The south shall blah blah blah you know whatever
You might be surprised to learn that Big Thicket Texas has three hotels. That’s at least two more than I expected. The Pinebox Motel wasn’t bad the first time around.

Main event – Jolly Jane VS. Merlin
Some commenters have complained that I haven’t been talking about magic much lately. That’s fair, no one is reading this because they need a behind the scenes look at wrestling.
