Hunter Biden

The professional worriers will worry that Hunter Biden’s travails will dog his father in 2024. This, of course, is what Donald Trump’s supporters would like you to believe. I’m not seeing it yet.

I’m going to have to start regarding Pittsburgh as tornado country. There was the tornado watch a few days ago.^[1] Now, as I write this, there’s yet another, covering much of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.^[2]

I’m sitting in the South Fayette Library parking lot, running my notebook off their WiFi. A thunderstorm rolled through and I saw a notice from Allegheny County that the Clairton Works of U.S. Steel had been struck by lightning, forcing it to flare. But I’m still not seeing anything likely to yield a tornado. I’ll publish this and head home.
