Mark M. commented on a photo in 37: charlie walker, a story at last, the big pentecostal, garmin gremlin, windright, the dog count, reverse psychology

Ths picture alone has almost entirely put me off further visits to the US. Still, a cheap protein source - if you can kill it first...

Mark M. commented on 25: bad roads, 23 mph, next state, blocked roads, all that's left of him, georgia coast rail trail, nap time

I wonder whether an increased focus on cake/ ice-cream/ both could have improved things for you? 🤔

Huh. Interesting. I always mistakenly assumed it was from some guy named Kugel (although, come to think of it, I guess it still could if his ancestors were rotund). Now I’m curious about the leakage as well.

Well, Kugel is the German word for sphere.

Now I wonder how it leaked into English and became a specific word for sphere-shaped artifacts.

That was my first thought, and it could be since it was taken near the George Moody Middle School, but there's nothing I could find that indicates it's specifically for deaf students.

Maybe school for deaf?

Keep the hotel/motel ratings coming - I like seeing the variations and comparing to some of the unbelievable ones I stayed in crossing the US in 2007.

Yeah, I did the same thing. Here's a hint: My initials are GY, and you're frozen. What do you say to me?

Nah, only men and boys would even consider peeing in a pool.

Ha! Wish I'd thought of that! That IS what it's all about.
