We were camping maybe 20 years ago on a river. About 3am, a ranger came by and warned everyone the river would rise 40 feet within 30 minutes so drag your tents up past the markings line. That was all the warning we had.
Kayakers and rafters came the next day from multiple states as the news spread.
Around 1970 my parents bought me a Bobby Sherman album for my birthday. It was my first non-childrens album. I asked for Steppenwolf Gold. It was their compromise to my louder taste in music. My mother became a huge fan of Sherman. When I finally got money to buy my own album, I bought Alice Cooper’s Killer, much to my parents chagrin. My rebellious years were short-lived however as interests changed quickly at that age.
It’s a cheap debate trick. Memorize a bunch of random facts then pounce when your opponent doesn’t know one. I’m surprised Ted, as a seasoned debater didn’t have a ready reply.

It won’t get mentions because its very regional, but I love the fries at Biscuitville. The biscuits are also excellent. Sad this restaurant closes at 2pm daily or I’d eat there more often.
I detest these bills too large that hardly anyone has read it. I’m quite sure Trump has not read his own BBB. I thought those days were gone of the old “you have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it”.
