Elvis scored 2 Top 20 hits in 1972.

•Burning Love...this classic rocker soared to #2 on bilboard,just missing the top spot.
It did get to #1 on cashbox.
Worldwide hit...easily going Gold and showing he could still rock it.
One of his GREATEST recordings.
•Seperate Ways...reached #20 on bilboard...recorded the same week he and Priscilla split.This hauntingly beautiful,deeply personal gem is a real treasure.
Elvis was deeply private....but intimately personal with his music.He opens up on this one....and it's B-Side...Always On My Mind...recorded at the same session.
Seperate Ways/Always On My Mind may have been the most personal single release he ever did.

I don't know, but I'm not swallowing that ocular dimension, now, maybe those rods/ cones are of a detailed calibration in surpassing the capabilities of human eyesight ,but not of physical Dimension ,,,who was that one member who hobby photos eagles/owls,,,was that @Silver Surfer ? he'd be of best judgment in this one.

The first Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise opened September of 1952....in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Then why didn't they call it Utah Fried Chicken?

An adult mountain lion can jump vertically upwards of 18 ft and can jump horizontally between 20-40 feet!

I can jump vertically 19 feet when being chased by a mountain lion. Other than then, I can clear 8 inches.

Why do so many restaurants advertise "home made", when it's made in the restaurant?

Why do so many restaurants advertise "home made", when it's made in the restaurant?

I know but that's the buzz like hand crafted brews and spirits.

The other thing about "home made" is that if that's so good, why are people going out to eat so much? And some of the frightening creatures I have seen working at fast food joints, I am really glad it's restaurant made and not made in their homes. I don't even want some of them touching the bag my sammich is in.
