Tiger King star Carole Baskin was recently doing a Q&A session on Reddit when a fan asked what happened to her missing husband, Don Lewis. She said, “I believe Don crashed a small experimental plane or ultra-light into the Gulf for a number of reasons. He wasn’t licensed to fly, yet did all the time. He couldn’t file a flight plan and had to take off from closed airports to evade detection. He had to fly under 200 feet to stay off the radar which means he would typically fly out over the Gulf because the air is smoother there, whereas over land there are up and down drafts that will crash you at the height.”

I have an etiquette question. We are going to my husband's cousin's house for Thanksgiving. She is rude, crude and worst of all, a horrible cook. Would it be bad if I brought my own food? Is that bad etiquette?
