The 17 Whiskies (or PoitΓ­ns) of St. Paddy's Day - Day 7: lots of giant old oak trees in Charleston, so the Boann Winter Solstice 2025 Oak King seems appropriate

I could think of added places to visit (not downplaying zoo's. we love good zoo's --including the one in Dublin) - but o4d.com

That is some scary competition. Some really solid bases and then some flyers that have serious hops

Except for the times they add to it ;)

I can't imagine your own emotional journey writing it (not comparing it to Lamonte's at all)

Just finished reading @ricktulsky.bsky.social 's new book "Injustice Town" (www.amazon.com/Injustice-To...). At the beginning, I'm thinking "this had to have been in the 50s or 60s." It was 90s forward. By the end, I'm thinking, "this is the norm in today's America." A sad but profound wakeup call.

But you had to take a road to get there

When my daughter was young, she would put on a Belle dress and walk around the basement (the village) reading a book) and acting out Belle. I think I saw Beauty and the Beast about 100 times

Going to or from CLT, you probably fated yourself to this

Is there a garden co-op surrounding the facility?
