I had a ton of fun there last month when nothing at all was happening.  I was in no way in shape for 3 10-mile hikes at altitude and a 40 mile bike ride but it was still great. Barely drove and never had a problem. 

I hadn’t actually heard of this idea but it came to my mind because I take off my shoes to drive. I’ll have to start doing this. 

He says that as if soccer isn’t also examining its own approach to head injuries.  Articles about Loris Karius’s concussion and subsequent poor performance (okay, he wasn’t amazing before then either) in the Champions League final were published in nearly every country in the world.  In fact Karius’s team physicians…

They have a goodbye scene late in the film where Holdo stays with the cruiser during the evacuation.

The legal difference is beyond me, but it’s important enough to somebody that it’s in legislation.  It’s here if you can make heads or tails of it: https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2014/03/f14/FR-1703-Dec4.pdf

You’ve never stumbled upon the Kerning Police?

Shared risk and shared interest. So far the program has made more money than it has lost, in spite of Solyndra. 

I have to correct you on that. Sure this guy is the choice of the rednecks but Knox County is dominated by the West Knox/Turkey Creek suburbanites. 

If we played any of those games without serious defensive lapses I would feel better. All of these goals have been gorgeous, though. 

One quibble: the government doesn’t provide loans to build power plants.  The $5 billion number being discussed was for a loan guarantee through the SEIA loan guarantee program: https://www.seia.org/initiatives/loan-guarantee-program

Should have loaned them Saint Zusi so they could return the favor: https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2013/10/17/saint-graham-zusi-presented-gifts-fans-radio-station-sending-mexico-world-cup

It’s amusing to me because Svalbard exists as a settlement because of coal mining and whaling.  Environmental tourism is an attempt to move away from the extraction industries that are the core of its economy.

Now do Germany.  

I understand real complaints about some choices that come down to direction. Complaints about how weird Leia’s floating looked like or the structure of the casino scene. That casino scene isn’t a triumph, and it’s supposed to give us an idea of why the Resistance failed and allowed the New Order to become the new…

I was going to say this sounds like a song from 20 years ago, but then I realized it really is from 2001.  

An average American wouldn’t know an American League team from a National League team. 

I just wrote it off with suspension of disbelief.  People would feel weird if they suddenly saw X wings and TIE fighters using weightless gravity and soundless explosions.  Plus they’ve had how many people survive explosions that are strong enough to knock them back.  If the shockwave is moving that much air, it’s…

The average American couldn’t name an AL West team if asked. 

I think he was more of a target for Bourdain because of what he represented as a TV presenter more than for his food preferences. Guy gets caught up in the whole Food Network marketing blitz and the show doesn’t usually do much to break out of its presentation formula, so there’s a big misssd opportunity for doing…

I’m still waiting for Schenectady. It’s clearly overlooked.
