Seconding the sunscreen thing. If you have any northern European blood, the sun will murder you. Seriously, it is poison and will peel the flesh off your bones. Wear hats and sunscreen all the time - yes even in the winter.

The airport is approximately 145 miles east of the city. You need take I-70 to get to the city. Which is convenient because you can stay on it, blow through Denver, and head uphill to the part of Colorado you actually want to see.

The current superintendent has been involved with Army football nearly his entire career. This is his thing - some argue that his focus on football is bad for the institution. It’s going nowhere as long as Caslen is there.

The military is all about the short term. Most of the effects these officers are going to have from playing football will come after their careers are over. Something for the VA to handle.

DISAGREE.

It matters.

$2-3K. Enough so I don’t need to move cash around if I have to get new brakes on the minivan or something.

Is this not what guys from Alabama look like?

Every paper that passes through this man’s hands must be laminated or it will disintegrate in his slimy coating.

Olympic mascots were always terrible.

Go back to volunteering. You can enjoy that until your retirement account is heavy enough to support doing more of that. You could possibly attract the zoo directors’ attention and land a paid position. Probably not a highly paid one, but what you do with this hypothetical offer is up to you I guess. At the end of…

EXPERIENCES ARE MORE MEANINGFUL GIFTS - Me as I drive our Honda Odyssey through the car wash again.

Lizard chompin will do in a pinch if the other boys in the boxcar get the jump on the possums. You can season it with Gold Bond, Mountain Dew, or anything you’ve got in your bindle. But you gotta be quick. Not because the lizards might get away, but because Cannonball Stan. Cannonball Stan gets his mitts on your…

The problem with Bitcoin is that there is no central bank to protect currency holders from the downside, which will come sooner or later - bubble or not. Despite academic arguments against the need for central banking, it really does provide a valuable service when the deflation risk rises.

The saddest part of this is that the average Russian on the street thinks that this is a conspiracy to keep Russian athletes out of the competition. They assume that because their government is engaging in this, all governments must be as well. You can imagine the “what about...” going on there right now.

Email of the week guy must have a huge bum.

What is it with old dudes who take pride in eating the crap that you ought to throw away?
