  1. I think it means people who have not gotten the new ID that is Real ID compliant.
  2. Passports count, correct?
  3. Day freaking one during the swearing in the wrecking ball needs to be doing work on destroying that monstrosity. Bulldoze it and drop off the remnants at MAL from an airplane.
  4. The sledding scene is probably the only one that is just off to me. Then again it ends in the Wal-Mart parking lot. I used to work directly next to that Wal-Mart and shopped in it regularly in Frisco,CO. The only way a mountain scene would have made any sense there is for them to be coming off the side of Copper Mountain behind the Wal-Mart. Just one of those suspension of disbelief scenes in a movie full of them.
  5. Bots, Nazis and grandpas just “doin’ their research.”
  6. I watched it at a screening two years ago and for an hour afterwards Chevy Chase answered questions for us about the movie. I go every year to see it at the theater on the day it is shown. My niece and nephew back in Texas use a Christmas Vacation stocking with my name on it above their fireplace.
  7. You crossed the rubicon with that one buddy. Cousin Eddie will be pulling up into your driveway for an extended stay.
  8. This is pretty awesome and why football is a bit different out here. So happy for this young man to be embraced the way he has been by Hawaiians.
  9. They were all just cartoons to me, including the California Raisins!
  10. Read that for class this semester. I loved it. Highly recommend it. Larson wove a fantastic narrative out of the participants actual words and actions.
  11. The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors by James Hornfischer. Not a better book about the US Navy has ever been written in my opinion. The events of that morning on October 25th, 1944 are just legendary and the opening salvo from Commander Ernest Evans started what eventually became one of, if not the most, unlikely wins in naval warfare history for any country.
  12. I did not watch this game, but I recognized maybe half those guys playing for New Orleans when I looked at the score against the Lakers. I did not know Bey was still in the league. Someone has to score on bad teams so might as well be him I guess. Looks like Luka and Reaves went foul hunting with 26 free throws combined.
  13. When everyone is putting up numbers the stats lose their luster. Good for Jalen Johnson, but again when so many guys can put up stats in the hyperfast era of the NBA it is not really a big deal. It's just normal and eventually teams that have to pay these guys for doing the new normal will figure it out and adjust accordingly. Austin Reaves is going to get paid well, but his stat line is inflated if for no other reason than he's quite the free throw merchant.
  14. I celebrate their entire catalog. I want to see them finish just above the Pelicans in the standings.
  15. This is Italy attacking Ethiopia, but without the revenge element for the Battle of Adwa.
