Wow. These guys are serious. youtu.be/snTwJzUPrjY?t=293

That's a good one.

I have an ESPN+ account primarily to follow the Kennesaw State basketball team. I just read that they are now streaming some Savannah Banana games. There are 2 games available now for streaming. Looks like I need to delay cancelling my subscription for a bit. So I checked out the rules. Some of them are quite "interesting" to say the least. Under the video is a brief explanation of the 9 rules. thesavannahbananas.com/banana-ball-rules/

Quote from odd man out: “Quote from max.patch: “I realize that the national media slobbers every time the Yankees play the Red Sox, but did ESPN really need to show the same game last night on both ESPN and ESPN2? Note to ESPN -- if you want me to watch your broadcast the last thing you want to do is to showcase ARod and have him and Michael Kay talk over the game (ESPN2). I gave em about 30 seconds and flipped to something else. I don't like the format and I don't like him. ” Is that the same f…

I guess I'll have to catch it on the news, although I have a bunch of relatives in the 100% totality area in NW Ohio.

Emory University (in Atlanta) sez...You haven't gotten your Covid vaccination booster shot yet -- enjoy your dial-up internet speed. <snip> Emory University limits internet access for unboosted students. Emory University has launched a program to limit internet access by students who have refused to get a COVID-19 booster shot, the school said. The program is designed to encourage students to get a COVID-19 booster shot. The school’s policy requires students and faculty to have a COVID-19 vaccin…

I sure don't like walking up the 600 steps at Amicalola Falls State Park!

Only one way to resolve this -- next time on the AT I'm gonna count blazes on a 1 mile section.

Kinda makes you wonder if every team is going to sign a "designated pinch runner" like the Athletics did in 1974-75 with Herb Washington. I googled him to make sure I had the name right, and thot his wiki page was interesting. Here's the baseball part. <snip> In 1974, Washington was tapped by Oakland A's owner Charlie Finley to become the team's "designated runner". Finley and Washington worked out a one-year $45,000 contract with a $20,000 signing bonus. The contract had an unusual clause requi…

Quote from IMScotty: “I dispute today's answer. Using their number that would work out to a blaze every 70 feet. A blaze every 70 feet! In some locations yes, but in others blazes that close together would be overkill. Unless they are counting blazes on both sides of a tree? Then they would average 140 feet apart. That sounds more reasonable. Hmmm? ” That stupid question messed up my "perfect" thru hike a few days ago. I also thot the number was high, so I googled it at the time. The source is s…

Quote from Astro: “Quote from max.patch: “Yikes! Road to Clingmans Dome was supposed to open tomorrow, but... <snip> KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - Great Smoky Mountains National Park officials announced Thursday that the Clingmans Dome Road season opening would be delayed until at least April 11. Park officials said the decision was made following a weather forecast that could mean up to seven inches at high elevations in the park on April 8. ” Another reason to not start a NoBo until mid-April or e…

This is harder than you'd think it should be until you try it. Today, after my 3rd guess I had all the letters. Even though none of them were in the right place, it was pretty obvious that I was going to lose on my 4th guess. (At that point it was not much of a "guess".) If you have a yellow letter you have to continue to use it on all future guesses. You can continue to use it in the same location -- delays the inevitable a bit.

Yikes! Road to Clingmans Dome was supposed to open tomorrow, but... <snip> KNOXVILLE, Tenn.

Oh no...I just discovered anti wordle. It's the opposite of wordle -- you try to NOT guess the word. Cut and paste: Avoid guessing the hidden word in as many tries as possible. Sounds easy, but there's a catch! - If you guess a letter that's not in the word, it's grayed out and you can't use it again. - If you guess a letter that is in the word, it turns yellow and you must include it. - If you guess a letter in the exact position, it turns red and is locked in place. - Like in WORDLE, there's a…
