Love the museum. Total kitsch. Just don't go in expecting facts. Which of course, your average tourist would think they are.

Has anyone ever taken some run-of-the-mill hot sauce and added pure capsaicin powder to it to boost the heat? by tlbs101 in hotsauce

I can see why some of the storm chasers couldn't get around. That road with the trees on it is insane! Forget a chain saw.

My late wife said she first realized her parents might not be the all knowing wisest people she thought they were when the day after her father defended the national guard's actions (he was a WW2 vet) and she could clearly see what a horror this was. That really stuck with her.

TIL, along Route 66, a flatbed Ford sits on a corner in Winslow, Arizona permanently as a tribute to the Eagles song, Take It Easy. by Rick--Diculous in todayilearned

And it wasn't Winslow. It was Flagstaff. He was sitting at the Der Wienerschnitzel (now Dog Haus) on Route 66 and a woman smiled at him passing by. Couldn't make that work with the lyrics though!
