Elizabeth, NJ to Times Square. About 45 min. And $68.

I think we hosted the old Winn Dixie Challenge back in Skip’s early years. It was LSU and two other Louisiana schools vs three schools from another state. I miss it.

This was a great event. The issue was playing it in the Superdome.

I remember watching Deion Sanders play for FSU in this series back in the 80s.

I know we played Florida schools, MS schools, and TX schools during three of the seasons. I know there were more.

Someone once said, "no matter how good you are, you'll lose a third of your games, and no matter how bad you are, you'll win a third of your games. It's what you do with the other third that matters."

This was a reference to MLB though. I do not see LSU losing a third of their games, but it'll be more than single digit losses IMO. That's just the way it is. You'll lose a few along the way that you never should have lost.

My prediction is 12-15 games lost. And a national championship! :dude:

In my opinion, seeking asylum should only be possible if you're in a country bordering the country you're seeking asylum from.

You should not be able to cross multiple countries till you find one you like.

I just want drug company commercials off my TV. That'd be a huge win for multiple reasons.

There are people that will NEVER believe it was stolen even if said assailants came out and said they stole it.

In all fairness, I'll never believe it was not stolen, whether anyone is ever perp walked or not.

100%!!!

We should intervene in the most minimal way possible, if at all, imo.

Some of those people may welcome our help in affecting change. But as soon as that change takes place, those people will go back to hating us. At least enough of them will.

This is the issue. You cannot try to impose western values on non western people. You have to let them be. They'll either figure it out, or they'll annihilate each other.

This is why I believe we have a decent chance at a good outcome in Venezuela. There are still a lot of people there who remember the good old days. They can be changed. Iran cannot.

Just my opinion.

My take...

Stay as close to the national mall as you can, even if it means getting a hotel, and choose a spot with easy access to the Metro.

See the monuments and prepare for a lot of walking. The Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol is about 2 miles. It may not seem like it while looking at a map but be prepared to walk. Wear comfortable shoes. As for the museums, I like Natural History and Air & Space. I've heard that the Postal Museum (next to Union Station) is very underrated therefore less crowded. Arlington Cemetery is highly suggested.

The National Spy Museum charges an entry fee, but it's well worth it. Kids love it. And it stays open a little later than most things.

If you want a capitol tour, you need to contact all of your representatives now and try to schedule that. You can do this up to 90 days in advance, so the window has been open for a while now. You can also schedule through the capitol website.

Get a half & half from Bens Chili bowl for a quick meal. Lincolns Waffle House (near Fords Theater) is a good breakfast. The Dublin Hotel (across from Union Station) has a decent restaurant inside and offers a great breakfast. It's open to the public. Gordon Ramsays Fish & Chips is good for a quick meal as well.

You will get nowhere with a car. DO NOT attempt it. Use the Metro. It's clean and safe.


I am looking forward to a return visit during the week of July 4th for America250 festivities!!!!!

It would surely be nice. But people survived without it for thousands of years. It's an emergency, meaning life and death. If it's a real, actual emergency, and not some blown out of proportion "crisis", then blankets can be brought in, in a hurry.

Shelters with generators can be opened. Fire wood can be brought in. Batteries can be brought in. Propane tanks can be brought in, along with propane heaters.

Lastly, electricity prices are already regulated.
