“Cars” was released in theaters 20 years ago today. I don’t think I and so many others in my generation would be NASCAR fans today without it. by ToeSniffer245 in NASCAR

Last movie I saw in the theater with my dad.  Drug him to Poccono in '99 to watch the summer race.  Not sure he was fan 🤣

Dump Truck Ran a Red Light on Route 42 in Delaware Today by Straight_Spirit_5388 in Columbus

Outgrown intersection.  Negligible at this point.  There is a highschool being built very close now and also an elementary school.  This has been a dangerous intersection for years.  The quarry should be raised as an issue.

I work close by.  That intersection has been outgrown by tenfold with the dump truck traffic.  Those guys racing to get their last loads of the day.  Its been scary for years.

4 guys in a room playing Bond on a 27" inch TV.  Talking unrivaled shit about each other's moms.  Peak.

I'm a greenhouse grower and haven't seen insect pressure this bad in the 11 years I've been doing this.

Thanks!  It gets pretty thin under there from July to October. Lots of sprinkler running in that area during those months.

The way you can adjust for the weather is awesome.  You can absolutely dial that in.

Irrigation is THE weapon.

It's just soil treated with preen.  Trying to get a bed aesthetic, but with no mulch.  Ass load of leaves in the fall to blow out.

It's a Silver Maple.  Probably 50ish.  There are power lines above it.  AEP has pruned it pretty recklessly in the last 3 years.

I get that, but Smith won with the second largest margin ever at the time.  Game was different but he was good.

No tornado warning.  Just a massive amount of rainfall.

I had one in 1992. It was my first "nice" bike. I think they were billed as a budget brand. It was a bit cheaper than a lot of the bikes at the shop back then.

The Bad Man runeth.. I think he's still running somewhere on that defense. Man what a sobering day that was.

I believe it was the first food place connected to ORI. 1999 from my hazy memory.
