That is my answer.

I have been there. Good food in unique and historic surroundings.

There are several excellent restaurants in Siena that are built among old Etruscan ruins.
We should have drafted the first one in the 7th.
I have toured the building which is now the Kennedy Assassination Museum. Highly recommend.
Yes and they freely admit who they copied the recipe from-
The old Christian’s across from Mandina’s.

A great version.

Those are the Pentients in the Good Friday procession.

The most elaborate one that I have seen was in Positano. They started marching down the hill in the morning to the sounds of slow, somber music and wound up in the cathedral for a long ceremony. They were still marching around town late in to the afternoon.

I don’t think we even need this act or this case to kick out criminals who are here illegally.
But since we are discussing this case, the obvious argument against its application here is that there is no officially declared war.
I haven’t seen the exact quote in context but I can’t believe Kinkade is that dumb.
The Lonesome Dove series.

Read in the order of the story line.
If you want something long, read trilogies or books with sequels.

Winds of War and War and Remembrance by Herman Wouk

Pillars of the Earth series by Tom Follette

Lonsome Dove series in the order of the story line which is not the order in which it was written.

Shelby Foote Civil War trilogy.

Ian Toll War in the Pacific trilogy if you are interested in that.

Fine with me. Saturday night cocktail hour can start early and end late.

That tournament has to go the way of the dinosaur
I remember the old days when that used to be a prestigious tournament. Pistol Pete Maravich versus Dean the Dream Memenger. Those days are long gone.
It is a long season, and the tournaments are a long way off. We are doing okay without him right now.
I enjoy blowing money on Vegas trips. And I am not a gambler.
Because it does not bode well if we have to shop for players in the bargain basement. Watch. We are about to lose a bidding war with UNO. Maybe we want to lose it.
A slight reason for optimism is that our NIL money is being tripled.
