Man on the Run
That is not a bad idea. Commentary is talking about a cartoon on the editorial page of today’s Chron hard copy. It is a kid wearing a cardboard file box with “Epstein Files” written on it trick or treating. I have a stack of empty cardboard file boxes here. Nice.

This is in the Trib today:
Federal food assistance payments to the nation’s poorest citizens will come to a halt on Saturday, the result of the second-longest government shutdown in U.S. history. It will be the first time the benefit has been interrupted since it began more than six decades ago.
More than 3.5 million low-income Texans are among the more than 40 million Americans receiving Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program (SNAP) payments each month. With Democrats demanding that Congress address expiring health insurance subsidies and Republicans refusing to negotiate until the government reopens, the parties have been locked in a stalemate over government funding for close to a month.
The USDA notified states that if the shutdown did not end by Oct. 27, SNAP benefits would be halted on Nov. 1.
MAGA Gov. Greg Abbott has been silent on this.
The MAGA Texas candidates for U.S. Senate have been silent on this.
Those that are going hungry have become the pawns in the government shutdown fight. That gives the advantage to MAGA, since they don’t care about the hungry. Stay tuned!

The featured photo is from “Today” this morning. Yep. Sir Paul McCartney is coming out with “Man on the Run” early next year. See this from PaulMcCartney.com:
After the break-up of the biggest band in the world, what comes next? Man on the Run, the new documentary featuring rare unreleased music and footage from Paul McCartney, premieres 25th February on Prime Video.
Man on the Run takes viewers on an intimate journey through Paul McCartney’s extraordinary life following the break-up of The Beatles and the formation of Wings with his wife, Linda. From Academy Award-winning director Morgan Neville, the film chronicles the arc of Paul’s solo career as he faces down a myriad of challenges while creating new music to define a new decade. Through unprecedented access to previously unseen footage and rare archival materials, the documentary captures Paul’s transformative post-Beatles era through a uniquely vulnerable lens.
Man on the Run, presented by Amazon MGM Studios, is produced by Tremolo, in association with MPL and Polygram Entertainment, will be released in select theaters and subsequently available on Prime Video February 25 in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Producers include Morgan Neville, Chloe Simmons, and Meghan Walsh for Tremolo; Scott Rodger and Ben Chappell for MPL; and Michele Anthony and David Blackman for Polygram Entertainment. Executive producers include Caitrin Rogers and Paul McCartney.
The film coincides with the release of Paul’s book Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run, which will be available on 4th November 2025, WINGS the definitive self-titled collection available on streaming and limited edition vinyl on 7th November, and Paul’s Got Back tour dates across North America this autumn.
I have followed Sir Paul since The Beatles days. I have been to a few of his concerts and I have quite a few of his albums. I love his tunes. I will be watching next February.
