Survey is Back
-
Your weekly survey is back. Here are some questions. Give your opinions:
1. Two part: Which of the recent Browns draftees do you think will have the best career ultimately
....and which one will win the Vince Mayle award by not making it through training camp before getting cut?
a) Coleman - he has transferable skills and even if he doesn't cut it in cleveland or as a WR, some creative guy like Billy B or Bruce Arians will find a way to make him excel.
Cut or PS? I can see a few PS candidates, but as for cut, Caldwell, the CB - we have Haden, T Williams, Gilbert, Desir, Gaines, K Williams, plus the new traded guy competing for 2-3 starting spots, maybe 6-7 roster spots.2. Are you in favor of the now Oakland Raiders moving to Las Vegas?
Vegas? No. Why? Terrible.
3. Of the current active teams in the NBA playoffs, who do you WANT to ultimately win it all?
....and who do you think WILL win it all?
Teams: Cleveland/Atlanta/Toronto/Miami/Golden State/San Antonio/OKC/Portland
Cleveland because why not, and I don't know.
4. Of the current active team in the NHL playoffs who do you WANT to win it all?
.....and who do you think WILL win it all?
Teams: Tampa Bay/New York Islanders/Pittsburgh/Washington/San Jose/St. Louis/Dallas/Nashville
Don't know, don't care
5. I don't want this to get political....just give the names: Who do you think Hillary should choose as her VP Candidate. Who do you think Trump should pick as his running mate?
Bernie Sanders (to re-engage the disillusioned millions who won't vote for her otherwise)
An establishment guy to unite the republicans, such as a Jeb or Rubio or someone.
6. This extra question comes from a travel board I patronize:
A. What do you think is the most beautiful college campus you have been to? (feel free to give several)
I haven't been to loads, but my alma mater is quite nice:
B. What famous tall towers or buildings have you been to the top of?
I used to work in Canary Wharf, near the top of one of the biggest towers, for four years, so, that one, plus several other work related ones, such as the Societe General towers in Paris, and a few others in London. Also, the CN Tower in Toronto (it was called that then at least, maybe it's changed, don't know). I'll be going up the Shard soon. Was planning to go up the petronas towers in KL but had to catch a flight. Apparently the empire state building as well, but I was 2, so don't remember it so much. Finally, the Eifel tower - but the arc de triumphe is much nicer and gives a better view.

I haven't been to loads, but my alma mater is quite nice:
The photos don't say which school this is....but those are certainly nice buildings.

My bad, it's the university of birmingham. Not in Alabama, the original.

You mean the star in the Constellation Cygnus?

In cygnus? No birmingham in that constellation that I know of? But sure, whatever floats your boat.

I'm going with Schoebert, a liked that pick a lot. Something tells me he's going to be real solid.
Ricardo Lewis, but hope I'm wrong. He has the size we all want to see.
2. Are you in favor of the now Oakland Raiders moving to Las Vegas?
No. I hate when fan bases get screwed over by greed.

5. I don't want this to get political....just give the names: Who do you think Hillary should choose as her VP Candidate. Who do you think Trump should pick as his running mate?
Hillary should choose her husband Bill ( but that won't happen). Trump should choose Carson.

Sears (now called Willis) Tower, Gateway Arch, Terminal Tower.
And I got you way beat in the mountain altitude game Gip. there is a thing called the Highpointers Club. You may have been to all 50 states- now get to the top of every one.
My score: Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado.
I do like the concept of the highpointers club.. I have perhaps been to a few....but only the very low ones. Just a few years ago I know I was at the "Highpoint State Park" in New Jersey. At the highpoint of the state they enhanced it by building a 200 foot tower to walk up.
In Florida, the high point is just the top of a grade at the side of a road.
I've been to Clingman's Dome, top of Mount Washington
I have "gazed upon" a few others from a distance, but never climbed to the top.

Yeah Gipper- you can drive right up to the Ebright Azimuth in Delaware, and Mount Elbert is prominently visible from near anywhere in Leadville Colorado. Speaking of Mount Elbert- it's the only time I've ever seen a porcupine in the wild- running around my campsite.
Campbell Hill- which is just outside of Bellfontaine Ohio, you can easily ride a bike to the top. At least it resembles a hill
Unlike Hoosier Hill, which isn't really much of a hill. (Just on the other side of the Ohio state line.) I rode my bike over there, and I could have sworn there was a spot on the road that looked a couple of feet higher- it's part of a guy's farm. You can almost drive a car to the top of Clingman's Dome, and from there it's just a short walk.
The others are slightly more challenging. The amazing thing about Harney Peak in the Black Hills is during the depression- they had a work crew build this three story rock fire lookout on top of a 7,000' mountain.
Gannet Peak in Wyoming is usually considered #2 in degree of difficulty after Denali in Alaska. (Though I might disagree after perusing the climbing route on Granite Peak in Montana.) A lot of people mistakenly think the Grand Teton is Wyoming's highpoint- but it's not. The Grand- been there, done that- is way more technically difficult, you had better know how to use a rope, and how to rappel. The first roped pitch, you're on an exposed boulder slab with 2,000' of air underneath you. The pine trees look like dots. Regarding Gannett- lotsa fun hiking 25 miles to Titcomb Basin with a 70 pound mountaineering pack, then going 1,000' up (and down) over Bonney Pass, and you still have to climb the booger. FWIW, I have a near identical framed picture in my bedroom I took from the the exact same spot at the top of Bonney Pass.
PS Gip, regarding your picture of the Twin Towers. When Bin Laden took them down- he also ruined a couple million bucks worth of high end wine that was stashed at Windows on the World restaurant that was at the top of one of them.
