Maybe head to Barrow, Alaska. There you can become freeze dried!!

bro i have up there in august make sure you pack some warm cloths
I am packing cigars, binoculars, shorts and T-shirts. If it's cold, I can think about Vegas. The wife is very excited about this trip. The thing I am going to enjoy is illuminating for all the passengers that the bottled water on the ship is recycled Caca-Peepee water and shower water. :-). A little Alaskan Ghoolie.........
The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL -
This time of year sucks. Luckily I will ne underway on my cutter for 90 days missing the 1st 2 months of games. You better believe though, I will have my Salute to Serice Myles Garrett jersey on every Sunday on the Boat.
DO you have any pictures to show? I would love to see them. It is always cool to learn about the real lives of posters, away from all this mental masturbation of being armchair GMs.
I'm 'only' 50 and feel the same as Ghools, and now that Supercross has ended I'll turn my attention to the IRL....... Hey, the 500 is only a few weeks away!
After that, the women's NCAA World Series is right around the corner and UCLA is currently ranked #1 in the country - and with a girl I used to coach leading the way in the circle...... I guess it's not all doom and gloom.
I think sometimes we hold on to schidt too long. I know I do. Things really are good here, busy, but so very, very different than I imagined my life would be. Here I am, 63 just about to launch a new water technology that honestly, could be the most important find in water treatment in history. Who knows? We will see. I look at the team now and forget my agitation about it being Browns V2.0, because it really doesn't matter now if the team ever left or not.........those days of Nelsen, Sipe, Bernie, and Brown happened in another lifetime. In my brain, it is as fresh as yesterday. I look at this team and think to myself, WTF, other than the old times, and buddies, keeps me coming back for more?
in one of the Gene Romero Zombie movies, one character asks another why there are so many zombies at the mall. The guy answers, " I don't know, maybe in the back of their brains there is a remnant that makes them want to be near something that was once familiar. I feel like one of those mall Zombies. God, do we deserve a winning team, or what?
I'm pretty busy lately, but yeah it sucks not having football...
Time to start watching soccer, guys! LOL. The World cup starts in three weeks and that's the only sports related thing I'm looking forward to. That and Osasuna's season ending sprint to reach the playoffs to play in Primera Division.
But yeah, I'm intrigued to see what we got in September. The only thing that I think could pull us down is Hue Jackson and now his role has been limited to a reasonable level with Haley in the building. Maybe this time things turn around for good?
Go Browns!!
I like boxing, but don't know anyone any more. For me, sports is football. That's what I got.
For me, sports is football.
It's even less for me. Sports is the Browns.
I used to love the NY Knicks (Walt Frazier - I modeled my game after him - Earl The Pearl, Dave DeBusher, Senator Bill Bradley, Willis Reed, Jerry Lucas bombing 3's - with no 3 point line- Phil Jackson - all shoulders & elbows- and D!ck Barnette off the bench)
...and the Yankees (Mantle & Maris, Clete & Clint Boyer, Bobby Richardson, Elston Howard, Jim Boutin, Tom Tresh, Joe Pepitone, Tony Kubek...)
Now, I quit watching basketball back when it turned into Gang Ball. - It's moved on from that but the Knicks always suck.
And baseball has just plain gotten boring. I'd rather watch golf.
I watch the Browns......(and occasionally IndyCar, IMSA, LeMans & F1 racing)

You will see awesome beauty. I spent 10 days in Alaska, not on a cruise.....it is magnificent.

Then drink some of that water from the ice that calved off a glacier. Perhaps you can develop a process for that.

Same thing they bitch about seeing in Colorado in August......................................................................Texians.
EDIT: You hear about the Texian who found out that 90% of the people who die do so within 5 miles of their home?
So he moved to Alaska.

Just curious....you say Texian.......but that team from Houston and the 3-4 teams that had that name before it says Texans. So? WTF is up with that?
And in any case, we here just call them DumbAss Texans....or Texians.

If you can afford it, do the combo cruise\ land tour. Wide open spaces, the last frontier. On a clear day you can see Denali (it's not Mount McKinley anymore) from the Glen Alps overlook outside Anchorage 150 miles away. Not kidding.

It can still be Mt. McKinley....to the non-politically correct.
Why just Mt. McKinley? Because it has the highest profile?
Why not Pike's Peak....it had a couple of Native American names:
- Tava
- Heey-otoyoo’
And look at all of these:

Regarding the coastal range mountains, the damn explorers didn't bother to ask the Indians, and probably couldn't pronounce them if they did. Pilimayah, Gip. Sioux for "Thank you". Think the Indians called New England, New England? As the saying goes, might makes right.
& Because us damn Americans (or British) want to stick our names to geographical landmarks. Mount McKinley got it's name because back then, someone thought it would be cool to name the mountain after President McKinley. It's rightful native name IS Denali- translation- "the high one". There's a bunch of Mount Washingtons around.
Furthermore, ahem- the Brits named Mount Everest after George Everest, the British Surveyor of India. As a mountaineer, sort of gets me POed. It's rightful local name- Tibetan Chomolungma, means “Goddess Mother of the World” or “Goddess of the Valley.” The Sanskrit name Sagarmatha means literally “Peak of Heaven.” BTW, the Nepalese at least named the national park that now surrounds Everest Sagarmartha NP.
Everest is one of the few big Himalayan peaks that got name debased by foreigners. (notably one of the others K2. was so remote, even the locals didn't have a name for it). Maybe they should have tried to rename Lhotse "Mount Victoria" while they were at it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest_mountains_on_Earth
LOL, my Himalayan cat Norman's Himalayan name is Namcha Barwa. Hehehe, as those Imperial units gradually go the way of the passenger pigeon, so will the Imperial names we've tried to stick on landmarks.

I would get over it. A lot of different places in the US are given native American names...including half of the states: Ohio among them. And some major cities. Chicago is a native word.
If the Indians didn't want the whites to come in and rename all that Sheet.....they should have had a lot more Little Bighorn's to their favor. (Even that has an "English" name).
Here....26 states have N/A names:

I am sure I will find God's Splendor jaw-dropping. Cathy has a tough time with me because of my love for Las Vegas and the desert. Since she is bound to 4 weeks vacation per year, I like to spend most of that going out West and am always thinking of Vegas when we are somewhere else. It's as if my Vegas hourglass is tipped and running. I have been fortunate in life to have traveled the globe. 3 years I supported myself as a musician throughout Europe and the UK. Got to the Eastern Block countries while the Iron Curtain was still a reality. Seen so much.
I finally convinced her that if she retires with me to Vegas, I will travel my balls off with her, because at the END of every journey, will be a flight to Vegas.
I hope I can make this dream come true. For her, and for me. I am going to be on my best behavior on the cruise. Hopefully I will love it.

Well....per the article, to be considered a Texian....you had to have been one of the original Anglo settlors of Texas.....NOT a descendant thereof. So....unless you are like over 200 years old and moved to and lived in the Republic of Texas......you are a Texan, not a Texian, Tex.
