In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
Lived a man who sailed to sea

I enjoyed 28 Years Later — intense and well-executed. But I’m not sure how the producers missed out on naming the structure on the poster.
Surely, #Bonehenge should have been their first choice.

We felt our first Tennessee earthquake this morning at 9:04 a.m. ET. Felt like a big truck going by, but with the added dimension of stuff on the walls rattling. Lasted about 20 seconds or so, and was epicentered about 40 miles away from our house.
