That's a great location hit Bones up for dinner, or the Palm would be my suggestion.

re: If you had the money, what WWII plane would you buy to fly?

Posted by DawgSmoke on 2/22/15 at 1:25 pm

Most of these are priceless now, but having flown in a P-51 Mustang (twin seat)for the salty price of greasing some hanger doors while installing a camera system back in the 80's with a real live WW2 pilot at the helm was a once and done event. :usa:

re: Athens - What do you know about Kenney Ridge?

That's pretty interesting looking over their website. A lot of this stuff goes on around Black Mountain NC, so it's not unusual for me interacting with the conservationist type. I do belong to the GCS, but admittedly I assure you I'm not their favorite member.

What's your angle here if you don't mind me asking?

re: Can we stop Iran from building nukes?

Posted by DawgSmoke on 2/22/15 at 12:37 pm

Iran like them or not is a stable country. Amending our foreign policy and working with them is in our long term best interest. Our old puppet the Shah and his regime will not be making a comeback much like Batista and his lot in Cuba.

The region needs to police itself along with Europe/China who have a significant interest as their direct shipments of oil flow from the areas.

Or, the region should pay a significant sur tax for our policing the waters which could be enforced by the world bank of which we control presently.

It's really a nice state I have no idea why Georgia ever sold it along with Alabama & Mississippi.

re: Anybody going to Disney for vacation this year?

Disney reminds me of cruise ships and I despise cruise ships and tourists.

Probably not.

Cutting grass...

Just not going to happen, for the rest, of, my life. The biggest financial driver I have. I still have nightmares about having to cut our two acre yard (I grew up on) and that shitty push mower no illegal alien would be forced upon.

I miss this game!

quote:
For 60 years, Thanksgiving Day was a special day in the history of the Georgia - Georgia Tech rivalry. It was on that day that the Georgia and Georgia Tech freshman football teams, and in later years the junior varsity teams, met at Tech’s Grant Field. The game, played from 1933 to ’93, annually benefited the Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital and became a nationally-recognized event.

I think it would be good for the kids in general in getting them acclimated into a real' student setting. Who knows they might just learn something?

Everybody would have to do it including the Alabama teams to make it work like it should. "IMO" :cheers:

Why can't you do both? I wouldn't even stop there, get some precious metals and numismatic coinage going for you on the side. :cheers:

That's a great question and I was wondering it myself, as having one (or two) dating back when they started the things.

re: Crusaders vs. ISIS. Are they comparable?

Posted by DawgSmoke on 2/20/15 at 5:10 pm

Here is a book you should read, and yes some terrible deeds were done in the name of Christ during the crusades.

The Crusades: Iron Men & Saints by Harold Lamb.

You might discover a lot more about today than you thought was out there. :cheers:
