    Wasting an entire day at an Airbnb in Eugene while visiting our daughter (no pictures) and son-in-law trying to do laundry.  The washer is fine.  The dryer takes two to three hours to dry a small load.  I didn't drive all the damn way up here to hang around the damn room all day waiting for the damn laundry.

    While unintentional, it sounds like you did.

    When Garrett gets overturned you may be right. Until then, the highest court in the land says you are wrong.
     

     The Court ruled that statements made by public employees pursuant to their official duties may be disciplined by their employer.

    This makes sense.  It is not saying they can be disciplined based on personal statements made as a private individual, but statements made when speaking, or appearing to speak, as a representative of an organization.

    In the military I was clear that I could participate in political or other rallies or events, but I had to do so as an individual.   Except for approved events I could not do so as a uniformed, or even identified service member, as it implied organizational support.  Doing so would potentially open me to disciplinary action.

    Because it's easier to deplane and grab it on your way off when all those people have already gotten off, rather than fighting the cattle in the back to both get out of your row AND grab your bag. 

    It's selfish behavior. 

    These are the same people who don’t put away their shopping carts.

    You sound rich. 

    Are these your parents or your wives?

    I would assume your wives as she seems more sensitive to the topic.  But your right that “don’t ask” is a bad way to answer any kids question.

    A QB doesn't quickly get out of habits trained into them since peewee football and through college by the same coach. Moreover, the NFL isn't the place to do so. Shaduer's entire muscle memory and QB instinct/process has to be rebuilt from the ground up. Maybe some coaching staff in the CFL has time to do such, but that requires a QB with the humility to accept that reality. 

    Look, Shedeur has always been the bottle cap.   You can’t tell him now he has to be the blade of grass, stick or pebble.  He’s the bottle cap! That’s how he has and always will play.

    If the SEC wants OU to be good, it should be A&M. They are a blue blood with no local recruiting base. Missouri produces decent talent, so a Mizzou game helps them, but they need the additional TX exposure for recruiting. 

    As a TX fan, I don't love the idea of OU getting additional East TX exposure, but that is probably in the SEC's best interest. It's definitely in Oklahoma's best interest. 

     

    I believe OU prefers Florida as it gives annual exposure in a very fertile recruiting area.  Arkansas is in no way a historical rival except geographically and it is not a good recruiting addition.  OU is already exposed and relevant in Texas based on UT rivalry and historical exposure, so not sure aggy adds much.   Missouri has historical Big 8 ties and exposure to Missouri and Kansas states for recruiting.

    Will this be the result, not sure.

    The joke I always tell is whenever you see a Colorado Vs. Oregon game, the stands are full of a lot of California kids who didn’t get in their first choice UC school. 

     

    Dropping my son off at University of Arizona in Tucson, or as it is known, UC Tucson.

    Also, sooooo glad I don’t have daughters as the current standard dress is ultra tight spandex or body suit bottoms and mini tops.  Every nook and cranny is visible.   Great for my son but I would suffer as a girls father.   
     

    And yes, Tucson is in Vietnam.

    Fare jumping isn’t even a crime. It’s a civil offense that doesn’t even justify use of force 

    First, I find the Presidents actions in this regard stupid, and concerning.

    However, that picture is on the street and not inside a metro station nor based on the picture immediately outside one.  So seeing that picture and believing the headline/tag line is foolish.

     Most of the hydrogen in your body came from the big bang. I find that amazing. 

    Wrong!   I ate at Machacho’s, not Big Bang last night.

    Being in between belt sizing.  I'm a 33" waist so 34' is short and 36" is way too big.  

    Get ratchet belts.  Switched and love it.   Looks like normal belt but it slides into buckle with the ability to adjust the belt about every 1/8 inch.   Google for brands and options.

    I was definitely in the NO CRUISE camp up until this year.  Did a Royal Caribbean cruise to Mexico a few months back, and it's changed my opinion.  I'm still not planning on anything Carnival, especially out of Florida.  But there's something for everyone on board, and with the kids, it's a great alternative to dragging ass around Walt's torture park.

    Not a big fan for cruises either, but did an Alaskan Cruise for my wife's birthday a year or two ago (second I've ever done besides being on a Navy ship).  Norweigan.   If you have the money the key is to find the "exclusive" cruising package and pay for it.  Norweigan has something called "Haven" where you are in your own (badged entry) section.  Have your own restaurant just for Haven guests, own bar, own pool, several hot tubs and the top deck of the ship is only for Haven guests (best view on the ship).    You can go anywhere but retreat back there.  Also, you have a butler, concierge and head of the line (express elevator) exit and entry to the ship when leaving for excursions.  So instead of fighting 3K people to exit they express elevator you to the exit front of the line and express you back onboard and up your special elevator.

    It was nice and avoided the "commoners".  We did outside restaurants and events, including our own escort and seating to the shows/musicals.  Did we get an occasional side eye from the masses...yes.  But that made it even more enjoyable.
