I suspect they have some hard numbers on the percentage of people who drop after one month, vs the people who forget and let it linger, possibly forever….as I would. Do I get points for self awareness? 🤷‍♂️

No doubt! But I don’t need more MONTHLY subscriptions. I’ll pay the bar once, and save myself the other 364 days. 🍺

Thanks! That sounds like a lot to see in a short stretch. Our house is 3 miles from the Braves stadium and I’ve walked that before, while seeing FAR LESS! If you look at the health app on my phone, you can easily see the times we were traveling and my steps spiked!

I’ll be touristy….in a Pub somewhere! I kid, kind of. As our spring trip wore on I found myself leaving my wife to see the extra museum or cathedral by herself. I opted to wander in the city we were visiting and see the sights and people. The farther I wandered from the touristy stuff, the more I generally liked it. Awesome trip for this guy who got a late start in life with serious traveling.

Many, many years ago I was that guy wishing you would just answer the damn phone. 😂 The worst part of my job then, but you made the loan, you collect the loan was how it worked in those days. People were the worst with boat loans. The boat is a luxury, and the first thing you stop paying for in tough times. It was shocking how many times a boat 60-90 days late on payments “sunk” when a hurricane MISSED us. Not my problem, I just took the insurance payoff presented and moved on.

How long will you be there? We packed WAY too heavy for a 2 week trip in the spring. I’ll be leaving Wednesday evening (a week from TODAY!) and returning on Monday. I can get by with a small carryon bag. This may be hokey and touristy (OK, it IS), but I’ve never been to London before and may do one of those hop on/hop off loops around the city to get my bearings. Kind of take a quick lap to get acquainted. We never did that for my first trips to Paris and Rome in the spring, and I kinda wish we had. Is that a horrible idea? .

Should we be glad we didn’t spring a NEW biggest problem? 😋

Is it ONLY on Peacock??? So now I have to pay for Peacock, too? I used to watch Dan Patrick on Peacock for free, but recently they started showing the previous days show. Obviously, the Friday show is not as great on Monday, ya know? I’m not sure if paying the $4.99/month or whatever it is will get me same day Dan Patrick, but I might have to draw the line here. I don’t need to pay for yet ANOTHER streaming service to see Bills games. If that is the only option, I may watch that one at a bar…..and lose a little bit of interest in this game they are playing with us.

I apologize If Harty is out there, I expect something cutesy.

Are you thinking we should turn their locker room into a meat locker? BRRR!!! I’m open to all options! I liked the end of the Washington game where they just imposed their will on the worn out defense. Being able to run when they can’t stop you is a fantastic feeling! Balanced, but physical and effective.

Tua would have, mercifully, been vaporized and ceased to exist on this planet if he took that hit Mike White took. There is a reason they get the ball out quick, they have to. Brady made it work, but he’s the GOAT and even as an old man more sturdy than Tua. It will be an interesting chess match.

Well, I went looking on-line and found these on sites like Etsy. We have a local frame guy who does a great job. I got maybe a dozen from around 1962-64 mostly. I didn’t see them in person until later in the 60’s, but it still gives me the same warm feeling. What a wonderful legacy to leave things behind that warm people’s hearts. Please come by and see my collection some day! 😋

A few years ago McD had a former HC and a future HC working for him. Wise move to surround yourself with minds like that, especially in his early years as HC. Now, could he use some more brain talent around? Of course. I love what the D has looked like, but I worry about him being stretched too thin. 🤞 .

I think Colombo caught some guy who killed his enemy with that stuff! Riveting episode! 😋

I thought we were going to get a smellfish recipe. I love recipe threads, but I’m nervous about “smellfish”.

You’re a guy living in CocaCola Town. Pepsi must need SOME kind of help to make it passable, right?

For that game and $20, I’d want them to throw in a beer, a jersey and maybe a bobblehead collection.

This will indeed be the first real test. It will also be just one of 17 regular season games, so I will try not to overreact regardless of outcome. The story line of our hot D against the team that just scored 70 points is juicy as all get out! The Jets game was just an odd start to the season. I’m not sure what to make of that. I think we we ready for the game we expected, but were forced to play a different game, for better or worse. .

I have been to multiple Bills road games where Bills gear was over 50% of the crowd. We travel well. Right there at the top of the heap for travelers. I’ve been offered NLF tickets for free early in the season in Florida, and I declined. Wisely, I might add.

You have applied on-line, haven’t you???

So sorry to hear this. It’s never easy. .

You’d think he would take better care of his coffee pot……

I watched every second, even pausing when I had to run out for a bit. Go re-read the title. I think you are hearing what you want to hear. Seriously, with zero snarkiness. He’s is all over MAYBE, because we can’t say anything for sure. I don’t swear there IS intelligent life out there, but I can’t dismiss the possibility. That would be dumb, because as he says we don’t know enough. Your “expert” there is just the ant on top of the anthill in Africa somewhere. Sure, he has more degrees than me, but he’s just another ant. I don’t think you realize how little we know about how all this works!

Well, I must say that was a deep, well thought out and reasoned argument. Kind of like the old people version of “I know you are, but what am I?”

Every game will not be like THIS game, so those with the determination will find a way to work in their message to us. I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything. I just happen to enjoy watching football. I just have occasional observations. Something has to give next week vs the Dolphins. That great D against the team that just put up 70 points. And I thought the writers were on strike!!! 😋 .
