Liberals don’t believe in personal responsibility. They are always a victim and there’s always an excuse to excuse anything, including murdering your own three young children apparently.

He wasn’t unlucky, he was idiotic and broke so many of his own rules.
But to the OP’s question, it wounded merely prolonged the inevitable. They formed coalition after coalition against him and would’ve continued to do so until he made a mistake (Waterloo).

Honestly just bite the bullet and stay in town. Places within an hour drive aren’t THAT much cheaper. Just stay close by to minimize driving and maximize your time at the course. We stayed at a Sleep Inn two years ago. Was 10 minutes from the course and serviceable enough considering we really only slept there. Enough decent food options in town, and yes Reinhardt’s is a great place to go drink beer and eat fried seafood after a long day at Augusta National.

You’ll be fine. It does seem like most grownups would pack at least a collared shirt for vacation though.

re: Was WWII the most pivotal event of the 20th century?

Correct. People who think WWI started with the murder of the Archduke are way oversimplifying the outbreak of the war. It’s a sad result of history textbooks in high school boiling an obviously complicated event down to one bullet point.

I was going to make a smart arse comment before I remembered that's how I felt about travel sports when I was a kid and my parents spent all their time with my sister's travel softball. Then I grew up and had kids who did travel sports. I became friends with the other kids' parents and realized that's why my parents were so into it. It's a friend group of similar minded people who you get to hang out with and drink beer with in the evenings after the kids go to bed.
So you hated it as a kid? And what you’re saying now is it’s not about the kids at all? I assume your kid probably hates it too then. Good job breaking the cycle Dad!

If you’re ever alone the FloraBama this summer, you can buy all the Buffalo Trace you want to at their liquor store.

Garth is a weirdo who helped kill country music and turn it into the pop country nonsense we have today.

Good recs in here so far. Unfortunately Lillian’s isn’t at all what it used to be though.

Adams has been our worst starter in conference play, and this decision means he’ll pitch against one of the hotter and better lineups in the tournament instead of against Alabama St.

I love the annual “should teams pitch off in regionals” debate. Historically, both options have had nearly identical success rates. Not last year. Of the seven hosts eliminated in regionals, six changed up their rotation order, including three that dropped their opening game.
Cool. That has zero bearing on our regional, every situation is different and a one year sample size stat does not apply at all to our regional. Blowing your best pitcher in a home regional against an ok SWAC team is insane. One of the benefits of hosting is not having to do that. If we were playing a 4-seed that had a stud Friday starter? Sure.
I bolded the non-small sample size stat. Blowing your ace against Alabama St is certainly a choice.

El Siboney is an even better Cuban restaurant in Old Town.
