Gonna be sad watching LeBron's decline. Only a few more years of that^ left. :(

When did the CBS NBA Twitter account start editing their pics to make them look like the lighting in late 90's Italian porn? Have noticed several like that.
 
- Chacos if you're a stud.

- Was drinking Old Fashioneds and local crafties. I don't mind a red, particularly a spicy red like a Syrah, but I'll go beer and bourbon over it every time. Plus, as a Kentuckian, I feel its my duty to rep bourbon on the road.

- But yeah, that restaurant (Waterbar) was amazing. Right below the Bay Bridge, down from the Port of SF. Went filet, but the king crab and king salmon both looked good, too.

Just a great day all around. The ceremony was at the SF City Building which is gorgeous. Really happy for her brother and his partner. Great guys. Probably my favorite day here so far.

- Hit Berkeley for a meal and ol' Marcus Pee would definitely fit in well there.

- What grabs you most about the Bay area:

1. The topography and views. They're everywhere. Beautiful cliffs and ocean views. Mountains. The city itself. I haven't been to Seattle or Denver but I have a hard time believing there's a prettier city in the country.

2. The diversity. You hear 5 different languages a day. All kinds of different people.

3. Vibrant. Busy place and everyone is on the go at all times it seems. Constant traffic. Crowded street cars. People everywhere.

4. But also a very friendly and courteous city. People are nice. Even with all the traffic, you don't see too many dickheads. Kinda surprising.

5. The weather. Tuesday in Sonoma/Napa felt like June. Yesterday during the day in the city was September. By night, it was late October. Would take some getting used to, but I love it. Don't think the summerheads would, tho.

- Muir Woods today for my last hurrah.
 
All that said, while I think the Bay area is a better place to visit and San Francisco is the far superior city overall, if I was moving to California, I'd prefer San Diego. More chill. jmo

YTD O/U

Cards: 37-21
Reds: 35-19

o_O -- those are pretty much the only two teams I bet, and usually the over, but ABH's buddy's strategy of betting the Reds over every game is looking pretty good thus far. 65% is insane for gambol.

Of course, the Cards actually hit for their overs, while the Reds just get ragdolled. Whatever works to hit the #, I guess.
 
Who does Bob insure with? Geico? The general?

I have USAA for pretty much everything, but they don't do boats. The one I got is not a big name. Friend told me about them.

Geico have a lot of issues?

Progressive has been praised by many fellow boaters, but it was like 3-4 times what my current rate is...live and learn.
 
- Anyone have any recs on where to stay in San Diego? There's a ton of hotels to choose from but I don't know anything about the town. La Jolla area looks fun but some of the hotels look like 60's beach motels. Found the Paradise Point Resort/Spa to be more of a resort type place that the lass likes and doesn't look to be that far from La Jolla or downtown.

I've stayed there twice. It's definitely more of a resort, and all Bungalows. If you can upgrade to a room on the Beach, it's pretty awesome. Fire pits out on the beach at night. Couple of good restaurants on site. Lots of families, at least 3 pools. Good gym. Watersports (noMattsCatts). If you have a car, you can drive to everything pretty easily, but can't walk to anything, because it's off on its own Peninsula between downtown and Pacific Beach area. Has a marina, so you can take the ferry over to Seaworld (for shame!) or to Pacific Beach.

I've also heard staying on Coronado is great, but never done it. La Jolla seemed like fairly sleepy almost retirement community to me, didn't really get the fuss. But I may have been doing La Jolla wrong. Downtown is awesome as well as far as nightlife, restaurants, stayed down there too. I'd think you would hate staying on Pacific Beach, kinda grungy/hipstery.
 
Flip flops are awesome, and I wear them year round when possible.

Work annoyance: people who refuse to dress casual. There are some dweebs who just will not stoop below a pair of slacks and a perfectly pressed button down. And that's pushing it to get that down and dirty. F that.

St Pete Beach. No hurricanes here. 90 and sunny. GFY, Chase.

Mac Jones will be a great qb, if for no other reason than having a great athlete name. Very strong.

Last Friday night I went to Cynthiana to watch my niece and nephew play softball/tee ball. I didn't check in on Facebook at any point. I didn't post any pictures to Facebook and I was not tagged in anyone's pictures or status. I did run into a friend I had not seen in several years, because he had a kid on my nephew's tee ball team. He's also my Facebook friend, although I never see any updates from him in my timeline. Until the next day. Suddenly I saw a post with him in it in my timeline. I hadn't searched him. I hadn't been to his page. We just happened to have our phones in the same location the night before. The same thing happened again today. I had lunch with someone I hadn't seen in almost a year Wednesday, with whom I have very few friends in common, and never interact with on Facebook. Suddenly his status appeared in my timeline today for the first time in forever. Really f'n creepy. Facebook is apparently tracking users and keeping record of who you are potentially hanging out with based upon the locations of your phone.

Or, you just didn't notice their previous posts because you hadn't seen them in so long. That's about 10x more likely. But, FB absolutely has the ability to surface stuff based on proximity. You'd have to have your FB app open and location enabled of course. FB's mission is to show you content it thinks you'll care about, and it probably thinks you are more likely to want to see the posts of someone you hang out with. Creepy? Maybe, but you can turn the location stuff off.
 
I don't really give a shit about Louisville baseball, or college baseball at all. If Louisville fans want to pump their chest about it, fine by me. It just doesn't register for me. Marcus talk shit about how good your quick recall team is.

Football matters. Basketball matters. Everything else is as meaningless as an intramural game.

HAHA! You know that Syrah is spicy. Chad from 2 years ago would hate you for that. The transition to wine guy has commenced.

Been to Waterbar - it is, in fact, ridiculous. Even better if you actually order seafood.

Exactly. They own us is FB, we own them in BB. Could not possibly give less f*cks about any other sport. That's not sour grapes, truth. Same for 99% of the fans out there.

@CoolCat45 - not sure which phone you have but for android you have to go to application manager, find facebook in the list, and the click permissions and turn off location there. Can't do it through the app alone.

I had already done that. Maybe those people looked me up on Facebook and that's why they suddenly reappeared.
 
Louisville wearing "Ali" patches on their baseball uniforms, like he was heavily involved with their program, is about as rich as it gets.

Chase- what the hell is wrong with you? They win this baseball tournament (newsflash- they will) and all that carries over into their inflated opinion of their entire athletic department. Which is feeding us our own ass right now by they way. You cheer/pray for them to lose in everything. This isnt a new development.
 
"Ali, who didn't attend UofL and never ever attended a game or spoke to any members of the baseball team- but his passing has pushed this team to new levels on the field. They've dedicated the season to him. The Greatest now watches from above, looking down on one of the greatest college baseball programs in the country"
 
73 at Heritage Hill on the ETour, Fields? I see you.

What happened? :grimace:

Played my last 4 in 3 over. Missed par putts inside 8 feet on three straight holes. Finished like a chump.

Guy that beat me also beat me in the semis of our match-play invitational at Winchester the weekend before. Nice dude, but still...:mad:

Damn. Love that course, and always play it well. You got any more planned?

Heading down to Evansville Saturday, Oak Meadow (part of the WKY/IN tour), our college home course at UE. Hate(d) it with a passion, and my last memory there is dog cussing my coach & telling him audi5, and we never spoke again (unless you count the scathing letter that he wrote my mom) -- bad memories, looking for some closure.

Plus, Stromboli.

The Facebook spying is real. Not sure if it accesses my emails or just picks up on the people I'm around but it will give me suggestions for people I may know that I've just met or emailed with for work. Creepiest was when it suggested liking some page after I had just talked about it verbally with my wife. Damn thing is creepy af.

Thinking about going to watch West Jessamine defend their state title tonight at Whitaker Bank Shot Ballpark. Hoping to catch Llama and Booker as I'm sure they'll be there to root on Woodford County.

I think I got all of my Louisville business out of the way today. Can't even imagine what a cluster that city will be like tomorrow. Place is basically a Dothraki street party on a normal day. Good luck everybody.

Don't misunderstand me. I hope they lose in spectacular fashion. But I don't have enough interest in it to actually watch it. And I automatically become deaf anytime they bring it up. It's like if your kid was talking shit to you because she won ring around the rosy at kindergarten yesterday. It's cute. Has no other effect on me whatsoever

Surprising, actually...can't really see you doing something like this^.

Was the first time I've played that course, and played on that tour, and really enjoyed both. Couldn't believe Bullitt County has a public course that nice. Good design, and it was in pretty good shape, but the greens were slow. I signed up for their event at U-Club in a couple weeks, but think that's the only other one I can play this summer. Will probably do more next season.
