Merry Christmas! Happy Hannukah! Happy Kwanza!
The very best to y'all this Holiday Season!
I am hoping everyone is having a great holiday season, and your packages arrive in time.
It's a gray, cloudy day here, a but chilly. But l am still in the mood for ice cold beer, as usual.
Y'all have a great day!
Burrito, crunchy taco, rice, chips & salsa, and a couple of ice cold Dos Equis.
Congratulations to Wannabewordsmith on another Editor's Pick Award. The story is another superior piece of work. This award was well deserved.
It's really gotten cold in my neck of the woods. Early winter. I believe last year this time l hadn't even covered my pool. But it's never too cold for beer, ice cold beer. I'm having Dos Equis lager, and thinking about a shot of Tequila.
Y'all have a great evening.
Atlanta came in #33 on the EIU list. I really like living in Atlanta. Our biggest problem is traffic congestion and commute time. But we rate high because of reasonable cost of living and we have several outstanding hospitals that rank among the best in the USA. There are also three world-class universities in the metro.
Atlanta rates as the best city in the USA for African-American entrepreneurs and executives. It has also been ranked as the best city in the USA for college graduate millenials to start their careers. And ranks at #3 for LGBTQ living.
I like that we're just over an hour from the mountains, and have several accessible large recreation lakes for water skiing, sailboating, motorboating, and fishing. The city has the most tree coverage of any large US city. The night life is outstanding. And Atlanta is the Hip Hop capitol of the world.
The climate is subtropical, so we get a lot of sunshine and warm weather for outdoor activity, though the summer heat and humidity promotes a lot of nighttime outdoor activities.
Congrats John on MOTM! And Thanks for the awesome work you are doing here. You're certainly an outstanding Mod.
I guess BDSMers that don't use safe words are in for the extra thrill, kind of like those free climbers that scale massive straight up cliffs, skydivers wearing only wingsuits, etc.
Legendary football player Jake Scott has died at age 75. Jake Scott was the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl Vll. He was one of the star players of the 1973 undefeated Miami Dolphins, the only NFL team to have a completely undefeated season.
An All Pro several times, Jake Scott was also a legendary All-American in college for The University of Georgia Bulldogs, playing on the 1966 and 1968 SEC Champion Dawg teams.
While a student at UGA, Scott notoriously rode his motorcycle over the top of Stegman Coliseum, the basketball arena, making him an all-time campus legend, especially considering a host of other pranks.
Scott had lived the last few decades in Hawaii, refusing nearly all contact with news reporters. It is reported he fell and hit his head on a rock while playing golf. Scott is considered one of the true 'wildman' characters in the history of American football.
I invite you all in joining me in drinking to the memory of Jake Scott. Goodbye to a legend.
Sincerest condolences and hugs, Bill.
Bill, so sorry to hear of the loss of your wife. Our hearts here go out to you. You're a great guy and you have our sympathies and friendship.
The Spa would've been a better location for this thread. It didn't take the thread long at all to be hijacked.
Dustin Johnson won The Masters by 20 under par, the new record. Whoa!
I often get to attend The Masters, but no fans this year because of Covid 19. It had been postponed as well.
Who all is up for ice cold beer? I just opened an ice cold Dos Equis.
