I like Savannah, but I really haven't seen any miniature golf courses with dinosaurs or pirate ships.

I'm still a Myrtle Beach kinda guy.

Kinda in my backyard...enjoy the city, but don't venture out in the the rural areas... And by that I mean anywhere where there isn't street lights... Yeah, we're in a massive beachfront place, in a smallish but nice little condo, 4th floor but the elevator works. There are six huge buildings, many ...

There you can see the bag on the lower left, filled with sand. You might even be able to see the string that goes from the bag to the top center of the sail. Makes a nice triangle for a base.

Hay, where'd ol' Wifehorn go?

This is why my preferred gender pronouns are who? and huh?

Very cool, V.

Not a lot to say except I support the protesters and I deplore the actions of USC, where I attended law school.

How long are the poles that stick into the sand? I could see these easily flying away. That's what the bag is for. The bag it comes with is permanently attached to the middle of the sail. When you get both ends of the pole pushed down in the sand, you turn the bag inside out, fill it with sand (ple...

Yeah, you just have to keep it 90° to the wind. If'n the wind shifts, you gotta shift the umbrella. Which takes about 2 seconds. Very easy. If there's no wind ... I don't think we have ever been to the beach with no wind. On the ocean, there's always wind. That would present a problem, though.

Enjoy Savannah! We love it there :lovestruck: I am enjoying it, even though it's not quite warm enough for me. Last year - not knowing that I would never make it to the beach all summer - I bought a Shibumi umbrella mini (fits two people). Ol' Wifehorn and Numbah One Son took it to the beach withou...

The ocean temp around your location is around 65-67 Fahrenheit. Um... oh boo-hoo. The closest large body to me (Lake Michigan) is 47. The air temp is 51 but I'm told it will go up this weekend, and then down. No, I done told you already - I'm a tropical plant. I need heat, and light. If I spent 10 ...

Savannah was founded in 1733 by James Oglethorpe and 120 of his homies. We saw all 22 squares yesterday. Ol' Wifehorn always wanted to tour the city. There's a ton of history in those almost 300 years. We went in a gorgeous Catholic basilica. Not quite as big as Duke Chapel, but still very impressiv...

The water is too damn cold, with surf 8 inches high. No swimming, no boogie boarding, and so today we shall visit Lincoln's 1864 Christmas present from General Sherman.

I remember that pool, my boys swam in it.

So we're going to the actual beach for sun, sand, and surf, but we're not joining ol' Wifehorn's friends until dinnertime, because neither of the ladies want to be seen by the other one wearing a bathing suit. Such is the silliness of the North American Earthlings in their native environment. Y'all ...

What with all my surgeries and other hospitalizations last year, it turned out to be the first year since 1976 that I didn't get to swim in the ocean even once (that summer of '76 I spent at Cornell University, and did a lot of swimming in abandoned rock quarries, but not any ocean swimming). This s...

Merchan is gonna find that he violated the gag order, but what will he do about it?

Merchan, sharply: "Mr. Blanche, you are losing all credibility."

Oh, ouchy. That's a terrible thing for a judge to say about a lawyer in court. That means "I don't believe a word you're saying." Might as well call him a liar.

Darn it.

Happy Earth Day, peeps. The five most abundant elements in the crust of the planet are oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, and calcium. In seawater, the top 5 are hydrogen, oxygen, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium.

Yeah, but the worst thing about these idiots is that they were so monomaniacal about their stupid beliefs that it seriously warped them. They ended up deciding that hundreds and hundreds of judges, including the Supremes, were all corrupt and evil. They decided that both houses of Congress and all 5...

You should tell her that she's paying you. Her tax dollars at work. :mrgreen: Sharon and Charles are still angry at me for rubbing their noses in the dirt, so I can't even get a comment through moderation. I haven't tried for years, I mean, I have other things to do. Charles kept demanding I write m...

Tomorrow is the day we learn more about this bond. :waiting: I suspect Trump’s attorneys will not have an expert in NY bond practice, so Ms. James might have the only expert in the field. Trump’s lawyers will doubtless bring on some functionary of the trust company to tell the judge how solid the bo...

Oh, that's wonderful news. I'm so glad.

At the height of the open enrollment period, ol' Wifehorn and I generate dozens of printed pages every day, which go into our permanent client files. We're not paperless, but we can document everything that ever happened on a client's insurance. We desperately need an ink tank printer that doesn't b...
