Not really a Roll Tide exactly but the wife and I went to London in 2015 and the evening of the SEC championship game I met a Florida fan in the hotel lobby so we decided to find a pub that had the game on. Cab driver drove us to a pub on the west end and when we walked in about 730 pm London time it was wall to wall SEC fans of all the teams in there to watch the game. Pretty cool

Don’t like Chelsea boots but I do own two pairs of boots I wear a lot with my jeans; a pair of Martin Dingman suede chukkas and a pair of Lucchese Elephant boots

re: What were you doing in 1998?

Posted by artompkins on 10/15/26 at 2:26 am to Simple Solution

Spent most of 1998 deployed with 11th MEU, most notably to Eritrea and other parts of Africa and the Middle East. Busy year.

A&M has to quit overpaying their farm equipment

re: Bama will move up in the polls

Posted by artompkins on 10/11/26 at 9:33 am to hogcard1964

My guess is Bama will be 7 in the AP but top 5 in the first CFP poll when it’s released if they don’t lose again before then which they shouldn’t. These AP voters have been for more prone to over reacting this year though; case in point, Florida.

Had to run over to my office at International Paper in Cantonment to pick up my mobile hotspot in case power didn’t come back on. Lots of wide spread tree, power line and structural damage, especially in the Mobile Hwy area of Beulah. Possible tornados and very reminiscent of Ivan.

Apparently my street is the only one in Robertsdale without power lol.

Just lost power on my street in Robertsdale. Time for bed lol

We have excellent utilities in Robertsdale and rarely lose power although I expect we might at some point. Usually if we are out it’s a tree on a power line or a transmission line outside of our area somewhere
