Shooting is on today. I've been having to use the live stream which will ask for your cable provider after a while. I still am a prisoner to midcontinent so I peeked into women's beach volleyball yesterday. Not bad.

Here's the link to the shooting live stream. I believe it starts at 10:30

And still no wrestling on. Glad I get to watch friggen ping pong. F U NBC.

Greco starts Sunday the 14th. Freestyle starts on the 19th. With live streaming you can watch everything. You can replay the session too, at least you can in boxing anyway.

Are you comparing the USA to Brazil?

I will guaran-damn-tee you that the less nice places of Atlanta are more seedy and dangerous than the better neighborhoods of Rio even though I haven't been to Rio (still pissed I missed out on a Rio trip this past winter).

There are places in Atlanta that don't exactly give a North Dakotan the warm and fuzzies even during daylight hours.

was this a racially charged statement allen, doesnt seem very PC to me...:;::;:exactly

 

[Allen]

Hah, perhaps it unintentionally is racial. All I know is that good people with guns pointed out which streets I wanted to avoid during daylight hours.

Me being the immortal Marine that I know myself to be, still ventured that way to visit a pharmacy for a little hangover relief. It wasn't even a full city block and I drew a pretty fair number of watchful eyes and subtle comments from a few fellas sitting on some steps.

I left area by the same street, but different side to avoid chatting with some fellas that changed sides of the street as I went into the store. I did the rest of my shopping closer elsewhere the rest of the week.

On the plus side, the Atlanta Hooters restaurant is not only aesthetically pleasing, but in a better lit part of town.

when we had our little stay at childrens hospital in the cities the social worker and hospital staff was so nice to inform my wife and i that we prolly shouldnt leave the hospital campus ourselves after dark.....my original thought was yep great place to take a kid..haha it actually was but as i woke up the next morning and say the streets of southern downtown Minneapolis i had no interest in leaving.

Michael Phelps deserves his own thread.

 

[lunkerslayer]

He deserves to be his own country with four Gold Medals, As of today he would be number 10 on the list amazing pot smoker
