Dredging up old point made years ago but really becoming relevant again - looking back at Dany's dreams in the Tower of the Undying from both the book and what the producers had to re-write you can form a lot of opinions:
The book: a metric fuck-ton of visions that turn out to be all accurate foretellings planted by the lazy fat fuck GRRM, a repeating writing style of his (see book 1)
https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/House_of_the_Undying
The Show (S2 E10): note Dany never touches the throne in the destroyed hall - she's pulled away by the calls of distress from her children
My thought is D&D had to distill down GRRM's content and extract what is key to the series as presented on screen - that Dany gets told what will actually happen.

Thanks for all the tips guys, tons of great ideas here, will have to bookmark this for planning the next vacation.
I think you've sold me on the SF/Napa/Carmel thing. If we have 7 days, which includes the day we land and the day we return, is it too much to try and squeeze in Napa + Carmel/Big Sur? I figure we'll stay in SF a couple days, then take off north or south, but I'd really like to do both if it's not unreasonable.
Napa is an overnight trip (so 2 days accounted for) and Carmel/Big Sur is another overnight trip (another 2 days). Accounting for travel days and SF itself (overnighter) it will might feel a little rushed at the book-ends.

But why? I see nothing but bias and bad judgement in this decision!!!!
-
Another vote for flying into SF/Bay Area and basing a week pleasantly roaming the coast/local area. Napa & Big Sur included.
That shit right there is marriage magic.

To this:
With a lot of this: "Honey, I love you so much you're getting pooper tonight"

Guys, I was on the other thread. You mind if I chill here?
As long as you close the door on Derka and CTJ.

Uh, first season, when he had to kill a zombie in Castle Black.
While he is a Targaryen, he is definitely more Stark looks wise - it might make sense part of the story arc is that Dany is more of a 'true' dragon than Jon regardless of primogeniture.

They were evidence that Joffrey et al were not Robert’s kids (and not rightful heirs) because all had Baratheon traits that were dominant genes for lack of a better term. If all of Robert’s bastards had hair like him, then Cersei’s blonde children weren’t his.
That arc also helped solidify Joffrey's 1) unethical ruthlessness (having babies slaughtered) and 2) complete lack of understanding of how to play political games. It also showed Cersei was loosing her perceived control over him.

Aggy is the puppy mill of diploma factories in the state of Texas.

He was a revelation in IT crowd, then I was let down by Toast of London - but this new one is damn funny at times.

Is that Chykie Brown behind them?

And the scene where he ripped the guy's spine out, via his skull.
Or where he gets his freak on with the Septa.

Clemson owning UNC is one thing (actually, a given) but I have to admit a morbid curiosity of how much this guy is going to want to lay the wood on Mack.

Don’t have an Alexa or Google Home for exactly this reason.
I also randomly google things that I have no interest in, just to add some chatter to whatever file Google has on me. Now that I think about it, I’m overdue to shop for hockey equipment and baby clothes on Amazon. Might need to do a little browsing before bed.They're listening thru any smart device - do you already own a phone, tablet or smart TV?
My wife and I finally said fugget and got Alexa because they already have our info - there's simply no way to avoid them unless you go full hermit.

Screw raiding the PAC12 for teams - if, and this is a big if, we're going to take anyone it'd need to be LSU and Arky. Fuck the SEC and I seriously want to box in Aggy by B12 blue bloods in the region.
And before any pseudo-intellectual goat fuckers say we ain't getting LSU or Arky I realize it's a stretch - but it's a stretch in the right direction and not some goat fucker sloppy second like Arizona or Utah brands. Set the bar in the right direction and put Deloss on the mission with a high private jet, golf and single-malt budget.

I did FMS for a few years - rarely do we sell our best tech even to our allies. Normally a platform like the F35 will have dumbed down tech/armor/armaments on it in order to preserve any advantage US Forces might need later.

I arsn't giving up on the kid. Take the year, work on yer degree, stay healthy and get another evaluation in January.

Only in a depressed market (though I will defer to Phil). In a growing market like Travis/Williamson counties the VA has not been a hurdle for me (3 loans in a 19 year span).
Edit: as a data point - I just moved into a `stagnant` market (Palo Pinto county) and the VA was a breeze.
