You all obviously hit grocery stores...
But, I love to go to city parks (ex. English Garden in Munich) and people watch and chat usually with older folks.
I do concerts a lot...such as going to a country concert (Brad Paisley (go ahead and hate) in Dublin as the crowds are a different vibe than the US.
And this one is a little harder but most big cities in Europe have pubs that do not allow phones. It really makes people talk. In March, was in a pub in Cork and the wife and i were just enjoying ourselves when the guys at the bar said come help us with the crossword. Had some good laughs and conversations with them.

As a Caps fan...happy with the 1st round. A few quick thoughts.
1. No injuries, and we got back Protas. And he helps greatly with the PK.
2. The clearing of the puck from our zone has to improve. Carlson and Sandin have to do better or the forecheck from the Canes will kill us.
3. OV ...wow...what a PP goal last night
4. Wilson broke the Canadiens with that Game 4 hit
5. Ryan Leonard is going to be player you love on your team, hate if he is not. He is maturing quickly.
6. McMichael played terrific...and Dubois defense has been great...need him agains tthe Canes 1st line

Two games in a row where the Caps disappeared in the last 10 minutes of the 3rd. Thank god Logan was in God mode as Montreal was taking advantage of every chance.
There were too many TOs and mental mistakes in the last 10.
But again, it is a W in the playoffs, so will not complain too much.
Protas practiced yesterday without the no contact jersey, would like to get him back for his size and speed.

Caps dominated for 50 minutes and that 10 minutes they let up, Montreal made them pay. Hopefully a good learning lesson for them and lucky to get the W. Fun night of hockey. That blowing lead triggered so much ptsd of playoffs past
Like you, 2-2 here we ($&@@$&$) go again....
And I usuallly never do this with the Caps...
* Logan has not played in a few weeks and looked like he did not miss a beat
* the team has not played a meaningful game in months and had passion...found a way to win
* we are missing Protas and Martin Fehervary and looked pretty good
* Ryan Leanord will only get better...showing some flashes

Constructors minus the Championship (of course things can change) seems to be a great battle this year...

No Thomas Dolby slander allowed :nana:
And Kiss was and always will be Kiss...whatever the hot trend they will try and jump on...remember we went from "heavy" stuff like Dr. Love, Detroit Rock City to I was made for Loving You disco...to 80s hair metal attempt...and never hated them for it...
But the best worst video of the 80s... :bow:
Wham Club Tropicana

Only 4 races into the season, but my non expert thoughts...
* New blood has been good for F1...ANtonelli and Bearman really shining...and Hadjar has shown some great mental strength after the disastrous Australian start
* HAAS - yes, I am biased, but Ayao and team have been great on strategy and Ocon has been racy...it could fall apart but to be where they are now considering some of the testing is amazing
* McClaren - only thing I see stopping them is Norris getting angry as it seems to be Piastri's team now...will he get the calls
* Sauber - what you would expect...
* Aston Marting - woof...they are bad
* Williams - showing some spark but almost feels like Haas a few years ago early where they were getting run into, and pure unlucky a few times
* Red Bull - how many races will Max be able to pull out...this seems like it might be over as frankly does not seem like any answers...and Yuki is at least much better than Liam
* Alpine - not much to say, but glad to see Pierre get some points...hopefully gets more competitive
Ferrari - good strategy a couple times, a couple mind melts, etc...typical Ferrari...i do think Lewis still has it and will get better as he gets more comfortable...but you can tell Charles is frustated
Mercedes - #2 team?
