    1982 Atlanta Braves Retrospective

    One of our fine posters here may have theorized the same thing (and I didn't see it) and let's make it clear before the post that I know basic economics at best, and I'm nothing close to an expert as my bank account would prove. The economy was growing in the third quarter of 2024 at 2.8%...

    Snake Experts: What Is This?

    So the other day I’m in Twin Falls, Idaho - right next to the Evel Knievel ramp - and nearly stepped on this little guy (the picture is a focus closeup, he wasn’t overly big). Anybody know what and how you can tell? I’m guessing copperhead but any input is appreciated.
