At the time I'm sure I would have been on Harold's side, but the benefit of hindsight leads me to believe William was better for the future of England.

It’s certainly possible, but it was likely worse until at least the Tudor era. Having cross-channel possessions led to centuries of conflict on the continent.

In the short term, the Harrying of The North was an absolutely brutal subjugation. By the time the Domesday Book was written, the vast majority of English landowners had been replaced by Normans.

It would be incredibly interesting to see how history would’ve played out had Harold won. The English language would probably be mutually intelligible with Dutch.

With that being said, I’m rolling with Harold. I’d rather go down rocking a stache with the boys in the shield wall

I had that Dodge, the transmission was such a piece of arse. Factory paint made it like 9 years before going grey

That Overseas Dual Time is perfection.

Killer BB Pro as well! Would love to see one of those on an olive NATO.

FXD on a Glomar Explorer hook and loop today:

Here’s the real low down:
For whatever reason, in 2015 a group of alumni determined that Baton Rouge was the ideal retirement locale. The ringleader was an Ernest Hemingway impersonator.
The chapter had been severely lacking in alumni support and there was a general malaise, which Ernest and his ilk promised to remedy.
Once they realized the levels of debauchery the chapter had descended to, they thought to remake it in their image. Unfortunately, they began doing so by naively blowing the whistle to Greek Life, who promptly called Nationals. That was 10 strikes too many and Nationals pulled the plug.
The house was sold to Pike for something like $800k, plus a substantial donation to TAF, which I’m 100% positive that none of the aforementioned alumni benefited from.

I hear ya, I’m used to a date. It’s been tough when you glance down at the bank or wherever and your watch provides no help. I’ve definitely learned to appreciate how clean a no-date look is though.

Argentina is fake Italy without the currency. Those who support over England are traitors to our Founding Fathers.

Certainly not a luxury watch, but rolling with the SKX009 today. The Uncle Straps FKM rubber is super comfortable.

It’s definitely worth taking the drive up 400, vs slogging it up I-85. Dahlonega is a Hallmark movie town and is worth taking an hour to walk around the square. There’s a few good wineries as well, Kaya is a solid spot.

Do you like hiking? Looks like clear weather on Thursday and Friday. Mt Yonah is very close to Cleveland and has incredible cliffside views of the whole GA Blue Ridge. Plenty of shorter hikes off the AT and waterfalls as well. If you’d rather take it easy, you can drive almost to the top of Brasstown Bald. There’s a shuttle to the summit.

The drive over the mountains on the Richard B. Russell Parkway is beautiful with tons of views. Sunrise Grocery is close to the parkway and has killer boiled peanuts.

That Tennessee game was insane. From what I recall there was no lightning so there were no delays.

Getting an uber out of there was life or death since temps were dropping like 30 degrees within an hour and everyone was soaked

Coach Chris will get special teams back to serving up grill nutt in ‘26. Can’t afford not to bring him home.
