@FreightAlley Has to also be some correlation to the EBT regulatory updates perhaps? https://t.co/0OcQZsKIDO

The Curse of Leatherlips
An Associated Press story, June 1, 1997, during another wet Memorial Tournament at the Muirfield Village Country Club in Dublin, Ohio, included this excerpt:
Rain is a common curse at the Memorial, interrupting or canceling more than one-third of the rounds over the last nine years. The 1990 tournament was shortened to 54 holes, with (Greg) Norman the winner.
Though there is no evidence that it is true, local lore has it that the course was built on an Indian burial ground.
In 1993, when the Memorial was delayed by rain for the fourth straight year and 11 of 18 years overall, Barbara Nicklaus tried to do something about it.
Arnold Palmer’s wife, Winnie, suggested that if Muirfield Village was built over an old cemetery that a glass of gin left at the burial site of Chief Leatherlips—it rests in the trees beyond the practice fairway—might mollify any angry spirits.
So, late Thursday night during the ’93 tournament and again during the Friday afternoon suspension, Barbara Nicklaus made trips to a nearby cemetery and monument to Chief Leatherlips. Both times she left a glass with gin in it. Jack even drove her Thursday night, albeit reluctantly.
“I had nothing to do with it, absolutely nothing,” he said at the time in mock disbelief. “She just said, ‘Maybe I’ll give them a little gift this year, and maybe next year it’ll be something really nice.’”
Not even that worked.
Being the most successful golfer in history carries clout with the USGA, but not with the weather.

Today, we remember a legend.

On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.

Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.

He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.

Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.

Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸
