John Dawson is Excited

[keefe]

I like them both but went with Green more often than not.

When living in Asia we always bought a Ristra from one of those places between Espanola and Valverde. In Jakarta our cook thought we were strange to bring chiles to Indonesia. She didn't understand it wasn't simply peppers.

Funny that the same people who ripped scoopers for following MU recruits now follow MU recruits and post their tweets. Whatever works for you.

Love Mr. D smacking down the YOLO tweet- a true man of God.

I am glad John is excited. If he were not, there would be something wrong. Hell, I was excited when I started college and that was in the VERY unexciting city of Worcester, MA. There are not many places that are more depressing. Welcome to MKE, John, I hope you have a great four years.

Apparently John John is the nickname. Wasn't that JFK Jr.'s nickname? Hope Mr. Dawson isn't a budding aviation hobbyist.

JFK, Jr's fatal flight was a tragic comedy of errors that underscore his arrogance, if not incredible stupidity. Kennedy had fewer than 70 total hours and fewer than 20 in type yet rented a higher performance aircraft than he was rated. He never filed a flight plan, intending to fly in good weather during daytime. Because his wife's sister was delayed in NYC they took off at night, in haze, and increasingly poor weather (he never requested an updated weather briefing...) Rather than fly along the coast he chose a blue water path which is far more hazardous from a SA perspective, even for an experienced aviator. Kennedy was not instrument rated and he set his radios to all the wrong freqs so he could not get in-flight updates nor call for help. Finally, his foot was in a cast which makes pedal control problematic and swimming in the event of a ditching impossible. Kennedy didn't just kill himself; his arrogance killed two innocents.

The Navy was ordered by Clinton to conduct a search for the jetsam, handing taxpayers a multi-million dollar bill for John John's stupidity.

Wow, makes me wonder how many brain cells that guy was missing.  Seems like something out of a dumb and dumber type movie.

That region is stunning in its beauty. A lot of Americans do not realize the oldest continuously inhabited city in North America is Santa Fe. I learned to ski at Taos but we certainly skied Purgatory as often as possible. The climbing in the San Juans is superb.

I thought oldest continuously inhabited city in North America is St. Augustine, FL?

By white folks. Pueblos settled what is now The Plaza in 900 AD. The oldest family-owned restaurant in North America is not Bookbinders in Philadelphia. El Farol in Santa Fe holds that honor. In a city of fabulous food El Farol is one of the best. My wife loved their paella and the jazz and blues afterwards in the bar was excellent.
