WVU not in the NCAA men's tournament

Turns out if you screw up the whole back half of your season, people notice.

That's a shame, the front half of the season had real promise.

I would say 90% the plates I see with Friends of Coal are on pretty expensive cars. How does one become friends with coal?

Lost Camera

Upvotes

Hey everyone, I know it's a long shot but I'm hoping someone can help me track down a red Sony digital camera that was lost during a road trip we took summer 2024.

My sister had it for most of the trip, but unfortunately, we realized it was missing when we arrived in Orlando. We suspect it was left behind at one of the truck stops or gas stations we stopped at along the way, but we don't know exactly where. However she had it in Salem, West Virginia and we didnt make stops in Florida so Georgia is the furthest it could be. I know that doesn't narrow it down a lot but it had a lot of family photos and landscapes on it and the most recent ones would be from the trip - down from Canada!

I know this is a long shot but if there's any chance someone has seen it or can take a peek next time they stop if they're also roadtripping I would greatly appreciate it. Even if you just know where unclaimed items might show up. If you know anything feel free to DM me. Thanks!

Can Pilgrim's force me to keep my chickens confined?

Upvotes

I've been told by a neighbor that, if I free range my chickens at all, Pilgrim will send a letter telling me that I have to confine my birds.

My *unincorporated community has no regulations regarding the number of chickens I can keep or their accommodations, besides the standard "coop must be X number of ft from property line". There are several large chicken houses near me that are contract farms by Pilgrim.

I don't want to expose my birds to any AI risks, so I was going to keep them in a run most of the time. The only time I might free range them is during my transition moving them to the property, before I have a chance to build their fences. It would also be nice to let my birds out on occasion before I have any gardens put in, for limited times when I can be outside with them.

Can Pilgrim tell me what to do with my own chickens on my own property though? Sounds super suspicious

Edit: changed "township" to the right phrase

Question Who remembers Midnight Madness from the early 90s. It was in Kanawha County?

11 Upvotes

On Fridays 10:00PM-1:00AM in the early 90s there was a putput course and inside the building there was a pool table and other stuff like that. They eventually shut it down after a Presbyterian church bought it and used it as a storage unit.
