Is it possible to become Barbecue'd out? Spent 8 days in NC, Tennessee
Kentucky and Virginia on vacation and ate alot of barbecue and visiting distilleries/brew pubs and cideries. Funny how I'm not tired of bourbon nor beer. I think I'm done eatin' 'cue for the summer. Ready for more crabs...(MD native)

Are there any honorable international sports organizations? Doesn't seem
like it. Too much money involved with sports today. Olympics, FIFA, Cycling, Skating...who am I missing.

I caught myself self editing recently and mostly because I was thinking
about Will's new bannination efforts. You just never know how some folks will take a post when you are trying to be funny. Folks have lost their sense of humor.

"Thighway Man"đļ
I was a thighwayman
Along my girlfriends thighs I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of 25
But I am still alive

Cowbirds threathen many species and are overpopulating forest/cleared
lands. That being said.... cowbirds are fully protected in the United States under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). Because they are a native species, it is federally illegal to harm the birds, capture them, or disturb their nests and eggs without a special permit

Just give them a nerf football and get out of their way. They'll figure it
out.
Also bring several decks of cards, they can play war, slap jack, etc....

FYI, Charlottesville, especially student apartments have a ridiculously
high concentration of cockroaches. Seriously, I spent a number of weekends with female hoos while attending VT and everytime I did, the infestation was off the charts. Yuck...

For those whoâve done the bourbon trail, do you have atop two distilleries

If you are looking for a non-toxic solution, magic eraser works pretty well
I spray vinegar on it let it sit and erase it away. Works wonders.

I'm curious. Are there "don't hike off the path" rules where you hike. I
know in NE, along the Long Trail, above the tree line, the rangers warn hikers not to sally off the hiking paths since the vegetation is subarctic flora due to the elevation.....and could be damaged by hikers

Well then, pick one or two and put resources into them. It beggars the
question of what our athletic goals are. Is it National championships, Conference championships, in what sports, will it expand the VT brand and on and on.....I don't know but I can guess that its really not the Sears cup or whatever they call it today. Its the high profile sports and some success in Olympic sports, but National Championships in any sport doesn't appear to be on our agenda.

And politicos blast long waits for European medical procedure wait times
Health Care in America is a disaster. Too many people making too much money to care about the quality of care that is received.

Well, I had to have mohs surgery near my eye and thought I wanted to be
very selective about who did it. Did my research and got an appointment within 4 weeks at Johns Hopkins, dermotological micro surgeon department chair. A real super star. To be honest, I was shocked it happened so quickly. Two years prior, I had an issue my primary doctor scratched his head about and he called a local dermotologist for me to get me in, since time was of the essence. Nope, tried to give me an appointment 9 months later. So I suspect, its about demand, and how a practice is run and whether or not they work at a teaching hospital.....
So you win some and lose some. I don't see it as a testament on the medical community in general.
