    July 4th: I’m almost 50, but I’ll never stop loving…

    …the grand finale at a fireworks show. Took our kids to small town show in PA tonight. Laying in the grass on a ball field. It was a great show, but a small town so we were able to sit really close. Almost felt with the fireworks were going to land on my face. I don’t care. There are not...

    Dobson comments on commitment to Gamecocks (wet blanket alert)

    The crappy thing is, we’re not in a position to be choosy or have any real standards. We’re just gonna have to keep eating crap and kissing this kid’s butt in spite of these ridiculous comments.

    40 years ago in Columbia

    I live in Maryland now and it gets decently warm and humid here. But I like to think that living in South Carolina helped me build up a decent immunity to it.

    Dobson comments on commitment to Gamecocks (wet blanket alert)

    The worst part is when he said “it’s long from over”. This is why I prefer Dabo’s approach.

    Yeah, I was trying to be positive in the other thread and then he goes and says this lol

    Dobson comments on commitment to Gamecocks (wet blanket alert)

    Just saw video of him talking about his commitment: "I think it's long from over obviously until I sign that dotted line. But for now I'm really 1,000% committed to the Cocks." If you don't laugh, you'll cry.

    Another big football pickup

    I know fans worry about the flips (me included) but it's not as common as it feels. A team is likely to lose half of their recruits to the portal at some point though.

    The logic of soccer

    Yeah, there is medical tourism to Mexico. I was speaking generally, but people do all sorts of dumb things. I don't think I'd go to get healthcare in a country where it's not even safe to drink the water.

    Does anyone go to the movies anymore?

    I'm also turned off to movies in general b/c so many actors have decided to be highly vocal politically. They've always been a heavily democrat (at least in my lifetime....Hollywood used to be Republican if you can believe it) but they've become maniacally so. I get a kick out of these B-list...

    The logic of soccer

    I despise the ABS system in baseball for all the same reasons, but it at least it's limited to 2 challenges per game to use it. An ump might call a pitch a ball, but on challenge they throw up the computer generated strike zone and zoom in on the ball to see if maybe a frayed end of thread from...

    The average tax rate in France is close to 30%. Canada is even higher. It's about 15% here. One thing I know. People come to America for healthcare. Americans don't go elsewhere. Feel free to go to Canada and enjoy that free 22-hour ER wait time.
