  1. “Locker units containing alcohol are flagged with a special bar code, says Don Dierig, Delaware North’s general manager at the Reds’ ballpark. A trained Alcohol Ambassador remains by each station and verifies the identification of any fans purchasing alcohol before their lockers will open.” From this article: https://stores.org/2018/05/01/pitch-perfect/
  2. Bills-Pack will be broadcast in Fairbanks but not Anchorage? ?
  3. Checking...will get back to you via PM. He is a Poly Sci major but started out in sciences. Hope he is available because he has a good personality/interaction as a guide. From my perspective, VT had the best prospective student/parent presentation and tour of any university or college that we visited.
  4. Feel free to hit me up with any VA Tech questions. My son is a senior there. Hokies @ Duke this weekend so no football traffic.
  5. Scott - I spoke with a friend who is a PSU alum and rabid fan and asked about this. He said, due to this game, Fri travel to Happy Valley will be crowded by alumni spending the weekend for this big game. All day traffic on Sat leading up to game tine and the campus will be nuts if they win. Expect excess traffic on Sun leaving the area due to alumni that made it a weekend jaunt for the big game.
  6. Flying there from Richmond VA with my wife on Sat morning. First time @ Lambeau. Plan to hit the event at Stadium View Sports Bar for Bills fans on Sat.
  7. I purposely picked the Pats* in the TBD Survivor Pool. Not upset at all with my loss.
  8. Funny comment from this link. “Can we please just change the name of Bitcoin to CrimeCoin already? That's the only thing it's good for. Exactly. We could eliminate all but four coins, and use different ones for different specific purposes: - Drug Coin - Child Porn Coin - Money Laundering Coin - Ransomware Coin”
  9. Perhaps they will change the name? Maybe ‘Papa Us’?
  10. Wilmington access is cut-off so they are affected.
  11. That sig might be appropriate if working for the SPCA or similar org but would not be permitted in companies where I have worked.
  12. Isn’t that what you just predicted?
  13. The Reactions at the end of the article are worth the link. “they will sell the cars at a loss but make it up on the extension cords. "But comrade, we said it was electric, not battery powered"”
  14. I recall the narrator saying something similar to them ‘rising’. That has not happened yet though the bar is very low. Until they win 1 game, that ‘rise’ hasn’t begun.
  15. Just poured myself a nice cocktail. i called Directv tonight. My contract was due to expire in 2 days. Background: longtime AT&T mobile customer with 5 devices on a 20G family plan & longtime Directv customer. i explained my contract was expiring and wanted to see what was available for discounts. I also said I was a longtime AT&T mobile customer. I did not escalate to loyalty/retention. This is what I got: They are combining me into one bill. AT&T mobile: Unlimited plan for $25 less than my current plan. Directv: $60 discount for 1 year and Sunday Ticket for free. Combining both in one bill gets me HBO Premium for free. That does not expire until I leave AT&T It took about 30 minutes and was on hold a good deal as he investigated what was available and looked at both of my accounts. I asked for his supervisor after we were finished and complimented on how good he was with customer service. Last time I called I got a jerk but jackpot this time. Now back to enjoying my drink.
  16. I had no problems watching this on my iphone nor mirroring it to my apple tv
  17. Pertinent to this thread. http://ultimateclassicrock.com/hipgnosis-album-covers/ Interesting anecdotes to (in)famous album covers by Hopgnosis. Includes covers for Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, and others.
  18. This was designed by Hipgnosis who were responsible for many other creative and iconic album covers. https://wimwords.com/the-hipgnosis-album-cover-gallery/
  19. Whoever said that may have been thinking worldwide. Rabies death is just about eliminated in North America due to animal control & vaccination but worldwide, someone dies of rabies every 9 minutes. https://www.cdc.gov/features/rabies/index.html
  20. Not if you are talking about the USA. https://www.google.com/amp/outbreaknewstoday.com/florida-reports-2nd-human-rabies-death-recent-months-23275/amp/
  21. My fave Garcia band is Legion of Mary. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legion_of_Mary_(band) Short-lived but some great shows. Merl S and Martin Fierro (sax & also played on Wake of the Flood) Kahn, & Ron Tutt (Elvis’ drummer) were an outstanding band.
  22. I called last week and tried to get a ST discount. It was obvious to me the rep had been trained. He asked, “Wouldn’t you spend more $ going to a bar for 16 games?”. I cancelled my ST and asked to remove my first charge. But I knew my contract expires Aug 25 so I will call back before then to see what I can do about re-adding ST. Will try the approach recommended in this thread about requesting account discounts rather than specifically asking about ST. I am waiting to see if Directv sends me any offers about ST after I cancelled. I am a long-time Directv & ST customer and also multi-line ATT mobile customer.
  23. Agree with this but will also add something that perhaps some people do not carefully consider when selecting a retirement location: medical/health care, transportation, and an advocate (family member) present. I have in-laws who we had to move near us because there was no one to care for them when they chose to retire in the boondocks. They can no longer drive and require transport. They require some nursing aide periodically. Fortunately, they have plenty of $ but still amazing how quickly it can get spent for health care. You live far away and may not be close to medical doctors or dentists, hospital, etc. Plus, they may not be as well-qualified or experienced as you would like or need. If your family is not nearby, who will function as your advocate in dealing or questioning Medicaid, Drs., secondary health insurance, etc? If you have a car accident when 65+, good luck affording the insurance if you can get it. This will impact your independence. Perhaps living somewhere that allows you to walk to places is something to consider. I don’t mean to be the harbinger of bad news but am experiencing the reality of it and trying to do the best for my in-laws. People are going to continue to live longer but probably not in optimal shape. Live long and enjoy but think of the future and impact your decision, location, and situation may have on your family. Learning firsthand how to prepare for retirement.
  24. I rarely eat fast food but go to Cook Out if I want a tasty, quick & inexpensive combo ($5). Cook Out locations are south of Maryland in the eastern US.
