Awesome moment. Wish that was a better song, though.

My wife is a little concerned about some of the distances / elevation gains we will have on some of the trails.
Listen to her. Parking in GNP can be a real hassle so I went to all the trouble of perfectly timing an afternoon easy hike to Avalanche lake only for my wife and kids to give up after 1/2 mile. Almost abandoned them. It is an easy hike, but we are clearly not hikers. :lol:

July 21 - Lake Day. Renting a pontoon boat for the day on Flathead Lake.
I was just there in July and rented a boat from Flathead Boat Company in Polson because they allowed you to take their boats to Wild Horse Island. Some of the other boat rental companies don't. We enjoyed tubing and driving around, but the best part of our lake day was parking at the island to swim, hike, and eat lunch.

Fat shaming started in 2021?


Not sure. But if you recall we went through a period of "body positivity" and celebrating being fat for a while. Might have been the early 2000s, but we definitely quit giving fatties a hard time till recently.
You're putting the egg before the chicken. It's no coincidence the fat positivity nonsense started to go away after we had an effective treatment for obesity. Don't need to be fat positive anymore, you can take a shot and be skinny. Just goes to show the fat positivity thing was always dumb, but it's not some new emphasis on fat shaming that is driving obesity rates down.

re: Barion returning kicks

Running backs are better suited for kick returns in the NFL now.

Brown will be fine for punt returns.
This is what I'm thinking. Barrion was a great pick and will be a good slot WR, deep threat, and punt returner, but I think the new kickoff formation is more suited to an RB than it used to be.

Is this anything other than a suped up flip phone from the early 2000’s?
Er, yes.
Notre Dame seems to do well enough to refuse repeated invitations to join various conferences. I think LSU's brand attracts a similar number of eyeballs (though maybe I'm biased). I know it would screw up scheduling all the other sports, but I'm sure we could affiliate with the Big 12 or ACC for those. Not suggesting it's a good idea. But maybe it's not a bad idea.

deliberate and coordinated campaign to recruit professional athletes to play football for LSU
Was this against the rules? You can't call a guy who's not on a SEC roster and say he'd be welcome at LSU if he can become eligible?
Don't sleep on Saints Insider from the Times-Picayune/nola.com beat writers. They're not pro podcasters, but they give good insight and opinions without a lot of nonsense and fillers.

I kinda put Thomas Covenant in the same category as Memory Sorrow and Thorn by Tad Williams. Well written but plodding stories with terrible and annoying main characters. I don't regret reading them back then, but don't have any urge to reread.
This. Re-read Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn last year. Loved them when they came out, but was a real slog on re-read.

Funny how tastes vary. I find her extraordinarily attractive, but she also seems to have a fun personality which may add to it.
