I still use an atlas. I have the Rand McNally 50 state atlas and a state road map in the car. When I go on a road trip, I usually look and map out a route before I leave, then keep the atlas as a reference to see where I'm at. It's also helpful if something comes up and I need to adjust the route.

I bought a new one a year ago after spilling a drink on my old one. The new one isn't spiral bound and I don't like that. Would like to find a spiral bound one again.

My dad passed from it. Just awful. He couldn’t remember who I was. Talk about gut wrenching…

My dad did too. He remembered who I was, though, until the end. He was always mixed up about where he was and what he was doing. I figured it was his mind scrambling reality with memories. I always went along with it trying to figure out where in the past his mind was. There was something morbidly fascinating about it.

I could certainly understand this fellow in the article doing this. I would strongly consider it myself in the same circumstances.

Cities like Austin, Charlotte, and Nashville are unrecognizable from 25 years ago. I grew up in Nashville and live here once again, and its a completely different place from when I left in 2003. Some good. Some bad. All in all, its a decent t place to raise a family and own a business. Id imagine Charlotte is the same.

I grew up near Charlotte. It was a good place then, but all the yankees have ruined it.

Exactly. They start advertising they gave the school tens of millions of dollars to fire a coach, they'll start having all kinds of people hassling them for money.

That’s actually kinda hilarious

I agree.

It's so over the top it has a real satirical feel to it.

I can't go anywhere without my sunglasses. Call me dependent. It even makes driving in the rain easier.

Same here. I started wearing them When I had cataracts. I couldn't see to drive without them. After surgery, the doctor told me to wear some 100% uv blocking sunglasses while recovering, plus was sensitive to bright lights.

They often have multiple accepted answers. Dont overthink it.

Also the category names can give a clue as to what they're looking for.

Depends on your mattress and what topper. A topper isn't going to help a mattress that doesn't support you well, but it can help soften a mattress that may be a bit firm for you.

bought a "cooling" topper

Most mattresses or toppers that are made of foam that advertise themselves as cooling is snake oil. There's just so much you can do to reduce the heat in foam, especially memory foam. The latex toppers, though, are suppossed to be better. It feels very different thought.
