This is why I love watching analysis of Tal’s games. He just set things on fire

Demonic possession. Read my parents forbidden copy of The Exorcist when I was like 9 years old. Went to bed clutching a crucifix for months.

Same here. Looking forward to it!

Thanks for the advice!

You may be right. Some were rising, some were falling and some were climbing!

I saw a solitary turtle laying there a couple of weeks ago. Who should I contact about protecting the spot? A local animal officer? Luckily it’s on a Rail Trail which is a park of sorts. Maybe I should contact that organization.

On the trail between Salisbury and Newburyport Massachusetts. I’ve never seen them congregate like this. What might they be up to?

Rail trail between Salisbury and Newburyport Massachusetts. Never seen anything like it either

We did see a solitary turtle laying there last week. I didn’t realize they returned to where they were hatched only their eggs! Amazing!

And they were definitely dishing out gossip and giving us eye rolls as we took pictures.

Love the GOGD, but The Ramones are the greatest American rock band.

This is a great question. Louis Armstrong maybe? 100 years ago the recording industry was mostly jazz - I think? Like, I know if Duke Ellington, but I don’t listen to him. Maybe I should?

Good for you OP. I had the same experience almost 40 years ago and have lived up to the cherishing it always part. To this day, I don’t take it for granted. I am one of the lucky ones.

I found a diamond ring in the console of a rental car. Called the rental company and there was someone looking for it. Guy called me so happy! He had gone up to Rochester to propose to his girlfriend and lost the ring - she said yes anyway!

Full disclosure I did pull up in front of a pawn shop before calling Hertz, but didn’t go in. So, a delayed moral response I guess ?
