And it's 5 miles of this!!!

This bridge has two lanes each way: the inner lane is a see-through grate that causes the car to zig-zag back & forth against oncoming traffic - & the outer lane has no barrier but a thin metal tube seemingly designed to launch your vehicle off the bridge & out of the way if you hit it.

I misread the screen cap as being from the "the University of Oklabama" without my glasses & I feel like the universe is trying to communicate something very important to us. Maybe it's that this hillbilly excuse for a college is being run by cowardly pieces of shit with their fingers in the air.

Me too! It's scary enough when it's sunny and calm! Would never go across when it's like this. Ever.

“The Mackinac Bridge performing another disappearing act in a snow squall this morning as viewed looking north from Mackinaw City. The Bridge Authority has issued a Blowing Snow Warning for motorists crossing the Bridge, advising of limited visibility and requiring max speeds of 20 MPH.”

Ah, fun! Snow used to be that for us when we were kids, too. We lived next to a VFW parking lot and my dad would plow the snow into hills sometimes 6 feet high. Had so much fun climbing on them, having snowball fights, etc. Now snow is a chore - and sometimes a mortal danger! 😆 But pretty....

Ah, my apologies. [In the comics this is the device used to get the good guys to fight one another, a genuine misunderstanding, and see just how well Jubilee might stand up against Michelangelo for instance. Now we'll never know!]

Playing BG3 as a female elven Wildshape Druid and I've never been more relaxed. The game pairs you're with two female NPCs at the beginning and together the three of us are cleaning up the Sword Coast.

The XMen cartoon opening would like a word. And you know you can hear the catchy song in your head as you watch this.

Oh, ok, so those are the seeds! Which were hidden inside the lanterns! Very cool! I never noticed this one in bloom so I couldn't identify it. Thank you, I owe you one!

I feel like that makes more sense given what bittersweet vines and fruits look like. But are these the seeds of the lanterns? Tiny shrunken lanterns?

Thanks for helping, Charles! Ford Motor Company now provides this stipend to retirees in lieu of insurance-until-Medicare (what it once did) and that there are likely over 100k past employees receiving it (and fortunate to have it).

Ah, I see, that’s what I assumed. Thank you so much for weighing in, I really appreciate it! Of course we’ll take the bird in the hand which although only 60% of the amount of the credits still helps offset the doubling of our premiums.

Just wonderful. Congratulations! And thank you for giving these two beauties a home! What are their names?

Yes, isn't it instructive? I can't imagine being on the Lakes on that kind of weather.
