BOONE FRIENDS:
Hearing that @appstate has opened the central dining hall on campus.

They have power, internet, and are serving food. You do not need to be a student, if you need help.

I don’t know who to credit for this video yet. Will share when I know. It is a local and the video was shared in my family’s group chat. Downtown Chimney Rock, North Carolina is completely gone 😔

I sailed on Celebrity in 1995 so it started well before 1997. A typo perhaps? ⁦@BusinessInsider⁩ https://t.co/tgRmxq8U9u

I just had the best burger from Bisqit in #PawleysIsland. A Carolina burger with cheddar. Good cheddar too. I don’t know why anyone would put American cheese on a burger.

SOUND ON!

Do you hear that?

It's silence. That's the sound of no one approaching or touching a fawn that, though it may look abandoned, is actually doing just fine.

A wonderful sound.

A perfect sound, one might say.
