The 4th highest paid player on the Cincinnati Reds this year at $3.59 million is...Ken Griffey Jr. Which is a bargain becasue if he came out of retirement he just might be their best player. yahoo.com/news/ken-griffey-jr-…ontent=link&ICID=ref_fark

I'd love for the national championship game next year to be Iowa and UCONN. Clark vs Bueckers.

I just got an email from Amazon. They think I might like this book. pictures.abebooks.com/isbn/9781335630988-us.jpg

I think it's wise for you to consider your age/health in your decision making. Personally, I have no doubt that I could have done another thru at age 60. Today, I doubt it. My knees are about shot and at some point I'll need new ones. If I were to set out to do one today I believe I'd need 2 years, at least, to complete all 2,200 miles. Yes, I "could" start in January to give myself more time, but backpacking in snow and cold weather is not my idea of fun. I'm a 3 season backpacker; that 4th sea…

Quote from StalkingTortoise: “ Gettin' old ain't for wimps! ” My knees agree.

Remember, you don't need to be perfect when you start as there are plenty of opportunites to add/delete stuff as you walk. At mile 30 you'll walk thru Mountain Crossings which has a staff of former thru hikers who will be glad to look at your gear, tell you what should be sent home/added/upgraded etc and sell ya what ya need. You probably could show up there with nothing and leave fully equiped. There's a hostel at mile 70 that also has a small store. In Franklin, NC there is a shoe store with g…

Quote from IMScotty: “Quote from LIhikers: “.I'm glad that I got my senior, lifetime, national park pass while they were still free. ” I paid for mine this summer in Death Valley. Pretty much paid for itself right away.I was bummed that it was no longer called 'The Golden Eagle Pass.' I wanted to be a Golden Eagle! ” Easy. Take an online adult ed class from either Marquette or Southern Mississippi. Choose the school that has the best t-shirt.

I was Sabino Canyon in Tucson a few years ago which has a $5 parking fee. I went to pay the fee, the Ranger looked at me and asked my age, and told me I could get a lifetime America the Beautiful pass for $10 (this was just before the price increase). I asked, so I can park here once for $5 or pay $10 and it's forever? She replied, not exactly. You can park ANYWHERE the rest of your life for $10 -- not just here. Talk about a no brainer decision! I also have the Ga State Parks pass. State Parks …

<snip> (Gates of the Artic) "Considering this is a National Park, this may be one of the best places for people to get away from everything and everyone and enjoy the views in the footsteps of those who came 12,000 years before." "Warning There are no resources inside the park. Leave an itinerary with someone, have a printed map, and bring plenty of extra supplies. This is a truly isolated location." Given that write up I'll ask the obvious question... Why a picture that shows 9 tents on top of …

Quote from StalkingTortoise: “Youtube TV offered a quad screen where this was one of the four games. I switched to just this game over the last two minutes and watched the upset. ” I got this email from YouTube TV a day or two ago. I wonder how "select" our group really is. * We’ve picked you to try out our latest feature * Get excited! You’re one of the select few who get to experience multiview. Watch up to 4 March Madness® games at the same time, on 1 TV screen.* Look for live multiview strea…

I was out walking during the game, but the sports show I was listening to cut to the radio broadcast near the end of the game so I was able to hear the ending. Fairleigh Dickinson shouldn't have even been in the tourney. Merrimack won the Northeast Conference regular season AND beat Fairleigh Dickinson in the finals to win the conference tourney. But since they are in year 4 of their transition from D2 to D1, they run afoul of that stupid NCAA rule...

I got the War Corresondents question that we've seen several times before.

Quote from StalkingTortoise: “Nice comeback win for local team Xavier. ” I had a different analysis of the last 9 minutes of that game.

I don't play this game any more but you made me curious. I have a cell, a chromebook, and a windows laptop. All showed the GSMNP mileage question.

Quote from rhjanes: “Hmmmmm......I did today's question. There was no way I could see to "Click it a few times to boost stats". I use Firefox on a Laptop. I even closed the tab and reopened it. It opened showing me that I had correctly answered today's question. ” I tested it after readng Elf's post. Works on my phone, doesn't work on my chromebook.

Quote from Sarcasmtheelf: “I just discovered a glitch! If you want to boost your stats, simply keep clicking on the correct answer repeatedly! ” lol, that's great. I love stuff like this.

Quote from Sarcasmtheelf: “Out of curiosity, do we know who runs the ATQOTD site? ” A member here claims to be part of the hikeroo website (and no reason not to believe him) and although he doesn't do the ATQOTD (he does the map quiz) he knows the person who does. I haven't seen a post from him in awhile. Traffic Jam spotted the connection.

Quote from LtBk: “The pollen is so thick in Georgia that I just coughed up two dandelions and a pine cone....... ” I'm lucky. Pollen has absolutely no effect on me.

Sayanara and good riddance to Trevor Baurer who will be taking his penis and fists to the Japanese Central League and playing for the Yokohama DeNA BayStars (who?). He will earn $4 million for 1 year for pitching for the BayStars in addition to earning $22.5 million from the Dodgers who paid him to leave town.
