Compared to most metro hubs, not really, unfortunately. Especially when you have real progressive thinkers like Cobb County voting down their own MARTA line so that "people from downtown Atlanta don't take the train up here to commit crime". I'm paraphrasing, but the message wasn't any more encoded than that. And they also said of the new Braves stadium, "Any transportation solution must not include public transit from the city". That's almost verbatim. Sigh. Sorry. I fully admit to being a stereotypical triggered Atlantan on this issue, and I don't even live there anymore. Just a microcosm of unhealthy attitudes all over the place. Anyway, yes, it's great to ride the train to events downtown. Well that just sucks. My only exposure to public transit is the Metro in DC. It was freaking awesome...except when I had a few beers at Chruchkey and couldn’t find my way back into the subway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUDub 11,131 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Sadie and I are in Memphis for a tournament. Opened with 3-1 and 3-0 wins. Already guaranteed the final tomorrow. Captain Sadie! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexava 6,973 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Just noticed after posting this. At 13 he's doing good with basic safety. But that muzzle is too close to the noggin. We gotta work on not 20 gauging our ear off. Edited December 2, 2018 by alexava 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexava 6,973 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Got invited on a trip to Arkansas during Thanksgiving. Alex is now hooked. It was slow out there but still much better than any north Alabama hunt he's ever been on. Gotta mount his first greenhead.

Mental note....Memphis has some hills..... It was hot and humid. I'm almost embarrassed to say that since I ran all summer in the terrible heat. However, the weather the past month has made me soft. The race was FANTASTIC! I have never run a race this big. 26,000 runners total from 5k to Full. Course support was phenomenal! I'll do this every year if I can! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ever ran one big race- the Mercedes in Bham (just the half!). I was blown away by the spectacle of it all. Such a positive community, you runners. Hope you had some BBQ after. And beer.

Another mental note...bbq doesn't make the best pre-race fuel...but it is delicious! And, yes. Runners are a positive(oftentimes disgustingly so) group as a whole! I picked up some Dragon's Milk BBA. It was good. Seemed a bit thin for an imperial. I'll post a review at the appropriate place. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon's Milk to me is the SN Pale Ale of BBA imperial stouts, lol. Like, you can find it even on only-merely-good beer lists. And it will absolutely do in a pinch. Oh, wait... "appropriate place"... ahem, yes, sorry. To the Beer Cave! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
