Movie Quiz Day
Hello, and welcome the first ever Movie Quiz Day here on the blog.
Do you know which movie’s final scene was filmed right here, and this otherwise forgettable crossroads in the wilds of the northern Texas panhandle?
And here’s a bonus question: out of all the otherwise forgettable crossroads, why this one?
Answers:
Question One: Castaway
Question Two: Beats me.

Dam!
This is how bad it is: the lake looked pretty full to us, compared to how we remembered it. But looking across the water at the dam, it was clear that it was still very low, a detail confirmed by my favorite lake-monitoring website: this poor little lake is at only 11.5% of capacity.

PS. I know it’s weird to have any kind of a lake-monitoring website, let alone a favorite one.
