  • I'd feel much better having my $ in a bona-fide sanctioned site as opposed to some of the hassle I've had with MyBookie at times.

    Talk with London Brown.....he was  looking for guys.    I have thought about  hooking onto an account with him just for an occasional flutter.

    See my post in another thread re the schedule.  Note I said that doing that Chargers game could be something I could consider.  Slight chance...but a chance.  They must schedule it when I am out there in November.

    So, what is the  policy status there about attendance now?

    Keep us informed on the status of SoFi stadium  as to whether they will have fans.   And what your plans would be. 

    Will do.

    I am there as long as it isn’t Thanksgiving Weekend or over Christmas week. 
     

    Tickets are going to be crazy.  Everyone wants to see the new “toy” and they were all locked out last year.  I was up there last month.  It looks amazing

    Believe it not Texas is considering approval of 4 major Casino complexes to take some of that money that has gone to La. and OK. for decades now. Ridiculous that we have to drive 5 hours one direction or the other just to entertain ourselves with slots & card games.  Sports betting is a part of it too. And Austin is one of the 4 sites.

    Hopefully they don’t dick around for 3 years as they have here.

    Neither city is in what is considered the South.  ...or both are.  Both are actually considered to be in the Southwest,  as demographers classify the nation.   I am aware that you are not learned enough to know what that is all about so I will explain  to you that demographic classification: 

    The Northeast   consists of the  6 New England states:  Maine,  Vermont, New Hampshire,  Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.  Plus  New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia (border state, but still demographically NE)

    The Southeast consists of:   Virginia,  North Carolina, Georgia,  Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee,  Kentucky,  Arkansas and Louisiana.

    The Midwest consistes of:  Ohio, Michigan, Indiana,  Illinois,  Wisconsin,  Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota

    The Southwest consists of:   Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, California

    The Northwest consists of:   Wyoming,  Montana, Idaho,  Oregon, Washington.

    So, maybe if Austin and  SFO have similarities, it is because they are from the same demographic area.

    I think some of these have changed over the past couple decades maybe longer than that...


    I’d probably argue that California, Texas, Florida have earned a classification on their own.   Politics...way of life...laws...etc. 
     

    California truly has no grouping similarities with the southwest - Colorado can’t stand us for many reasons..we hate Zonies...etc. Actually Central California would love to get a divorce from  So. Cal and other coastal CA areas.

    No, they haven't.  No one here has probably traveled more than I, and they are the same as I describe.

    Politics and "way of life"  can vary  from block to block in any town in America, including mine,    so you can't go with that.   Even around here  you can go from  urban ghettos to horse farms in 15 minutes. And geographically?   A little over a year ago  I went from the lowest point in the nation  and 50 miles later  I could look upon the highest point in the continental states. (Death Valley to Mt. Whittier is only a matter of 50 miles).   California, indeed has much similar to the southwest. Much of it is a desert.  Its just that, sure, in a  lot ofareas it has been paved over.

    39% of California is forest.

    Yes and 45% desert. And it’s huge tracts of farmland. And the rest urban.
