Today, I learned that the Diana Ross Billboard #1 song "Theme from Mahogany" was not originally written for the movie Mahogany. It was first released by Thelma Houston two years before the movie.

TIL that Deckers Creek was pretty significant rerouted when I-68 was built. The Brookhaven Road BFS/DQ basically sits where the original creek bed was.
Cindy Lavender-Bowe also dropped out of running for second vice-chair. Mayor Daniel Dudley from Wellsburg gets job by acclamation.
It appears that Sam Petsonk Brown pulled out of running for vice chair with Toriseva's defeat for chair. Pam Tucker-Cline from Nicholas County was the only candidate.
Mike Pushkin won reelection as @wvdemocrats chair, 43 for him vs 32 for Teresa Toriseva.
Somebody was hanging on to a tent pole and went flying with it. facebook.com/melissa.mcbeea…
Looks like there were injuries from one of the tents.
Next song: Dreams, by Fleetwood Mac. Meanwhile, chaos as the wind scrambles the hillside and sends the MAC tent flying.
@WVKamikazes @ryanhsmyth @mikecasazza I saw another video of when it went flying. (Tom Bloom has it on his Facebook.) Doesn't look like they did a very good job of anchoring it down. With the injuries, I suspect there will be some lawsuits.
When you have a 90 pound dog who is very afraid of thunderstorms, it’s not fun for anyone. Hoping his anxiety meds kick in soon.
@PowerWVNow I don’t think Trump has any plans other than lining his own pockets.
