    About 20 years ago in The Woodlands a neighbor of ours tried to catch what she thought was a stray cat. It was a bobcat.

    Kansas City/Overland Park is the only place I would consider moving to outside of the state of Texas. Lived there in the late 89s/early 90s for a couple of years. Great people, great city.

    RollLeft, that's a cool idea even without kids.

    About 18 mos ago I was contacted by a search firm asking if there was anyone in my network who they should speak with about an open Board seat at Theranos. I had never heard of Theranos and started checking around...not my proudest moment as a few responded with "ahhh.....how 'bout NO!" Saw over the weekend that Mad Dog Mattis was on the Board.

    See Poldark mentioned above. It isn’t the best one out there but not a bad way to kill an hour on a Sunday evening.

    Wife and I are powering through Downton Abbey now. How did I manage to miss this? Maggie Smith character has us both laughing. Sort of a "period film" but try streaming "The Durrells in Corfu"....its a British comedy. Keeley Hawes' character makes the show. Very well done. Be sure to start from the beginning. I've mentioned it elsewhere but "The Collection" is a great post-war Paris fashion industry piece. Great acting. "Alias Grace" is good as well.

    Let's not forget that our AD had to fly to Oklahoma to close an OC hire from the University of Tulsa. Let that sink in....

    I have 6 global upgrade certificates on UA and have yet to find a flight where I can use them. I’m beginning to think they’re worthless. Nothing but waitlists

    We don’t head down under until late February. We fly in from Hobart and will rent a car and go direct to Katoomba. Was there a particular hike you recommend? Also, I notice you weren’t killed by a spider or snake. Well done.

    Bullshit....plenty of fat people at the breakfast buffet at the Four Seasons...but they may not have been from Wisconsin.

    For diplomats themselves...this is what they sign up for. It's not all cocktail parties and hookers. I'm pretty sure there have been contacts with the right people in the military to advise them of the pure folly of over running the embassy. They will want to be on the right side of this WHEN maduro goes.

    I'm confused by the thread title. Was the dying beaver on meth or was it the perv?

    I fly all the freekin' time for work (humble brag). To me there is nothing like a good road trip. Wife (still no pics) and I re headed East this summer through TN headed to Asheville and Great Smokey Mtns.

    Digdog is correct....its about 4 1/2 hours Bryce to Moab. That assumes you drive it straight through but if you are sucker for scenic overlooks you won't make it straight through. When made this drive 2 summers ago we ducked into Capitol Reef...we were in there for probably 2 hrs (not near enough). Also....wife (no pics) reminded me we drove from Bryce all the way to Mesa Verde. We ate and gassed up in Moab. That's where the 8 hours comes from....though she remembers it being nearly 10. When we cruised into Mesa Verde we were exhausted.
