I have driven to many states, probably 30 to 35 states, but someday i want to do one big cross country trip. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

And the Burpee catalogue-A treasure to read to lift the spirits these cold, snowy winter days. There used to be a local burpee store off one of their warehouse but it closed several years ago. No idea why, they were always busy spring thru summer. Yes, I always love when the new catalog comes out and thinking about spring. Link to post Share on other sites

Some said it's not recommended after the Pfizer vaccines, something along the lines of "lessening the efficacy/effectiveness [pick one...] of the vaccine". We had our 2nd Pfizer jab 4 hours ago, and my arm is hurting. I was just looking through our medicine chest for an Advil "replacement" ... Advil works great for me. Yeah, Advil is not good. She took it because we don’t have Tylenol in the house. She was apparently miserable, I slept thru it. ;-). 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The second period tonight, I think they were watching the Chiefs and forgot to go on the ice. I think you are right about Mahomes. That just means I won't be wagering. I have a standing rule. Never bet against TB. Every time I have, I have lost money. The Canucks are going to be rough this year. They lost Markstrom and Tanev to free agency because of their cap issues. The back end looks like a Chinese fire drill. Quinn Hughes is going to be another Paul Coffey but somebodies going to have to play defense. That player doesn't own a blue jersey.

bobmacliberty Posted January 25 #6791 Share Posted January 25 I'm still missing 10 states. I'd bet that there are a large number of Americans who never see more than a handful of states, and even a surprising number that never leave their home state. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I'd bet that there are a large number of Americans who never see more than a handful of states, and even a surprising number that never leave their home state. On my car tour a few years ago I pulled into a rural gas station in Alabama for fuel and a snack. I spent 10 minutes with some locals leaning on the wall while eating and talking. It was like being with the guy characters from King if the Hill. Great guys but it left me wondering if they ever left their state, let alone county. Amazing countryside to drive through. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DaniDanielle Posted January 25 #6795 Share Posted January 25 I have been to about 40. When my brother was in the Air Force our summer vacation was traveling to wherever he was stationed. My dad loved to drive. I have such great memories of riding shotgun with him through the night. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
