I’m on the same Thunder Road kick! Just made my collection complete (so far). Please congratulate Brett personally on his excellent refresh.
I’m working on an organizer accessory for my copy. Not an insert, but a caddy for use during play. I want it to fold flat for storage.

Folks, public health isn’t a partisan issue, and it isn’t up for debate.
That's why I'm announcing tonight that Wisconsin will join the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global Response Network to keep our kids, our families, and our communities healthy and safe.

Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate🧧
The last Year of the Fire Horse began in '66 & saw anti-war protests & civil rights struggle. It was the year Rev. Jackson left seminary to join Dr. King’s Freedom Movement.
May 2026 bring New York the same bold change people deserve.

I was part of an Air Force flight crew that had John Cusack as a passenger in 2004.
The first and last quarters of the flight were mundane.
The middle half, which we spent flying repeatedly through Category 5 Hurricane Ivan, was decidedly less so.
