There are 8 teams in the pacific and mountain time zones so I’d leave that alone under the assumption they’re going to 4 or 8 team divisions. I’d do Raleigh and Nashville but SLC seems to have a strong bid so I think they’ll get one.


I’ll expand. Portland gets less rain than all MLB cities outside of California, Arizona, and Colorado during the MLB season.

Dry as a bone and by far the largest market. Portland should be #1 for expansion.

False. Portland gets less rain during the MLB season than all teams east of the Mississippi.
Why all the missing seats on one side? Those are typically the best seats. I hope they aren’t finished with the remodel.

Looks fine to me. Washington, my state is correct.

No Microsoft? The SaaS company Concur was originally started in WA, but was bought out by SAP. PACCAR should be on the list as well, for WA.


Microsoft is on the map. You are looking at the wrong state. It was founded in Albuquerque.

Not a bad short trip. When I went a few years back, I visited the Pro Football HOF in Canton in the morning, the waterfall in their joke of a National Park at lunch, Rock and Roll HOF in the afternoon, and an Indians game in the evening.

I never been to a Pro Football HOF induction, but have been to three Baseball HOF inductions. It’s a big deal for fans of the teams, especially if the player being inducted is most notable for playing for their’s. Canton is easier to get to than Cooperstown, so it’s completely legit.

BIG MAD at Brian Cashman for not doing more to upgrade the Yanks by trade deadline, especially mad for not getting a Catcher. How soon is #28?


WFAN’s two Yankee fans are mad? Was listening earlier and the rest of the station doesn’t give a rip about the Bronx Bandwagoners.

It's still a third party, even though they sort of try to help you. It's not hard to hit Avis and Europcar to compare prices, either.


Never book Avis, unless you go through Costco. If National-Alamo-Enterprise beat the Costco, price, which they rarely do and typically it involves a member reward, I can easily can the Costco reservation.

Stay away from third parties, except rental car companies, especially if you dare rent Avis.

And what does Costco do that is so beneficial?


As a nonmember, you can still see their prices:

Costco Travel (click on rental cars and search)

What they do special is :

- allow you to compare prices between car rental companies and vehicle categories

- cancel up to day of reservation with no charge, so you can cancel and rebook if you find a cheaper rate later on

- not charged in advance

- customer service to help if Avis runs out of cars. They got me booked next door at National, at a better price too!

I booked a car with Thrifty last year. One and done. Horrible experience all around


A few years back at Kona airport, I get my car in 5 minutes at Alamo while it took my dad almost an hour and a half at Thrifty. He did save $45 dollars over 8 days vs. mine, but that nonsense isn’t worth it to me.
quote:

Have you learned the lesson to book direct?


I book direct for airlines and hotels, but always go through Costco Travel for rental cars. It saved my arse one night when Avis ran out of cars. I always use Costco and typically book one of the Enterprise family brands (Enterprise, National, Alamo). I avoid just about everyone else like the plague.
Keeneland is a must. The only three Bourbon Trail stops I’ve done in the Lexington area are Woodford Reserve, Castle & Key, and Wild Turkey. I highly recommend the tours at all three. Be sure to book early.

If you make believe the goals count 50 points each you’ll feel even better


After the The Boat’s exchange rate, the problem sometimes is the 0-0, 7-0 games that are common. Sure, some are good and compelling, but the others can just be boring, few shot, dive grass acting sessions.
It’s sitting in the garage at the moment. I almost pulled it out earlier in the week. I am glad I didn’t. Other than the lack of rain, it has been a pleasant summer so far in the coastal Pacific Northwest.

I know the general rule is anything that is attached to the wall stays with the house when it is sold. Does that usually apply to TV wall mounts as well? I don't mind leaving the mounts if that's the expectation. I suppose it could also come down to the buyer's preference. Just wanted to check what the usual practice is -- first time doing this in 18 years.


Unless specified as belonging to seller, best done in the purchase and sale agreement, all attachments are expected to be included.

I’m a staunch federalist. Agreeing on which time we use doesn’t need to be handled 50+ different ways. Especially when this is basically an internet fad.


True. Trains and planes depend on these, hence why they were created in the first place. Before time zones, we used the sun before it caused train wrecks.
Sorry, I must post a reply in Canadian:

Correct. Many people forget how far east South America is to North America.
I really believe Memphis would be a better candidate for 50 Cent to do this than Shreveport due to the zero state income tax, the city willing to work with Trump to lower crime with the national guard, Memphis BBQ, and the music tradition.
