Vacation: Beach or mountains?

calibuck
Have done the drive you mention (though not from V-ville), several times with my lovely wife. Actually drove to Cambria for a combo wife b-day and Mom's day (got a twofer on that one), and did the up and back down Highway 1. Morro is beautiful, have camped there several times, and has some very good restaurants, and yeah, to an Ohioan, looks wonderful (and it is). Ps, in the winter, the hills are a verdant green. In the summer (with less water), they are called 'the golden hills of California'. That's while Ohio hills are lush and green. PS, you covered a heckuva lot of territory from VVille to Monterey and back in a weekend. Daughter did some swimming and water polo in Pismo, so have spent many a weekend there. Plenty to do, and usually run into a half dozen or so people from our town there. Too busy for me. PS, when we drive to Colorado, always go through the Tehachapi's out to Hwy 15 through Vegas to I-70 into Grand Junction. From where we are, the mountain passes through the Sierra Nevadas are still covered in snow through June-ish, so gotta go south, or north on the I-80. Sounds like some great memories!

Me or Tyson? (Never a question I thought I'd find myself asking, but either feels realistic in this case).

That was one of the funnier things I ever heard him say.

He was trying to say "fade into oblivion" but Mike being the man of letters that he is, he turned it into a geography mind fuck.

Any Runners? (10K or marathon)

ScriptOhio
I saw this on the news the other day:

Runners scale the Great Wall in grueling marathon​

The Great Wall Marathon in China, which celebrated its 22nd anniversary on Saturday (May 17), saw 1,219 runners take part in one of the most challenging races of the year. The Great Wall Marathon includes about 3 to 4 miles on the Great Wall itself. The course also includes sections on the Great Wall Huangyaguan section, with 5,164 steps and 4 kilometers of uphill climb. The full marathon (26.2 miles) includes two sections on the Great Wall, while the half marathon (13.1 miles) and 8.5k fun run include one section

Just sayin':

1. Who know that there is actually a "marathon" that included 3 to 4 miles on the Great Wall?
2. Hell, I couldn't run a mile in under 6 minutes in high school. I'm not sure about traveling to China these days; however, that does look like a cool event.

Have you been to all of the NY6 bowl games?

Fiesta (Glendale), Rose for the Buckeyes

Peach (old stadium in ATL) when it was a second tier kind of Bowl but not for Buckeyes.

The only Bowl I’d likely travel to again is Rose. The rest are all just meh. Glendale in particular can go fuck itself back to the hell it is a portal to. It’s fucking cursed.

Glendale is the Ross-Ade of the west. They both have GOT TO BE mass burial grounds of some sort.

Just sayin': Good catch, my mistake......

I do appreciate people pointing out my errors. 1) maybe I won't make the same mistake again, and 2) shows I'm not wasting my time posting as someone is actually reading my posts.... :biggrin:

The NCAA passed legislation banning the use of any "performance-enhancing" substances in 1973, according to NCAA director of sports sciences Frank Uryasz. Uryasz said the ban included steroids, though it didn't single them out specifically.
  • Initial Ban: The NCAA passed legislation in 1973 that banned the use of any "performance-enhancing" substances, which included anabolic steroids.
  • No Enforcement: However, this initial ban was largely unenforceable as there was no drug testing program in place until 1986.
  • Drug Testing Program: The NCAA started its drug-testing program in 1986, making the steroid ban more concrete as athletes could now be tested and penalized for violations.

Not a smart move, especially considering that Peterson's former teammate, Will Smith, was shot to death in a road rage incident. Small guns can easily take down large men ... and you never know who's carrying.

This. CCW's are everywhere. Hell Kenny could have been packing. The balls to spit at a large black male.

TLDR; we suck as a species.

Sources: Mavericks plan to draft Cooper Flagg, won't trade No. 1 pick​

After making the biggest leap in NBA draft lottery history to land the No. 1 overall pick, the Dallas Mavericks plan to select Duke forward Cooper Flagg and will not entertain the possibility of trading away the pick for a proven superstar, sources told ESPN.

The Mavs had only a 1.8% chance of winning the lottery after being eliminated in the Western Conference's final play-in game to end a tumultuous, injury-ravaged season.
