    This.  They’re constantly lobbying so they can do shit a stand alone medical center can’t.  They bill 10x what that medical center / sx center does.  It makes zero god damn sense.  

    So where do things like CVS buying out Aetna come into play?

    Any of you guys have experience with traveling with Cub Scouts?

    Our pack treats extended trips like our normal camping trips - give everybody a target date/time when they need to be there, and leave it up to them.  Some families travel together.  Just avoid scheduling it opposite a UT game.

    Everybody I know that did the Lexington loved it.

    So, I just finished my online training in time to figure out that there's probably a lot of stuff that I missed doing this summer that could've helped us along.  Water under the bridge now but at least I know to already start getting things on the agenda for next year. 

    Yeah, that came up with us improving our website and a few other things - we had a tough time recruiting right off the bat because of the timing of school starting, Labor Day, high temps, etc.  We've got a good plan for next year.

    I think I want us to have a lot more volunteers lined up in June for the fall, and I'm thinking we need to do an event (outside of July 4) during the summer (nothing on the level of the Boy Scouts though).

    Wife and I have plans to do Wood Badge next year, and we are kicking around Philmont for our family "vacation", assuming we can work it out with my mom watching our daughter for that time.

    Also, we went to the Cub Scout leader expo at the Fickett Center this weekend, and was impressed with both Scoutbook and the Den Leader Experience.  Scoutbook should simplify several things for den/pack management for us, and help us keep the parents better in the loop.

    He should have told Tom to kick the FG the second time 

    Or told him to keep an eye on the fucking clock in the 4th quarter.   I’m still fucking seething about how much time they wasted in the last 6-7 minutes of the game.  You get that luxury of letting the clock run down when you’re ahead by a couple of scores,  not behind.

    How many licks to get to the center of a tootsie pop? No one knows. 

    How many mass shooting deaths to get a Republican to propose the most simplistic and basic gun control? I don't know, like 100 or something? It's probably more than that. 

    Would be interesting to see what the polling is, that is causing him to make this little stand.  He didn’t come up with this idea on his own.  

  6. He’s in a bind.  No politician likes being bitch-slapped around so publicly, because he now looks weak if he backs down.  More importantly, politicians like Patrick know that if they back down, then their political enemies (and allies) can and will use that against them.  

    His best bet is to pass it off to the legislature and hope there are no more shootings.  

    On the other hand, if there are more shootings, he can use that against the NRA. 

  7. We also have shit clock management.  With around 6 minutes to go, and down a couple of scores, we pissed away a shitload of time.  I saw one play where everybody took their time, and 45 fucking seconds ran off the clock. 

    45 seconds doesn't seem like a big deal with 5 minutes to go, but only if you're up by a couple of scores.
