Endangered salamander found yesterday.

This is a rare critter and even more interesting is its outside its known range.

Gas just got cheap!

As everyone heads to the ballots around Ohio, remember that the recent drop of around 50¢ in gas prices was because the Republican majority legislature declared a gas tax holiday in time for election season. All to likely buy your vote with taxes. This will end after the election. Prepare for $5/gal gas around the holiday season. Vote accordingly.

The end of an Air-a

The local Get Go has gotten rid of free air for your tires. It was a nice ride while it lasted.

I went in to the store to buy a pop and asked, even though I already knew the answer, if people were complaining that air was no longer free. The clerk assured me they were.

Way back, I'm thinking the mid-80s, my dad pulled into a Shell or Sunoco in Middletown (I don't remember which station ... he does to this day ... he's now 90) to get gas and air. They had installed a pay-per-use air pump. He got back in his car and drove the short distance to a locally-owned place (one that likely still had a garage attached) and got gas/air there. For the last 40 years he's not gotten gas at Shell (maybe Sunoco) unless he's had not other choice.

I likely won't take position with Get Go. Having said that, I'd always driven just a little farther, if needed, to get to this station just because they had free air even when I didn't need air ... you know, just out of appreciation. I'll likely get gas as the closest station now.

Good Ol GOP, vote blue

Truly sad that when you get a text like this they can't even be bothered to tell you why you should support their side. They know they're wrong, and don't want you to know why.

Hosted and his campaign made up an ad to smear Brown.

For context; the ad is of a woman named Soren talking about how she was forced into sex change surgery as a minor, and tries to suggest Sherrod Brown supports this kind of thing.

Reporter Morgan Trau at News 5 Cleveland did some digging and found that not only is Soren a resident of Texas, not Ohio, but her surgeries were done at 19, meaning she was an adult at the time.

This is unacceptable, and we need to show people like this that we won't take their attempts at deceit lying down! Vote for Sherrod Brown, not just for the sake of trans rights, but for the sake of protecting the sanctity of truth in our state!

Edit; I meant Husted, not Hosted lol.

Ohio candidates find body in Maumee River while shooting campaign video in downtown Toledo

TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - Toledo Fire and Rescue crews pulled a body from the Maumee River on Thursday. Now we’re learning that two statewide candidates shooting a campaign video were the ones who called authorities for help.

Ohio Libertarian candidates for governor and secretary of state, Don Kissick and Tom Pruss, told reporters on Thursday that they were filming a campaign video in downtown Toledo when a teenager approached them, saying he thought he saw a body in the water.

Kissick and Pruss followed the teen to the riverbank and discovered a body floating near a pile of rocks, Cleveland.com reported. Pruss then called 911 for help.

A Toledo Fire and Rescue spokesperson told 13 Action News that an investigation is underway and information about the person’s identity will come from the coroner’s office after an autopsy is completed.

This story will be updated with the name of the person whose body was found once that information is released.

...

Tom Pruss said privately when asked how he was doing that they're okay. They've "old guys" who have seen people pass before. (Kissick, a war veteran running for Governor, is staunchly opposed to war and supports Defend the Guard, legislation that would prevent the Ohio National Guard from being deployed without a Congressional declaration of war.) He said it's tragic, and he's most concerned for the kid who discovered the body, who was very shaken, and for the family.

A 2-year study of 18 Ohio farms found one pollinator conservation strategy works better than any other: planting native flowers, especially when paired with a few other simple habits, such as reduced mowing and cutting insecticide use. 🌼

I’m collecting badges from hikes or significant places in Ohio. Does anyone have any recommendations? Driving is no issue as long as it’s worth it.

The cryptozoology badge is from the Mothman museum.

I voted

Just do it

I did not vote for even one of them. There were quite a few uncontested offices in my area and we’re all Republican. I did not even Mark one. I even heard the guy behind me declare Democrat even though you don’t have to declare yourself for the midterm. That is extremely rare here. We are deep red in this area
