They look like security to keep the groupies away.

No they don't get a full pension. They get a small pension (FERS), but only if they retire from the agency, not if they leave. Most of their retirement is the TSP, the government's version of a 401K and any social security. Health insurance will vary.... Depends upon your location. In the...

Never saw a rotating flame broiling grill. It's always been a conveyor belt through the flames.

Remember when they would have little specks of unblended chocolate in them? Delicious.

Wendy's cooks the patties on a grill, its Burger king that does the flame broiled thing. But they add seasonings to the meat to enhance that flame broiling.

Or Cedar Fair didn't want to pay the licensing fee for the Intimidator name anymore.

Weren't there pics at the start of construction of the boats being sent out on a flat bed for work? I think the logs ARE finished.

They should have saved some later effort and just put "Late 2024" in now.

It seems like an odd setup... I can't be from sewer/water connections in the pad. They should be below the current center location. They would have to extend the piping, which would cost money.... I wonder if these cabins are already made and sold by a manufacturer and Disney just ordered...

You will loose that bet. If the first cabins come online this summer, they would have had to started construction early last year. You need the amenities finished before you start selling.

Not only clearing, but underground infrastructure was installed and they started pouring concrete footers. Then they covered it all over with dirt.

Don't forget, that was part of the deal the railroads made with federal government to allow them to stop offering passenger service back in the 70's.

So that's what that switch does.... Everyone was too scared to flip it.
