[quote]Absolutely recommend doing more than 1 if you have time.[/quote] I second that. The only problem is that staying on the west side of Zion, where they'll be, significantly increases the drive time to Bryce. If you want to do both Zion and Bryce, staying somewhere in the vicinity of the Hw...
[quote]He’s a fricking joke who doesn’t even know what the three branches of government are, and the fact that Alabama voters elected him over Jeff Sessions is a sad commentary on the collective intelligence of people in their state.[/quote] Don't forget him taking advantage of insider trading as ...

Yes, there was a bit of smartassness in there, but there's also a wealth of other information there just a few clicks away. I've never watched a WNBA game in my life and I don't have any plans to, but I'm not the least bit bothered that a company is putting it's product on the front page of their w...

[quote]College Football starts in two months. Can we not get any news related to that??[/quote] You do realize it only takes a click or two to get into the college football section right? At the top of my home screen, I see options for NCAAF, NFL, NBA and MLB. I don't see one for the WNBA. If ...
From Dave O'Brien on Monday via the Athletic - ***Metrics say they’re overdue Despite their struggles, the Braves led MLB in hard-hit percentage (44.5) and average exit velocity (90.4 mph) before Sunday, two metrics in which they also led a year ago, when they topped most major offensive cate...
[quote]I just think it sucks now.[/quote] Outside of the host, it's the exact same show. I think Jennings has done a good job. I still try to watch it as much as possible. ...

[quote]That's because other guys could hit. This has quite literally been the worst offense in baseball for a month. They're 30th (out of 30) in MLB in runs scored since April 26.[/quote] From this Athletic article: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5535586/2024/06/03/three-braves-takeaways-rep...

The Nantahala Outdoor Center is right down the road. The Appalachian Trail passes right through it, so you can hike on that in either direction for as long as you want. You can schedule all kinds of activities through them as well. They have a legit kayaking course there. It can be fun watch...

re: Turf Baseball Fields

[quote]Turf is great kids where there are not resources to keep a field nice.[/quote] I get the upkeep and maintenance argument, but kids need to learn to play on natural fields, imo. They need to learn to play on fields where the hops won't always be perfect. You think the kids in the Dominica...
[quote]We did Emerald Pools which is pretty typical for Zion trails. It had very strenuous stretches going up to the pools but is super easy coming back down.[/quote] Only the Upper Emerald Pools has a bit of an uphill stretch to get the actual pool. The middle and lower and pretty easy. There...
[quote]younger one using the WayB.[/quote] We had a friend who had one of these and borrowed that when we went to France in 2019. It was light and pretty easy to use and pack away on the plane. There are also inflatable booster seats for anyone that may need one of those. Very easy to inflat...

[quote]So what if I have Clear with Precheck? I have a TWIC card with work, and my Amex paid for the Clear membership? What do I do when I get there? Can my kids go through with me? My wife has Clear the same way but is not Precheck. She has to go in a separate line right?[/quote] If you...
Asian Wisterias are definitely invasive and can easily get out of control, but there are some non-invasive types in the US. https://gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/care/weeds-and-invasive-plants/wisteria.html...

re: Losing the Braves on Bally

I finally made the move to fubo. Comcast is actually directing people to fubo for 30% off the first two months. That's wild. I'm guessing they're trying to keep people from going to Directtv for 2 years, even though there is a streaming option for that that's month to month. Or maybe they have...
[quote]I'd get some stepping stones/pavers from Home Depot and get something to grow around them.[/quote] Thought about that too. We actually already have that closer to the house toward the front. We have some steps that come off the side of the house and have large stepping stones that lead t...
[quote]Zoysia[/quote] That's what we had and still sort of have. The one side closest to the fence is still in decent shape, but the middle and closer to the house are just sort of bare and spotty at best. We have a wildflower bed that takes up about 2 feet between the grass and the fence that...
I'm looking for the best option for groundcover plants that can also double as a walkway. It won't get significant foot traffic, but I'm trying to avoid a rock path. It may end up being that, but would like to have some sort of groundcover plants if possible. Our house faces directly west and...
