life would be very different. Happy 104th birthday Pierre! Here he is rocking a great look in 1983. 📸Boris Spremo

Today is Canada Day, but it took a long time for it to have that name officially. Let's learn more about the history of Canada's birthday! 🇨🇦👇 The story of Canada Day begins on July 1, 1867 when the Province of Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia became Canada. 🧵1/7

@bitmapped That’s also not how you spell Pierpont 🤦‍♀️

@CraigBaird You’re making me miss my old club, but it closed after combined issues with rolling out Pathways and COVID 😢 Good luck with your talk!

Time for Toastmasters and my sixth speech in a row.

@Candace07 There is a stop in Essex, MT right at the Izaak Walton Inn (might be called something else now) that I’ve always dreamed of getting off and staying at. I did coach a lot when I was younger, now I love getting a roommette and loading up my Kindle.

@janetfwv That’s exactly what I was looking at - Cardinal to Chicago, then Empire Builder to Glacier National Park in Montana. Seems like they have a station right in the park. Debating whether a plane ticket or roomette would be better ultimately (and less headache).

Hi friends. Has anyone taken a cross-country trip via train? Curious about the experience.

Today is the day, #Morgantown and #WVU community! Come on down for the Big Goodbye, 7-9pm, at 131 Pleasant. Support all of us forced out by the #wvumistake and #academicdecimation! @123pleasant All are welcome!

West Virginia people! Tomorrow is the final day to register to vote / update your information for the May primary. Stay engaged and vote!

@hokieandrew @AmericanAir Bureau of Transportation Statistics keeps this data, this link might be a start transtats.bts.gov/OT_Delay/OT_De…

Federal law requires the largest operators to maintain a visible list of the on time performance and delay time statistics for all flights that originate or terminate in the United States. Where can one find that information for @AmericanAir please?

@PhilKabler But it’s hurtful. WV has a dynamic immigrant population and supporting brutal treatment of migrants at the southern border sends a lousy message to progressive immigrants like me.

If I were a Democrat delegate, I would be pragmatic, and conclude that another two years of fighting the good fight against the supermajority is more important than voting the right way on a meaningless resolution. 5/5

Don't want to dive too deep into criticism directed at House Democrats who voted for HCR 64 (supporting actions Texas is taking at the Mexican border), except to say that when I covered the Legislature on a daily basis, I almost never wrote about concurrent resolutions. 1/ 5

What a day to be an immigrant in West Virginia! @HollerWV
