I tuned in and saw an Ole Miss girl elbow a LV and the both got a tech

That was, how shall I say?

Whoa! Tell us about India, my man.

It was incredible. If you ever go, I highly recommend finding someone you know and trust who is a native to lead you around the area you visit.

I went to Delhi, Chennai, and a number of areas within a few hours of Chennai and was fortunate enough to have friends in both communities. From Chennai we drove a few hours inland spent some time exploring areas there. One day I want to go back and head to northeast India - where it clusters with Nepal, Bhutan, and Bangladesh. I have another friend up there, but couldn’t make that work this time.

From my perspective, there was serious poverty there - especially in the south. But my friend in the north said that the economy had improved a lot in the past two decades, and so there was minimal poverty in and around Delhi. In the south, my friend said that it is not impoverished because there were so many jobs available in that area. There is a big automotive industry presence there.

Traffic in India is its own special experience. I sent a video of it to my daughter, and she said it was like the knight bus in Harry Potter. That’s a very good comparison. It’s complete chaos. You have cars, trucks, scooters (sometimes with 4-5 people on them - including very small children), motorcycles, tuk tuks, bicycles, pedestrians, heavy trucks, buses, cattle-drawn carts, cows, and all sorts of other creatures on the roads. Again, I t’s complete chaos.

At one point, we went to the India Gate and the central political area in Delhi. We had to cross five lanes of traffic to get over to the India Gate, and I was looking for a crosswalk. My friend said OK, let’s go. They won’t hit you. So we just froggered our way across 5 lanes of traffic. I was a little puckered, but we made it fine.

It’s a huge country. I don’t think I understood how big the geography is. And there are people everywhere - so many people. It’s hard to comprehend how long humans have been building a culture there. Was fascinating to see so many historic sites - Hindu temples, Mughal forts built from the remnants of torn down Hindu temples, etc.

It was a great trip - but the travel there and back is brutal.

 

[franklinpence]

I meant to add - the country would really benefit from @engineerVOL @Brillovol and any of you other folks who are involved in engineering or public works.

The infrastructure was so bad and bottled water is a must. And I noticed early in my visit to Delhi that folks would pour the water into their mouths instead of putting their mouths on the spout of the bottle. I assumed for cleanliness/safety concerns - I’m not sure. But whatever the purpose, I mimicked the behavior the rest of the week.

I’m in search for someone to assist with milking cows on my dairy farm. Must work well with udders.

 

[drvenner]

These are so clean holy smokes

Not a fan

Thoughts?

Shoot it when it’s open or when you must have it. Otherwise, work that paint.

That is fabulous! So happy for you. I want to go!

We had a trip to the north planned this past year but had a situation turn up where we had to postpone. I was looking at pre-arranging local guides and drivers through a Western company. I've driven in some crazy places, but India: no way. We are still planning one day to see Dehli and then fly to Varanasi (with Bodh Gaya), and return by car/train with stops at Khajuraho, Agra, Jaipur, and Udaipur. I'll let you know if it happens.

You are lucky to know people there. I'd love to hear about your favorite places, etc. Was the food great? I love Indian cuisine. I would also like to go to the south one day.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Lol

Was that in doubt? We are the reigning champs after all.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Our Shooting is definitely bi polar, but turnovers, lazy rebounding and 3pt defense was what hurt us in the 1st half, I thought our shooting was good today

Yeah not used to seeing us lose the rebounding game.

The only showing up for one half has me on the edge of a worry circle. Hopefully getting it out of our system just in time for march.

Why do we keep worrying about this? We will get a nutkick either way.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Lol

and even its BaF

 

[Orange.]

That's true. I try to avoid all oils period. I'd rather fry in butter if possible.

But now you're about to change your mind.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Shhhh

I could see us taking a 1 seed over Florida or bama if we finish strong and either of them falter, or we beat bama by more than a couple possessions.

Here’s another from the photographer I posted the other day.

 

[Smokey123]

I filmed a meet & greet camp with ZZ, JJJ, and Uros. He's 5'9" might be the only player on the team not "fudging" his height even.

Fudging their height as in most players are shorter or taller than they are?

Any other behaviors you mimicked? Public grass fertilization?
