21". I am still using my eBags 21" 20 years after I bought it. Brand was bought by Samsonite I think. Just don't go hardsided.
Agree on the brand and fabric vs hardsided. I use Samsonite carryon spinner. It’s only thing I take when traveling. The only issue I have is that the handle seems a bit wobbly when fully extended.

Correct.

(McNamara’s plan) to recruit soldiers who would previously have been below military mental or medical standards. Project 100,000 was initiated by Defense Secretary Robert McNamara in October 1966 to meet the escalating workforce requirements of the U.S. government's involvement in the Vietnam War. According to Hamilton Gregory, author of the book McNamara's Folly: The Use of Low-IQ Troops in the Vietnam War, inductees of the project died at three times the rate of other Americans serving in Vietnam

One of the worst games I’ve watched all season.
The last ten to 15 minutes was painful to watch. Maybe 2 or 3 minutes of play including penalties, timeouts, shanked kicks etc
FYI, your 4.99% borrower-paid is very optimistic right now unless you’re putting serious money down or buying discount points.

Current publicly listed rates for 30-yr fixed are in the 6%+ range.
Sure, rising home values sound great if you already own — but it’s not that simple. When values shoot up because of inflated lending, so do property taxes, insurance, and the cost to buy your next place. It’s only “good” if you plan to sell and not buy again.
“Right — people move for life reasons, not because of how long their mortgage is. You can always sell and pay off what’s left. But longer loans affect the market overall. If everyone can borrow more with 50-year terms, prices go up. So while it doesn’t trap individuals, it does make housing more expensive for everyone.”

“It’s like getting a cheaper ticket for a train that never really reaches the station — technically you’re on board, but you’re not getting anywhere fast.”
Sounds exciting! Have a great trip.
