There are over 100,000 Christian churches in the USA and the vast majority of those churches are smaller than 100 in attendance.

These churches are not loaded in money. Most of those churches are just breaking even or losing money and they are helping many members of their own church.

You learn who knows how to game the system for sure.
Churches try to help but they cannot help everyone.
I have silenced any calls or facetime notifications from anyone not in my contacts. If it is important, they can leave a message. This helps tremendously.

I also have blocked many numbers as well.

But due to two factor authentication for many websites, you cannot silence or block all texts from anyone not in your contacts. If a spam texts gets through, I just block that number.

My biggest issue is spam emails. The emails come in waves, but I can get 15 or so overnight and 30-40 a day. You can block the address, but it just comes from another email address again later.

re: Describe your Hole in One(s)

I have witnessed 3 aces.
1 of them was my only one.

It was at the now defunct Harry Pritchett Golf Course in Tuscaloosa. The layout was different. It had a front 10 holes and a back 8 holes.

I started late one afternoon thinking I would only play the back 8. I was paired up with a complete stranger and was playing well on that back 8. I got to #16. It was about 125 yards and the pin was back right on the green.

I choked up on a 9 iron and it landed center of the green and rolled about 10 feet into the hole.

My score was so good on the back 8 that I decided to play the front 10 as well. I don't remember my overall score but it wasn't that great. The front 10 got me. lol

About 45 minutes from Omaha Beach is the
Caen Memorial Museum.

It is certainly worth the trip.

I think I can get in a parking deck for about $45. It is 1/2 mile away.

That might be the best option other than leaving my car in a neighborhood and walking a long distance.

Thinking of going to the Tulane vs Army game.

Any hints on parking?

It does appear that Ole Miss played in Tuscaloosa back to back in 2012 and 2013.

Alabama played LSU in Baton Rouge back to back in 1991 and 1992.

Alabama won both, so it didn't really factor into anything.

How many kids are killed in car accidents each year?


I'm not sure if it is broken down by age, but roughly 40,000 are killed in car accidents each year.

Edit. I found it.
1,000 to 1,200 children under the age of 15 die each year in car accidents.



1,500 people are killed each year by knives.

Over 300 children drown in pools each year.
That number is shockingly high.

Part of it is spam calls. If I don't know the number, I am not answering it.

For a house that size, I would think that the RT-AX82U would be good enough.

For a mesh system, there are several good options.

check out these ratings.

Eero and Deco seems to be good.

Caldwell was struck by lightning while playing for the Cleveland Indians against the Philadelphia Athletics in 1919; despite being knocked unconscious, he refused to leave the game, having pitched 8+2/3 innings, and went on to record the final out for the win.

For the six starts Caldwell made that year with Cleveland, he went 5–1 with a 1.71 earned run average. This included the game where he was struck by lightning and a no-hitter against his former longtime teammates, the New York Yankees, on September 10.

The incredible story of Ray Caldwell

The PGA championship was moved to May so the PGA playoffs could be in August and end before the NFL season starts. It's all about TV ratings.

I like the current format of a big event each month for 5 months.

March The Players Championship.
April The Masters
May The PGA Championship
June The US Open
July The British Open

It just works.
