Funky Tide 8

I have this on cd and I popped it in my car a few weeks ago. You can tell Ozzy was geezed way up, pumping up the crowd, playfully calling them out for not being lit enough. So badass. One of the best bands ever. I don't think that Iommi is actually underrated, but for some reason it kind of seems like he is. Guitarists who create a distinct style due to a physical limitation is the coolest thing ever.

I don't think that it's an unreasonable thread. There isn't a lot to go on to determine just how good Simpson can be in SEC play. I don't believe there is anything alarming about the fact that he couldn't win the job before this season. Before everything got out of whack in cfb, his arc would have been perfectly normal. It is (or used to be) ideal for a guy to develop for multiple years before he takes the reigns.

It does seem like he has a strong arm, and can make a lot of throws, and it seems like he's a hard worker, and is very competitive, and is very determined. His teammates and coaches obviously like him.

We don't need the offense to rely so much on him, like was the case with Milroe. We simply need him to manage the game, run the offense with efficiency, and get the ball to our many playmakers, like McCarron, Coker, and Mac did. Now, those guys had great Olines, and run games which helped out a shite ton. Will we have that? We should, but we haven't in a few years now. But we certainly seem to have the dudes and then some.

I think having Grubb there will help him out a lot.

My guess is that he struggles a little bit once we get into SEC play, but not enough to start panicking, but he'll get better with each game, and hopefully down the stretch he starts playing his best ball. Kinda like Coker. So basically opposite of Milroe's God awful arc last year. Anything but that.

One positive thing is that he should have a crew on the other side of the ball to keep other offenses from scoring a lot.

I'm tempering my expectations, but I am indeed cautiously optimistic.

Why don't Americans stop buying so many drugs? Until that happens, taking out cartel leaders is a waste of time.

Bingo. When you stop and think about the amount of money involved in the transfer of drugs from Mexico to the U.S. then you have to think about many bad people in the U.S. have vested, monetary interests in the cartels staying functional. This is the problem with the "war on drugs." Our DEA's (and other agencies) budgets and paychecks are dependent on there being cartels. When there is that much money involved, corruption runs absolutely wild. There's no doubt in my mind that a significant number of U.S. judges, representatives, state LE, etc are tied up in deals with cartels. Hard task to root that out.

If she is encouraging service members to disobey lawful orders then yes there's precedent for criminal liability due to the Supreme Court case Schenck v. United States (1919). This case established that the government can restrict speech that poses a threat to public safety.

Her speech in the video would absolutely not pass the "clear and present danger test" that was established in that case, and it'd be a big waste of time to pursue those charges.

Kids ages are very important. Some of the hikes are very steep, we went in 2022 when my kids were 3, 5, and 8 and it made me very nervous with them. If they are older its really not an issue at all.

I read the Death in the Grand Canyon book a few months ago and one thing the author mentioned that I thought was interesting is that of all the many deaths from people falling into the GC, a very small percentage have been children.

Make what you want of that, I'd be nervous with children around steep cliffs as well, but I just thought that it was an interesting fact.

Going to be out there next week, got any tips or suggestions? Was it scorching hot?

It's worth the 30 minute drive to eat in downtown Pensacola. Try the Global Grill and you won't be disappointed.

I live in Pensacola, and I disagree. There are plenty of good restaurants here, like Global Grill, but as far as seafood places Pensacola doesn't have anything on OB/PK.

98 is much more scenic old Florida-ish, 75 is much faster absent a major crash.

75 really isn't that much faster is it?

I drove down 98 in December and the hurricane damage wasn't all that bad.
