It doesn’t. The story of the fall is relayed in a flashback/song by a poet sung in front of Odysseus but no one knows who he is.

Delta Companion Pass
About as useful as a dick at a roller derby.

Kidding, but only sort of. Man, they really limit the passes.

To answer the question above, I’ve never tried to move the deadline. Interested in answer to that as well.

Congrats to the Longhorn ladies. Nice run in the tourney. Left no doubt about it yesterday.

That’s shocking.

Here is an older thread. The short answer is that isn’t really much to do at the lake but be at the lake. I love it but it is what it is.

38 years old with stage 4 colon cancer is beyond tragic.
Happened to one of my best friends who was also a true Razorback fan. Breaks my heart. Go Cocks. And WPS. Just absolutely brutal. Still can’t wrap my head around it and it’s been three years.
Sloss Furnace and the old Tannehill ironworks could be of interest.
They’re playing the East-West Classic at Rickwood on June 19. Rickwood is an incredible park that is worth a visit. The Negro League museum is also worth a visit, it’s very close to Regions Park.

Barber Motorsports park is worth a visit if you have any interest in motorcycles.

We have a fully restored vaudeville theater and a fully restored silent movie theater with the original house organ. I would go see someone read the phone book at either. They are beautiful.

What do you like to do? Museums, golf, outdoors? I can make others reccs in BHM.
Cabot Cove is an exceptionally dangerous place. That can’t be disputed. Lots of smuggling and blackmail as well.

That said, a number of the Cabot Cove episode murders did not occur in the city and were not committed by Cabot Cove residents. Death Rides the Bus, the boarding school/Prometheus Society episode, and retired cop/unsolved murder come to mind.
I’m the same way with Joyland, despite hearing good things about it.

I’ve been once, several years ago. I took the waterfall trail which was very steep and involved a lot of stairs. It looks like the west rim trail may be doable for your group.

I ate somewhere near there and it was fine. Can’t find it on map and wasn’t worth going out of your way regardless.

Seeing the hang gliders go off near there was cool.
The corporate feel for the newer Homewood locations of Rodney Scott, Hero, and Little Donkey were awful. Removed any soul those places had. And the whole Tasty Town execution was just bizarre. I’ve been baffled by their apparent success for several years.
Yesterday I started my 10th consecutive rewatch of Murder, She Wrote. At this point, I figure I will do at least 12, one for each season.

The Murder, She Wrote festival was held this weekend in Mendocino. I’ve calendared it for next year and hope to attend.

Just left there. It wasn’t awful. In and out in roughly 30 mins. Was my fault I had to go at all since I missed the deadline to renew on-line.
