#NASCAR driver JimmyJohnson announced that 2020 will be his last full-time season. He spoke at a press conference Thursday at @teamhendrick in #ConcordNC. Great shot by Bob Leverone. #Repost @zappasdarkroom ・・・ NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson looks for some divine assistance as he answers a question at his retirement press conference.

Thursday night @WFAE honored Ed Williams with the inaugural Ed Williams First Amendment Award. He was interviewed onstage by WFAE's @tommyltomlinson ... Ed is a WFAE board member and for more than 30 years was editorial page editor of The Charlotte Observer. He is a defender of the #1stAmendment and, as the Rev Ben Boswell of Myers Park Baptist Church noted, a leader in the cause of liberating the South from its racist past. His many friends and former colleagues celebrated his achievents and praised him as unflinchingly honest, compassionate, self-effacing, principled, provocative, progressive, prickly. Ed said several times during the evening that in moments of conflict, "You need to decide who you want to be." Words to live by. (Ed's award took the form of a Kevin Siers cartoon.)

The other day I posted this photo on @wfae of a @ridecats commuter bus in the I-77 Express toll lanes. I wondered (and so did @matt_hastedt ): Does that mean the buses are now taking advantage of the lanes? I asked CATS and got this statement. "CATS will begin utilizing the I-77 Express lanes in the near future. ... CATS has not had access to the lanes until they opened to the public recently. That being said, our team is now currently in the process of training all bus drivers on routing adjustments including how to ingress and egress the toll lanes." So, stay tuned. Thanks for the info @juliann.sheldon #I77tolls #I77
