We were down there last week. Fields Italian had an incredible lobster Mac & cheese.

We went to Mosaic another night and they had a good jazz band. Food was pretty good and it’s a solid vibe. Intended to stay out and go to Glory Bound, but it started raining so we called it a night.

Catch 110 in Biloxi was good.

And can confirm that Tatonut is an elite donut

We didn’t do much else. Shopped a little and hung out at the VRBO on the beach. We had young kids in our crowd, so there wasn’t a ton of adult only activities going on.
Probably daily on higher end courses.

Every Tuesday and Friday morning seems reasonable on like small town country club type courses. Or maybe Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday mornings.
Check what time the dolphin show will be. It’s definitely worth making sure you catch that. Other than that, it’s just a great aquarium. Takes about 2-3 hours to do it all.

It’s been awhile since I did the coke museum. I’m not sure if my 4 year old would like it or not.

If he’s a run around kind of kid, as most are, the College Football HOF has an indoor 30 or 40 yard field with stuff to do that would entertain him.

We’re going to be in Atlanta later this weekend and if we do something interesting, I’ll report back to this thread for you.

Well it was said by the king of stolen valor, Dick Whitman, who was turned on to Ayn Rand by Bert Cooper… So that may have actually been done on purpose by the writers.

It's actually jarring how terrible that place is if you go in blind like I did.

I just happened to have an hour by myself while my wife was doing something downtown and I was like hell why not. Over by Ga Tech, I remember Todd Blackledge going for the Taste of the Town segment he used to do, pretty sweet sign that you see from the interstate... You don't realize the mistake you've made until you're standing at the counter and look into the kitchen and see what you're about to get.

That was my one and only visit.
Do any golf courses around you have a group of older guys doing maintenance or marshalling?

A lot of the RTJ Trail courses in Alabama have older retired men, not necessarily riding mowers all the time, but doing the keep the course pretty work… Filling divots, fixing pitch marks, making sure bunkers are raked, etc. or making sure things are flowing on course.

Good way to make a little extra money and stay active, while not having to deal with too much riff raff.

Doing small deliveries and helping out around a seed and chemical retailer would be good work too.
No doubt. Was just an interesting way to end it

I'm still so confused about the show's view on faith/christianity. Sometimes they're making fun of it, sometimes it seems like they're trying to push it...in a show that's as far away from Christianity as possible.


I didn’t know what to think about it either. 3 seasons of just disgusting behavior by just about every character and they end it with a former Muslim praying in a Christian household with the American flag blowing in the breeze.

Definitely cuts the glare out.
Jim, your ability to ride for Bryson is remarkable.
Chizik for sure.

He's 24-38 without Cam Newton and Michael Dyer.
My problem with travel ball is that money and time could be dispersed so much better into the small towns that all these teams are coming from.

If that money, time, and effort were to stay local instead of going to the World Series of the month you'd have:

-better rec league competitions and facilities
-more vibrant downtowns. Spend disposable money where you live, not in whatever town has a baseball complex every weekend.
-better country club participation, both from a dining and tennis and golf standpoint, so you have kids that are more well rounded both athletically and socially
-better church attendance and participation. This is a huge problem IMO. You're teaching all of these kids to turn away from religion and to athletics.
-competiton within the town. Business being proud of their rec league sponsorship, kids wanting to play for certain teams. Example: I played for the same rec league team my dad did, and my dad was my coach. That's awesome to me.

ETA: Also hot take incoming: Most of your kids aren’t even playing baseball. They’re pawns in the game of see what coach is most willing to just run the bases incessantly because the kids are going to make enough errors that recklessly running the bases eventually pays off.

This is insane behavior when you have children that aren’t close.

My grandmother is so prepared to die that she paid for her own funeral when she paid for my grandfather’s.

Hahahaa. A majority of that team is young black men. The president is actively trying to disenfranchise them. I think it says a lot that they pay attention enough to get upset. How do you not see that? Oh yeah, cause they have different opinions than you…


Do you people ever go outside and walk around for a little bit, breathe a little fresh air, and come up with an original thought?
My wife inherited about 750k worth of income producing real estate and about 100k in cash.

We wiped out all debt aside from home, went on a couple vacations, stuck the rest in an emergency fund, and have another source of income.

This was new for me when I joined my club.


Yeah, it was for me too, but it's outlined in the golf rules of the club that Singles have no standing during busy times (weekends, holidays).

If I'm playing as a single on those days, I'm showing up when they unlock the cart barn and getting out ahead of everybody, or showing up late afternoon trying to be the last to tee off. Otherwise, be prepared to skip around, or play two balls from the fairway or around the green to burn time.

Playing as a single during the week though is easy 90% of the time at our club. During the week the older groups builds their round around lunch, then there will be a foursome here and there later in the afternoon, but for the most part it's a lot of twosomes or dads teaching their kids the game. Singles are common.
Yes. Daily. Mainly the blacks, sometimes you run across one of those old Elizabeth Warren looking white women.

Weirdest thing about the blacks, I think they're wearing the same shitty cloth one from 2020, so I'm trying to figure out if they're really that dumb or if they're trying to make one of their perplexing fashion statements.

The old whites that wear them are hardcore N95 wearers for the most part.
