Good Morning! Today is Friday, October 3, 2025 and it’s National Body Language Day and, damn, a continuation of you can’t believe everything you read on the internet day.
Either someone intentionally “reinterpreted” an event or AI is engaging in creative writing for one of the things listed for today. It’s a toss up.
The INNformer is out for distribution. Most places in Monroe County will be getting it today do to a surprise insert that arrive without notice. We work hard to accommodate our advertisers including when they drop ship 3,000 fliers unexpectedly.
On this day in 42 BC the First Battle of Philippi took place, pitting Mark Antony and Octavian against Caesar's assassins Brutus and Cassius. Philippi is in modern Macedonia, in the Mediterranean.
Southeast of us in Barbour County is also the county seat of Philippi. The county was named after Virginia lawyer Philip P. Barbour and it was intended that the county seat also to be named in honor of him, only- as a tradition- using the Latinized feminine form of his first name, Philippa. However, because of misspellings and confusion over the name’s origin- some thought the town was named after that key and historic battle and not after the lawyer, Phillippa because Philippi.
Weather:

Currently at our Downtown Sistersville News Command Center it is 50 degrees under clear skies. When news happens it better not be today, I’ve got too much work to do.
