The route *seems* longer than I thought, but at least we’ll make good time.

I enjoyed 28 Years Later — intense and well-executed. But I’m not sure how the producers missed out on naming the structure on the poster.
Surely, #Bonehenge should have been their first choice.

There was a notable increase in the size of major recalls in April, according to the @carfax.com Recall Tracker. Pickup truck engines, brake line concerns and backup cameras are all at risk. See more: www.carfax.com/recall-tracker

We felt our first Tennessee earthquake this morning at 9:04 a.m. ET. Felt like a big truck going by, but with the added dimension of stuff on the walls rattling. Lasted about 20 seconds or so, and was epicentered about 40 miles away from our house.

Well, we all sensed this team would lose a step without Kolek & Oso. Some folks want to bitch about it, but the program is so far ahead of where we were under the last coach. #Marquette has plenty to solve, esp for the big spots, but well done #mubb, for another exciting season. Do better next year.
