Chris Cornell anything, but two great ones on on the Unplugged in Sweden album : Billy Jean, and Redemption Song going into Peace, Love and Understanding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z48RC_S8h3w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEULrhg2vYg

For me, the GSW playbook got even more interesting because of this, as the ball is passed around even more than it was before. It's even more of a team play than ever. Don't get the KD hate at all. It doesn't seem surprising to me that a supremely talented guy has a chip on his shoulder or is rabid in protecting his image off court. On the court, he seems pretty business like to me.

Seriously - one of the most electric atmospheres ever at Memorial in my time there. They were so hyped at that point, and we just crushed them.

Personally, I think Grenache is a perfect wine - at least for the type of food I often cook, and what I'm in the mood for from a bottle. Really like Quivera for example.
-
Good to know - Healdsburg is one of my favorite spots. I mean to say, it's terrible and overpriced and too far to drive. Everyone should focus their time in Napa/Sonoma.
-
This. Once upon a time, there was no 'there' there...but they've really continued to add attractions.

A Lando spinoff with Donald Glover would be great, but I'd like KK to not have a controlling interest for once. Can we give Lord/Miller another change to make something with a little edge and creativity?

Yes, girls and boys belong in Scouts I'm not sure I know enough to agree with the first sentence yet (ask me in a year). But I wholeheartedly endorse the ending point.

Not intelligence - It's a matter of training. I don't have enough time to get in the saddle time for long successive days. But I can train for repeated short violent days. With alcohol. I will say that the south side of the Tourmalet is one of the most unattractive euro ski villages ever created. The climb from Luz is far more preferred and scenic, so maybe you want to train for the other direction (or perhaps you'll be so cross-eyed you won't care).

2018 Pro Cycling: Team Sky Goes Postal, the Chris Froome Saga (Plus TdF)
Txzen replied to G650's topic in Other Sports
Froome clearly thought he couldn't come in 100% on form and hold it for both the Giro and Tour. Looks like he may have underestimated the field. Or he's off the salbutemol. Happy for Yates, but there's a lot of racing. Pinot is a head case - let's see if he can hold it together for three weeks. He's been close before. . . -
It's France. Probably can get it at any roadside pharmacy. Can't help you with the Circle of Death. My schedule was usually: rise, croissant, 1 -2 climbs, lunch (with wine), back to B&B, cocktail hour, dinner, bed. Rinse, lather, repeat. Did not inlcude any garbage miles between climbs, instead preferring afternoons off for Negroni taste-tests.

I'm happy to say I've done three France trips. One was the Alps/Provence (Alpe d'Huez, Telegraph/Galibier, and Ventoux) and two trips to the Pyrenees (Hautacam, Tourmalet, Luz Ardiden, Soulor/Aubisque, Col Spandelles, Pla d'Adet, Plateu de Beille, La Hourquette d'Ancizan/Aspin). Let me know if you want any advice!

For the most part, these are nuisance bears. Don't leave anything in your car which could be construed as food (including suntan lotion, etc). The hard thing with any of these parks are the crowds. Start early. If you hike more than 100 yards from a parking spot, the crowds go down by 90%. Case in point, the Congress Trail, which is spectacular. Everyone want to jump out and take pictures with the General Sherman tree, but if you walk a bit you almost have the place to yourself. Almost. Note that it takes a long time to drive from deep within Sequoia to Kings Canyon - particularly if you are wanting to go the Cedar Grove area (which you should). The hiking there is similar to Yosemite - you need to hike up to get the views as you are in the valley. Moro rock pushes my vertigo - so I prefer the big/little baldy hikes. Maybe not as awe-inspiring, but I don't feel like I'm going to die (other than the slog to the top).

I guess. There will be some challenges, no doubt, but most of the world (other than the Middle East, it seems) have figured out how to make Scouts co-ed. I have faith we'll figure it out as well. Our Troop appears to be the first in our Council to have girls join (2 are in the wings, as they can't really officially join in on the activities until next year).

And my friend Brian Temple He thought he could make it So from the third story he jumped And he missed the swimming pool only by inches And everyone said he was drunk

Just goes to show you can travel all over the world and still not get it.

I don't disagree that London and Paris are cities which in many ways completely embody the international perception of what the country is. But saying London is England or Paris is France is just silly. You can't understand either country if you limit yourself to those capitals.

I'm convinced that some of the best food in Hawaii (any island) is found in the most ugly looking grocery stores. On the way to Haleakala, the 'Superette' in Pukalani has an absolutely incredible selection of poke and some hot items as well. Well worth grabbing something for a picnic lunch on the crater. Thank me later.

Just got 2 feet of rain - big time flooding. Hanalei not looking too good right now. http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/37959055/dozens-of-homes-damaged-on-kauai-floodwaters-close-roads

For snorkeling, I really like a small bout trip (not a cattle call) to Molokini. Also the inflatable pontoon boats that go to Lanai (sharkfin cove can be spectacular).
-
Gimme money I'm amazed they are still around - apparently working on a Zika test. Interesting, as they had to halt development some time ago. Can't imagine what the review would be like with the agency on this one.

Shit, I was about to brag about my trip to Banff/Lake Louise this weekend but not after the first few posts. . .
-
I live on the Left Coast, and there's a whole discussion about new cell towers proposed in our 'hood. I could close the thread with this shit, but I don't have the desire to dredge it up. Some truly amazing tinfoil hat stuff, which is more remarkable as I'm not in a 'reformed hippy' area, more like 'limousine liberal'. Amazing, I say.
-
The North Shore can still be really rough this time of year, which is a shame as in the summer (IMHO) that's where you want to be as far as snorkeling. It's still beautiful, though. Many good restaurants in Hanalei (Tiki Man Pizza, Hanalei Gourmet, Blue Dolphin). All are causal, though Blue Dolphin is a little more dressy (in that you probably shouldn't show up in a wet swimsuit). Reservations really needed for BD as well.

Using a CC in Europe (or Canada, for that matter), you realize how backward we still are with this stuff. They had chip for ages, and I really prefer the 'bring the machine to your table' thing, so that it never leaves your possession.
