This was a great series to watch, and I am pleasantly surprised we are going to Omaha (personally I think Augie has something to do with it 🤘). Overall, I think pitching held up for the most part, and our at bats improved throughout the weekend. The only thing is I hope Henley's performance today doesn't mess with his mental game in Omaha.

Intellegence Matters with the former acting Director of the CIA Michael Morell. -- I have always been interested in the intellegence community, and have really enjoyed conversations and explanations about complex security issues from people who are knowledgable about the various moving parts. It can sometimes get political, but I think he is pretty good about inviting people from both sides of the aisle. However, if you dont listen to any other episode, everyone should take a listen to the January 9th, Secret Artifacts: A journey through the worlds most secretive museum. The episode discusses various artifacts held at the CIA, which are not open to public viewing, and it was by far one of the most interesting podcast episodes I have listened to. [availiable here: https://www.thecipherbrief.com/podcasts/intelligence-matters or here: https://intelligencematters.libsyn.com/secret-artifacts-a-journey-through-the-worlds-most-secretive-museum; unfortunately, it seems to be only available online after it recently changed "owners".]

Oops, photo noob. Here is my retry:

I cant believe it has been over a year since I posted on my favorite thread. Let me reintroduce Ellie, my lab mix. Unfortunately, I have a few questions related to parvo exposure: tl;dr - my vaccinated 2.5 yr. old dog was exposed to parvo Wednesday (via roommates 11 week old pup), so I’m wondering whether there is anything I need to do at this point & how much disinfecting needs to happen? My roommate acted like the pup’s vet said we didn’t need to do anything, but after researching, a lot of articles recommended throwing away all porous objects - including toys, beds, bones, collars, leashes. Plus, of course bleach is basically the only thing that kills the virus, and our carpet and laminate can’t be bleached. So has anyone previously dealt with parvo and have advice? I am calling my vet later, but sometimes they give advice based on the worst case scenario that costs mucho dinero. I also know I will be stuck with all the required cleaning, but at least it will be done right.

If I remember correctly it was around 4.5 hours from Kings Cross to Edinburgh. It was a beautiful trip, and somewhat easier than navigating Heathrow more than necessary. Either way, I think that it would be possible to hit London, Edinburgh, and some of the Highlands (depending on how many sites you want to see).

I think there is plenty to keep you busy, and exploring the Alps would probably be more relaxing than staying in a city for a full week. I went at the end of June a few years ago, and this is what we did in or near Munich/Saltzburg/the Alps, plus how long we were there - hope this is helpful: Munich - Dachu, BMW Museum, Hofbrauhaus, and day trip to Rothenberg (there for about 2.5 days) Saltzburg - Sound of Music Tour, Hohensalzburg Fortress, Mozart's Birthplace, and day trip to Berchtesgaden Salt Mine (there for about a 1.5 days) Annaberg, Austria - white water rafting, hiking, and mostly relaxing (there for about 2 days) - I believe there are a lot of little ski towns that have activities similar to what you would find in Colorado in the summer. However, if you do decide to go to London, it is pretty easy to take a train to Scotland, which has been the favorite place I have visited.
