Re: Random Politics
So, if I understand this correctly, the TikTok bill going through Congress right now is designed to force them to transfer ownership to an American entity. I understand that the Chinese say that is not going to happen. This issue scares the hell out of me, because if access to TikTok ends up gettin...

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
Went on a tour of the largest handmade chocolate factory in the US a few weeks ago (it's here in Denver) it was ok, their best confections weren't made in-house (the red chile chocolate truffle had my vote.) Is anyone else here a fan of the Zagnut? My favourite candy bar. Though I do like the Reese...

Re: All threads are temporary. This one's about soccer.
I’m going to see a friendly between Chelsea and Wrexham this summer, and I fully expect it will feature mostly youngsters and backups. So, there’s that. That's what I said when Arsenal came to town last year, and I didn't get tickets. My daughter was so pissed at me when they actually played a lot ...

Issue resolved. Kelli sent a nice email asking if there was a reason behind it. He was extremely apologetic saying it was just an oversight and that he loves Asher and having her on the team.
