Mr Info

Thanks. Her family is from France and she trained at a creperie in Brittany so these are about as close to authentic as you are going to get in the states. I would check the web site or facebook before you arrive to see where her trailer is. The complete Nov schedule (some are already there) should be out in a few days.

Music tonight: http://www.crossroadsrva.com/calendar.html http://ashlandcoffeeandtea.com/events/balsam-range Both bands are good. AC&T is about 15 min N of Richmond. I might be at AC&T so let me know if you go. Also, one block from AC&T is 'The Caboose' a specialty beer, wine, etc. shop. Free wine tasting 5-7. A good way to get ready for the show at AC&T. Both places have local microbrews available. Tomorrow 8-12: South of the James Farmers Market - largest in the area and you can get breakfast. http://sojmarket.com/ My wife's food trailer will be there so stop by and say hi if you go. http://www.moniquescrepes.com/ Tony

Sorry to hear about your computer but glad you got some info to help you. If your father is going back to BWI on SW, that flight is at 6:20, not 6:30. Ten minutes can mean a lot when you are hustling to catch a plane. That was the info from jboys. He was trying to get to Erie not the BUF airport.

In regards to the OP's question, the best I can deduce from your info is that it may be possible to get to the BUF airport for a 6:30 flight IF the game does not run long and you scramble out of the Ralph quickly and have a good spot at Hammers. This is based on the mileage you indicated that you traveled in one hour. However, a couple of elements scramble this possibility: 1.) You were traveling in the opposite direction of the airport and traffic may be more of a factor going in the other direction 2.) you say that you were in Erie "within an hour at the end of the game". Erie is 86 miles from the Ralph. You also stated that "I made it to 90W in probably 40 min". Though I am highly skeptical of the first statement, it really blows up in combination with the other statement. The best I can tell, you got fairly far going southwest from the Ralph within an hour or so of the game using the steps you took. Perhaps the OP can use that.

What time did you get to the BUF airport and get through security for your flight? The OP noted it was his father that would be taking the flight. You are a bit younger and may be moving faster to get to your vehicle than he would. Lots of comments here but not many really relate to the OPs question regarding getting his father to the BUF airport for a 6:30 flight after a 1:00 game when parking in Hammer's lot. For those that have mentioned other lots, are you indicating that parking there would circumvent the exodus somehow and allow the opportunity to make the 6:30 flight? I find it difficult to interpret some of the replies.

I have parked at Hammer's in the past and made it to BUF in time for 7:15 flights on SW. Unfortunately, the latest flight in 2013 for SW on Sun night is now 6:20. No way, short of leaving the stadium early, can you get there and through security from the Ralph. I realize this may not help you in any way. My only options are to fly out Monday or pay more $ to fly later on another airline. When you have 70k people at any sporting event, the chances are very small in any city that you can leave immediately after that event ends and get to the airport and through security within 2 hrs. I have considered other cities where I have attended events with crowds like this and that timeline holds true. I welcome others to submit examples that defy this but they must be devoid of the following: illegal activities and/or jet packs or other technology that is beyond the common man.

Ha - that was a screw up on my part! Though I guess it it has the same accuracy. Not sure about the stingy sun but have seen animals change in advance of an approaching hurricane/typhoon. But those are not far ranging predictions or forecasts but recognition of actual physical (pressure, etc.) changes that are occurring which result in an imminent event.

I hate to throw ice on this because it's kind of fun folklore but unfortunately there is no scientific evidence to support any of these. Somewhat akin to using meteorology to predict your personality/life. http://news.psu.edu/story/141165/2007/09/24/research/probing-question-farmers-almanac-accurate http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/winter-forecast-part-iii-the-old-farmers-almanac http://www3.ag.purdue.edu/counties/hancock/Documents/AgFiles/NewsArticles/2012/NRHCwoolyworms12.pdf Persimmon seed - see Farmer's Almanac

Check out the hour long 'Talking Bad' with Gilligan and the rest of the cast immediately after the finale 'Felina'

I rented a car for a day from Alamo at BUF for the opener for $37 including taxes. Cheaper & more flexible when I considered taxi costs

But Mornhinweg (Jets OC) loves to throw the ball even if his run game is working (see Jests vs. Pats*).

You may want to watch 'Talking Bad' after this latest episode. RJ Mitte may have gone against script (right when Hardwick interrupts him) and revealed something that will please you.

I heard from a couple of vintners that 2013 is gonna be a sh*tt year for wine on the east coast.

I feel a little differently and I apologize for going off topic. Fortunately for us, health and quality of life can frequently be addressed through either of these. Just one example is the continual advancements in surgical techniques for joint replacement that allow for less invasive procedures and result in quicker recovery time. Some new pharma drugs are being released that reverse the effects of rheumatoid arthritis and certain types of breast cancer. These were not available just a couple of years ago. I will agree that occasionally people choose prescriptions (or surgery) for what might have been addressed by diet, exercise, or PT. Because the country is crazy about drugs does not mean that my boss would be ok if I decided to light up because I though it made me more creative. Even if I were more creative, it is illegal in the state where I live. Similarly, most, if not all, sports governing bodies have banished PEDs. What may be more interesting in the future would be the league assessment of technology advancements such as the replacement of catastrophic ligament damage with another material more durable than a human ligament.

I called tonight and immediately asked to speak to Retention. I was sent there and a young woman picked up. I went through my spiel of noticing other new customers getting Sunday Ticket for free and I was a long-time customer. I also mentioned that FIOS and Dish had great offers that I was considering. She went off-line and came back just a few seconds later and offered me $35 off my bill for a year and Sunday Ticket Max (which I had) for free for a 1 year commitment. I demurred but accepted it and just as she was explaining everything, I figured why not go for it....so I asked about getting the genie since my current DVR is somewhat old. She went off-line and came back a few seconds later and gave me the genie for free with free installation and free media/cable kit. But I had to make a two-year commitment. I accepted that. This took all of 7-10 minutes and I am celebrating with some brews right now. DTV...outstanding!

Yep, just had their 60 year celebration a few weeks ago. The same two guys who opened it still run it...more or less. http://thedailynewsonline.com/news/article_ffccf04e-d56c-11e2-b392-001a4bcf887a.html Worth a stop if its convenient since you are staying in Batavia...try the pepper and egg sandwich for breakfast on your way out to Roch or Buf. I grew up in Batavia but left long ago. However, I frequent occasionally since my parents still live there. The only other place I can recommend would be for breakfast, too.Sport of Kings across from the race track. You are probably staying at a hotel near there.

A few things I notice: - hairs growing out of your ears, eyebrows, nose, and other places on or near your face seem to have acquired some kind of elixir whereby they can grow an inch overnight and grow anywhere. - felt like I was gonna hurl on the last extreme amusement park ride I was on...didn't used to be that way. - My kids correct me when I get some NBA/NFL/MLB player's team wrong...and it's occurring more frequently every year.

Any beach in southern Corsica but Porto-Pollo stands out but going there is a rarity for me and probably anybody else. But on the east coast, I prefer Chincoteague/Assateague on the DelMarVA peninsula. Chincoteague is a quiet town and Assateague is in the federal park system so there is no development on the beach. No hotels, buildings, or anything to impede your view of the beach. If you have a sand vehicle, you can get a permit to drive and find your own private section of the beach. It's a bit more laid back beach scene but I find it relaxing. The only time I would recommend not going is pony-penning week. That is when the island is too crowded...watch it on TV instead.

"The phrasing pails in comparison..." really?

My wife owns a restaurant. She pays regular minimum hourly wage (not waiter hourly) + tips but reg minimum hourly is the highest wage of her competitors (her payroll service tells her that) but she is starting to cut back on hourly wage but it still will be higher than her competitors and her staff will still make good hourly wages when tip is included. One big issue is the tax on tips when using a credit card. A tax is taken from the tip when using a cc - the owner pays that tax but what should be given to the employee? The full tip, tip - tax, should the employee and owner split the tax...many questions. Margins are slim in the restaurant biz and every penny counts. It would be interesting how the wage & benefits offered by that restaurant compared to the hourly pay for the staff when tips were included. It is fairly common not to declare tips on taxes so that is another benefit.

Not always...I can list plenty of Floyd/Waters, Fogarty, Neil Young, Dylan, etc. songs whose lyrics make no sense whatsoever. Maybe they were just noodling around or rhyming but there was no logic...not even for those that had their minds expanded. Yep, saw it...twice. He puts on an technologically masterful show with an amazing band. It would not bother me whether Bush or Obama was circled. He has his political persuasions and I have mine. That is such a minor part of the show/music to me that I do not deter me from enjoying the performance. I also enjoy reading PJ O'Rourke. His writings and books were very left-wing when he was younger and wrote for National Lampoon. He became right-wing a number of years ago and his books and articles certainly reflect that. However, I enjoy his writing regardless of which side of the political spectrum he is on. I agree with him on some things and disagree with him on others. It would seem to be beneficial to obtain the full gamut of perspective on all sides to help render better decisions.

I agree that the tunes that make the general play list would not lead me to list him. I have been at a few live shows and his band is always hot and the crowd energy was phenomenal. He can be. The same can be said of Dylan, CSNY, Roger Waters, Guthrie, Fogarty, and many more. If the music is good, it is easy for me to ignore the lyrics. Btw - Parov Stelar that I listed above is techno/electronic swing. Interesting stuff and he has a great band. I wish he would play in the US.
