David, if you got the drone photos of the group you have to show them. It's the law.

If corn oil comes from corn, olive oil comes from olives, sunflower oil comes form sunflowers, and coconut oil comes from coconuts, where does baby oil come from?

The signals for "Benton Harbor" on the CSX Grand Rapids Subdivision are located west of the Paw Paw River, and are actually in St. Joseph, MI.

Another reason why I am known as Mr. Irrelevant (and I have an award from RailroadFan.com to prove it :) ).

High speed internet was supposed to be available in 2022, but cables were finally installed this week. I used dialup until 2012, and have been using a Verizon ellipsis Jetpack since 2013. Since last year, I have had unlimited data, so I am wondering if it will be worth paying for high speed internet. I may ditch my Directv, as it is around $150/month now. It was $59 in 2007.
