    US 50 across Kansas

    Anyone made this drive in recent years? I did it as a kid, but it’s been a long time. Considering this route over I-70 to get my kid to college in the fall. It’s shorter, but more time consuming.

    Why did people live in bland looking rectangular houses in the 1980s?

    I’ll take my bland, rectangular box of a home that we built in 2000 any day. $644/month on 7.4 acres, thank you very much.

    2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs anyone?

    WE stayed home - we were in the midst of a thunderstorm at home when it was time to leave, so we’re watching on TV.

    Which Popular Bucket list ideas would you never want to do?

    Sky diving is at the very top of my “rhymes with bucket” list! Mountain climbing - I’d do that, but nothing dangerous. I’d love to see Everest up close, but absolutely no higher than base camp. No walking the edge at any altitude! White water rafting I’ve done & loved, though nothing too...

    Stevie Nicks is AWFUL!!

    Not sure what resurrected this, but I felt her inclusion in the HOF as a solo artist was a HUGE stretch. There are literally dozens of more deserving artists from the same genre & era. I do give her credit for being an instrumental part of Fleetwood Mac, and as a group, they have absolutely...

    Oh, Shawshank is the opposite for me. I HAVE to watch if I see it’s on!

    What Movie did you love, but

    My daughter can’t watch The Cowboys again. “You just don’t kill John Wayne”, in her mind. It’s always been one of my favorites. Love Where The Red Fern Grows & it’s the first book I couldn’t put down (saw the movie first). But, tears will flow.

    Their is noise from the NFL

    Actually, I have thought of San Antonio, though I had then figured into the mix at 36 teams, not 34. FTR, the greater San Antonio metro area has 2.4 million people compared to 2.8 million in St Louis, though SA is growing at a much faster rate with rapidly growing Austin reasonably close by.

    Their is noise from the NFL

    St Louis is the biggest US TV market without a team IIRC, so that seems an obvious choice. I’ve often thought Boise might be a good spot.

    What Movie did you love, but

    There are none that I love, but refuse to watch again. But, two that were very difficult to watch were American History X and Saving Private Ryan (edit: I HAVE seen both more than once). The Shootist is nearly on that level as seeing John Wayne killed in his final film is pretty depressing...

    Car people - 2006 Lexus IS 250 AWD

    Okay, just talked to the guy who has the car. Check VSC (stability control) light is on, but claims the car runs & drives fine - definitely not in limp mode. From what I’m reading, this is often caused by a loose vacuum hose or gas cap. Doesn't sound like he knows much about cars. Any...

    High School Class Reunion

    I went to my 30th. Despite never living more than 14 miles from my HS, it was a great chance to reconnect with people who were friends, but not CLOSE friends in HS. Some people I didn’t associate with in HS have cleaned up their act and have similar interests to me now - ditto for many who...
