One of the most anticipated American swim meets of all-time is fully underway, with day one prelims kicking off inside Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday morning. If there’s one thing that USA Swimming made sure we knew, it’s how unprecedented these trials are, with it being inside a football stadium and all that. The organization, as well as the Indy Sports Corp, have also made sure that Olympic trials was promoted as *the* premier sporting event of the summer in Indianapolis. Posters promoting the meet and its’ swimmers are strewn all over the Indianapolis International Airport, and every fifteen minutes or so there’d be an announcement on the PA speaker about trials — which were sometimes met with applause by airport attendees.

Many believe the cryptid Ozark Howler is simply a folk monster like Momo. The Ozark Howler has been brought forward in oral traditions as a creature of the Ozark Mountains. The Ozark Mountains span parts of Missouri and Arkansas and have been home to this legendary creature that has captured the imagination of many. This elusive animal has been described as a large, black, and shaggy creature. Some say it looks like a very large cat. It's also been reported in numerous sightings, stories of which have been passed down through generations. Many wonder if the Ozark Howler is a real creature or simply a myth.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
