re: I was two numbers away from the Powerball jackpot this weekend

The only person I’ve ever known to win anything of significance at any gambling/lottery was my dad in 1979. We went on a 3-week family vacation out west and one of the stops was Las Vegas. Picture a conversion van, a pull-behind camper and seven people. It was equal parts Beverly Hillbillies and National Lampoon’s Vacation. I was only 14 so I couldn’t go into the casinos. We were eating breakfast on the day we were leaving, dad played Keno and won $400. That’s equivalent to about $1800 today. Paid for a lot of our trip I’m sure. Pretty cool.

I don’t know if I like or hate the idea that baseball is so unpredictable. The best team doesn’t always win. One millimeter off on a fastball is the difference between a 3-run homer and an inning-ending out. It’s fun to watch, though.

I don’t care for Ole Miss but anybody beating Auburn gets my support.

You think Olympic track & field coaches in 1976 just blew a whistle and told athletes to “run?” Complete bullshite. Yeah, I’m invested in the issue as a college track athlete and former high school track coach, but the idea that track is just handing a football assistant coach a whistle and telling kids to run is so stupid. Coaching track at a championship level - especially with zero or very few assistants - is one of the hardest coaching jobs there is.

I’m all for Auburn getting their shite kicked in but jinxing is a real thing.

Cool story but coaching track is not “blow a whistle and make kids run.” In high school there are 18 events. Can you teach a kid how to throw a discus? Javelin? High jump? Four-step instead of five-step hurdle? Plan a miler’s workouts for four months from early season to peaking at state? That’s what I thought.

My kids used to go into the old Carraway hospital in Birmingham (I was born it). Homeless, drug addicts, needles, old medical equipment and files just sitting around. My youngest daughter has a pic of her next to the big blue star that was always lit up on the roof. I threatened to whip their asses if they went in again, but hell I’d have done it when I was a teenager.

re: Has anyone ever cruised a major cruise line out of Europe

Posted by KingOfTheWorld on 6/1/26 at 2:39 am to jkylejohnson

The one and only cruise I’ve ever been on originated out of Denmark. We flew to Copenhagen and boarded. Regent Seven Seas line. We were on Voyager. I think passenger capacity was around 700. Docked in Estonia, St Petersburg and Stockholm and cruised the Baltic Sea. I’ve been told I was spoiled by my first cruise.
