Heading out. Anybody need anything?
A little gas station market with a few pumps and cars in front of it. The name across the front reads “MI-DEE MART” in three locations. On the steep slant up to the roof, the letters “DE I” with a space between the “E” and “I” where the faint outline of the “L” spelling “DELI” once was.

In the 60s when Dolly Parton was fresh to Nashville and her record company at the time didn't know what to do with her yet, she released a few incredible girl group/pop/r&b tunes.

My stepdad loves to golf and, in retirement, works at a city golf course. Over dinner, my sister asked him how golf courses even make money. He said “They don’t. A golf course doesn’t exist to make a profit. They exist to be enjoyed, to enrich the communities they’re in.”

IUDs are increasingly popular but for some this birth control comes with an unwelcome surprise: pain, sometimes extreme.

Medical providers in Kentucky are taking pain more seriously, but work remains, patients say.

From Zakros. 1500-1450 BC Top R - Minoan flask with a rounded body, short cyclindrical neck which flares at the rim, and two small curved handles attached between the top of the spout and the shoulders of the body. Decorated in “Marine Style” which depicts an almost cartoon-like octopus with wide eyes and sucker-lined tentacles which writhe around the vase. Other decorative sea-motifs include sea urchins, seaweed and rocks. Height 27cm. From Palaikastro, 1500-1450 BC Bottom L - alabastron, broad at the base, swelling outwards into a fuller belly before narrowing near the top with a very short cyclindrical neck and a wider flat rimmed mouth. Decorated in “Marine Style” with a wide-eyed octopus among rocks. From Knossos Little Palace, 1450-1370 BC Bottom R - krater with rounded body narrowing at the bottom towards the foot. Wide flaring mouth and rim with black painted wavy decoration, and two sturdy handles attached on each side between the top of the mouth and shoulders of the vessel.

69 miles (nice) of the Ohio River were designated a National Water Trail earlier this year, which means that full stretch is mapped with access points, tourism opportunities, and other amenities.

And it's been federally recognized as a critical natural resource!
