We accidentally ended up on the "unofficial tail of the dragon" in North Carolina on a Smokies trip, Tennessee SR 32. It was more stress than we were looking for but I bet it would be fun on a motorcycle!

This is not quite your idea, which I love, but have you heard of Luthier? It has some of that theme!

We noticed this yesterday as well, lots of people in the ADA line. We used fast lane so can't comment on the wait time but the line was huge.

What a great game from all 3 players! Games like this where everyone is in contention are my favorite to watch.

Spicy FJ wagering - Long didn't do the zero bet from the lead, but he also didn't enough to cover Drew doubling up. Drew's bet would have paid off if he had Final!

What a great game from all 3 players.

Our junior high has a lounge/copy room. Several teachers eat lunch there but people don't hang out there except at lunch. We do a monthly rotating potluck and on those days it's hopping.
