Surprisingly, yes. The holy grail of magnet fishing enthusiasts are weapons (that are then usually turned over to police).

I haven’t tried metal detecting, but we went magnet fishing once. Caught lots of fish hooks and one mostly rusted but still intact shock absorber.

Dad let me watch Poltergeist when I was 6 and Mom let me watch The Shining when I was 7. I was also 7 when the Thriller video came out, and I think that scared me more.

The tightest end dump pile is still a fat line.

This is an amusing sentence out of context.

Maybe it wanted to turn around. Busch Gardens is just 40 miles back.

A very excellent point. I should have realized.

He might not have been fully up to speed yet. This sign is just past a weigh station (I’ve driven this stretch many, many times), and VDOT said he had just gone through the station. Though that doesn’t answer why the bed was up. Could have bumped the switch?

:::Edit to strike through this nonsense:::I am leaning toward the other explanation of drive shaft breaking and pole vaulting the trailer into the sign.

If that’s the case, why did they arrest the driver on reckless driving? Sounds like pure accident. Even if it was negligent maintenance, that’s not the driver’s fault, that’s on the trailer owner. Right? (IANACDL 😄)

To someone with ADHD, this is like telling them to just pull ya’self up by yer bootstraps. 🙃

On a scale from 1 to 10, that trailer was at a Snoop Dogg.

You did it all for the wookie, the wookie, the wookie…

My motivation

Bertolli chicken parm and some garlic Texas toast is almost downright fancy, but it’s 100% dump, heat, eat.

A picture of my grandfather standing next to a woman, taken before he met my grandmother, and she is holding a baby. It didn’t surface until after grandpa’s funeral. It was taken 500 miles away from where my family lives. I live in that other city now. I wonder if I’ve met my half aunt or uncle randomly in passing?

Am Appalachian. This sounds about right.

Have you tried used vacuums from op shops/ thrift stores/ flea markets?

New vacuums in the budget category are not built to stand up to daily use. It may be worthwhile to look for a secondhand premium brand.

I’ve rescued wasps from the pool as well even though they & I are mortal enemies. 1) it was in the water with me & I didn’t want it considering me a liferaft, and 2) smushing it was not an option. It flew away, hopefully to tell its brothers that I’m worthy of a brief ceasefire.

Here Baby Jesus, we brought you some nice smelling stuff, pretty shiny metal, and a kitten.

Fun anecdote, in DC the east/west streets are named A St, B St, C St, and so on. But not i street. Capital i could be confused with L Street, so all the signs are written “Eye St”

I took it off my phone but it’s still on my tablet. rip rif
