Go with Stagecoach; it is the shortest of the three at 96 min, and the way JW flips his Winchester 1892 rifle by its lever with one hand and the stunts performed by stuntman Yakima Canutt. +John Ford cinematography! Stagecoach set the standard for every western & action movie that followed.

About nine years ago, I had the opportunity to teach both to primarily 18-year-olds. They liked The Searchers more than Stagecoach, but the biggest hit for the Western chapter was when we watched Shane. They liked that one a lot!🐴🤠🌵

We can probably expect to see the “Florida* Board of Career and Technology Education” soon listed as an institutional accreditor since the only textbooks allowed will be technical repair manuals. #Chiltonope.ed.gov/dapip/#/agen...

Will the expectation become “completed the credit requirements that state universities can't offer via H.S. AP?” Also, those who helped develop Florida’s common course numbering systems probably never imagined that the same system would be used to cull so many courses

Look, want to be a writer? Read a lot, widely, be observant about the world around you in whatever way that means for you, put in the work of practice, learn as much technique as you can, write what interests you and/or is personal, and don't fucking outsource any part of it to AI.

A lot of non-Floridians don't know that for the first year after birth, a manatee baby is attached to their mother by a small pipe.
