Saw the Apollo launch when Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon. I was 13. 3 adults and 3 or 4 kids piled in the car for the trip. Stayed overnight on some bay beach, not sure exactly where. We could see the Saturn rocket in the distance. Had my little telescope set up, you could see the fuel vapor coming from the rocket. After launch we went home.

I was at the Georgia Tech game. We broke them that night. Celebrated too much after the game, spent all the money I had on me. Had to fly home the next day. Watched the Kentucky game at home. Always regretted not staying in Atlanta for the game.
I wish they would worry more about the actual condition of the road. Road might be crap but we'll have good reflectors!

My wife went through security at MSY this morning around 9am. Reported no problem.
Some good smokes in this thread. My two favorites right now are the Java Red by Rocky Patel and the Joya de Nicaragua 1970 Antano.
Border wall doesn’t have to be right on the border. Can be set back a ways from the border. Could probably be built and not be very noticeable by most.

From Rome to Amalfi, take the high speed train. Don’t drive on the Amalfi coast, narrow roads, blind hairpin turns and absolutely terrible parking situation. Get a room with a nice view on the Amalfi coast, doesn’t have to have a beach. Do a day trip to Capri. Gelato!
Shannon Sarver, he does excellent work. Highly recommended!

Stayed at Hotel 1898. It’s on Las Ramblas, near Plaza Catalonia. Not far from the cathedral. Nice rooftop bar. Would recommend.

An honor to have played on the same team as him.
one of the two videos I've seen is fake. In the wide angle shot, Charlie immediately grabs his neck when you hear the shot. THe close-up video has a different reaction from Charlie. It's early.
I thought TCU would get some love.

Junior said that he felt like the horse had more in the tank, so to speak. That was not first hand, but reliable.

You are correct, Sovereignty is definitely a monster! I felt like I was watching Secretariat.

My son-in-laws father is the agent for Junior Alvarado. We’re going up to Saratoga for the Travers at the end of August.

A trip report after your visit would be great. I was thinking about going too!
