If you're in the woods, and you're using the outhouse, and you somehow manage to drop your phone down the hole...just accept whats happened and leave it alone. kake.com/story/46351699/woman-…CtqHIXDFy3Q1SCx1uzhPL4iN0

I didn't think e bikes were allowed on the Silver Comet Trail (the rails to trails conversion near me which goes from Cobb County to Alabama) but I saw some. Turns out they are legal as long as you keep it under 20 mph. They must have changed the rules; I know when it first opened 20 or so years ago I'm sure I saw signs that said it was "non motorized". I'll have to look for the signs next time I go and see how they've changed.

Quote from Astro: “Quote from max.patch: “A better question would have been -- Where was the last section of the original AT opened in August, 1937? ” If I rember right the plaque is between Spalding and Sugarloaf. It was the afternoon just before I tore my meniscus and had to limp down the side of Sugarloaf on one leg (and my poles) and then cross the Carabasset River as it got dark. ” pic: shehikesmountains.com/wp-conte…ng_4-28-21_26-scaled.jpeg

The conference suspended the batter 2 games for taunting. They suspended the pitcher 4 games for the attack; but the college has already kicked him off the team. The conference also suspended a bunch of players 2 games for leaving the dugout and coming onto the field after the attack.

A better question would have been -- Where was the last section of the original AT opened in August, 1937?

Sugarloaf got me too!

I haven't noticed a pattern but it's certainly possible as the questions are written by a human being who may have an unintentional bias as to how the answers are presented. I'll start paying attention -- I like number games. So Doyle has done X number of thru hikes. Picture how you define a thru hike in your mind. Now...how many of those do you think has Doyle done?

I'd feel safe -- Covid is still out there -- catching an A's game. After "attracting" 3,748 on Tuesday, they beat that last night with 2,703. Reminds me of a Braves game in the 70's on a hot August night where the attendance was 500 something. The Braves had 4 years in the 70's where average attendance was less than 10,000 per game. The worst was 1975 was when the average attentance was 6,683. Surprisingly, this was only 23 out of 24 MLB teams -- the Giants averaged 6,456. Start of last nights g…

Batter musta broken an unwritten rule. youtube.com/watch?v=-rnUwU2ztW0 Larger image on Twitter: twitter.com/i/status/1516860888766193664

Jake Peavy won a gold glove in 2012 so of course he used his actual gold glove when pitching for the Bananas (who comes up with this stuff?) My first reaction was they just spray painted a regular glove gold. But...google tells me a MLB gold glove is "made from gold lamé-tanned leather and affixed to a walnut base". And every news source is reporting this as factual. So it's possible...true or not ya gotta love the creativity. If this is not legit they fooled a lot of reputable news sources (I g…

Quote from Astro: “Miss 27 calls in one game! I guess you could say he was consistent with his inconsistency. sports.yahoo.com/umpire-missed…g-27-calls-210544185.html ” No harm done, Oakland won 7-5 and his missed calls were only worth 1.4 runs.

Quote from IMScotty: “Unidentified deceased Hiker found on AT appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…4a5b8acedd6865a0c76539850 ” <snip> GBI identifies hiker found dead along Appalachian Trail By WSBTV.com News Staff April 18, 2022 at 4:38 pm EDT BLUE RIDGE, Ga. — A man found dead along the Appalachian Trail in Fannin County was from Pennsylvania.

That's pretty sad reading. There have always been "pink blazers" but this seems to have progressed way past that. Thanks for posting the link. You've posted previous years, and I enjoy the various other surveys (linked at the bottom). I think it's interesting to see what shoes, tents, food, etc that the current crop of hikers are using.

Triple play the hard way. <snip> In what ended up being a 4-1 loss, Virginia turned a terrific double play with a step-on-home-throw-to-first move. But first baseman Devin Ortiz thought it was out No. 3, so he tossed the ball toward the mound and began to walk off the field. He realized there were only two outs and a runner at third was coming home. So Ortiz ran, grabbed the ball and threw out Sky Duff at home for a very unconventional triple play.

They went out and got Bill Lee someone his own age to talk to. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DF5ZHqE_Nec[media]

They got beat so it's not totally like the Washington Generals playing the Harlem Globetrotters. They are now 8-3 on their World Tour. Family entertainment; we took the boys to see the Globetrotters every year for a while, I sure they would have enjoyed this also. The guy on stilts (9' 11") came on in relief. I gotta say...I enjoyed the rule that prohibits the batter from stepping out of the box. If you do it it's a called strike -- so no one did it Next move is yours, Manfred. They've sold out …

The Georgia AT has plenty of road crossings, both "normal" paved roads and forest service raods, so it is easy to pick a section that fits your mileage preferences. For a 50 mile section, you can start at Springer (the start of the AT) which is accessed on a good forest service road and hike to Unicoi Gap on GA 75 which is on a paved road with a large parking area. There are towns both east and west of the gap about 10 miles away. For a 60 mile section you could start at Amicalola Falls State Pa…

I just an alert on my phone...Savananah Bananas are on YouTube Live tonight. Playing the Party Animals on the road in Columbus, GA. Pregame started at 6 eastern; first pitch at 7. (What are they going to talk about for an hour?) The line to get in the stadium is unbelievable. youtube.com/watch?v=_qkJmwzjwg4 ETA: Bill Lee starting pitcher.

I thot this guy retired. Apparently not. Sterling was the Braves announcer years ago. I never liked him. To his credit, 83 years old and still working. youtube.com/watch?v=jjSCUhftEEM
