Every obstacle lies within you.
----- Lao Tzu -
There is one word that has not been written in this thread and it's this: traffic.
Every day I fight with Austin traffic. Every day I'm sitting there in my car asking "is this really what you're doing with your one, little granted life?" Every day it is worse. It's stealing my soul. Mind you, I LIVE here not more than 15 minutes from the stadium if there is no traffic, but the only time that happens is about 5:00 a.m. on Sunday morning. And even living here 15 minutes from the stadium there have been times when I've asked myself if it's worth it to descend into the clusterfuck, look for a parking spot in the madness etc... Particularly when the alternative is going somewhere where the beer is relatively cheap, I can watch multiple games, and I'm not worried about getting skin cancer from that high midday sun that bakes the entire stadium. I still do it but, as the traffic gets worse and worse, I question WHY I am doing it. Then I put myself in the position of fans coming from Dallas or Waco or Houston. Would I really want to fight that battle when staying home is cheaper, more comfortable, has less anxiety ----- and is far safer?
CDC has his work cut out for him, no doubt. First thing I would do is bring back knothole tickets. Make it so a family of four can see a game for 40 bucks.
As far as Godzillatron, I remember when it was announced and built everybody on Hornfans was so enthusiastic about it. It could still be a force for the greater good. -
Have you ever read about the enormous quantities he was capable of drinking. I mean, he was a very large human being. I get that. But he was drinking in another dimension.

Regardless of semantics, it's pretty clear that even though guns are banned over there, they still have a problem with violent people. I see the same dynamic playing out over there as here - focusing on the tools/instruments instead of root causes, but I suppose it's the low hanging fruit.
The root cause is that people are violent. Some of us more than others but nearly all of us at one time or another. Good luck "focusing" on that. All we can do, collectively, as a society, is to try to limit the calamity.

All I can says is that I hope Jamie Allman WAS drunk when he wrote that, because I would hate to think that any sober person would consider it a good idea to tweet that out, especially in the current environment.

I guess that's why we DON'T have a democracy.
We have a Republic. I'm 46 and went to public school in a very German part of Northern Iowa.
Good Lord, not this again. We have BOTH a democracy AND a republic. The two terms are not antithetical.
A republic is a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives and which has an elected or nominated president, rather than a monarch. A democracy is a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. Specifically, the United States is a representative democracy.
Apparently those public school teachers in Iowa didn't teach you very well. -
Stormy Daniels gives tell-all interview, poses nude for Penthouse:
QuoteStormy Daniels — who is milking her alleged one-night stand with Donald Trump for maximum exposure — has given an interview to Penthouse magazine covering some areas that were untouched on “60 Minutes.”
The top-heavy porn star, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, also posed nude for the double May-June issue hitting newsstands at the end of the month with her on the cover.
“She answers a lot of questions about Trump that Anderson Cooper didn’t ask,” my source said.
A spokeswoman for the mag said, “It’s a great feature. She looks amazing.”

The real question is what other sprorts does Card not excel in? Answer: none.
I understand he would have finished second in the Masters if he'd remembered to bring his clubs.
Also, per Rivals, Kenyon Jackson is visiting April 27-29. He is Kenyatta Watson's teammate. -

Why?

I still go to almost all home games but there are so many tickets available that it is just so much cheaper to buy them from scalpers or people who can't go. Plus I get to watch the game from all over the stadium.

It is a combination of a million different things, all of which have been mentioned ad nauseum (emphasis on the nausea) on this board, or rather the other board before it was this board.

Not sure where to put this, but Joshua Moore long jumped 23' 6.5" inches to win his district. His brother Jordan was 4th at 19'7".
23' 6.5" is a hell of a jump for a high schooler. -
Evans and Demas are on another level of explosiveness. If we lose either one I'm going to kick my girlfriend's dog, Bojo.

I talked to Bruce Springsteen on the phone in 1975 without having a clue who he was.
I shook hands with Arnold Palmer.Saw Secretariat win the Belmont by 40 lengths in person.

He would have been perfect at one of those NFL teams that don't care if their players are too lazy to watch film and learn the plays. The Indiana Improvisers, Idaho Indigo Indolence, or the Wilmington Wing-its would have been perfect fits.
