The longest thread ever

My colleague is going to Vegas this week with his daughter for some national teen girl dance competition. The intersection of those two events should be interesting.

Have him give Jordon our best!

How do you bet on that? Like, where do I find odds and stuff?

I can have his daughter give you the inside scoop on who she thinks is good as long as you give her a share of your winnings.

Don’t even talk to me.

Sorry missfinch! I know how tough the weather could be and regretted my post after I made it.

The cottage we stay in has a view of TI bridge. So fun watching the ships go under. There’s also a book / log that we have with the flags and ship names that tell country of origin, cargo, how much drugs are likely on board, etc.

Has to be super close to where we were. Might find my wallet about 10 ft deep. Decided to water ski and forgot it was in my wallet. Circa ‘84.

Damn.

No apology necessary! I’ve probably made some snarky weather comments in the winter, and I actually just got back to Phoenix from Rhode Island so I’m not suffering that much.

Well breaking news and all that…

Damn.

Promises made. Promises broken.

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

Roses, meh.

That’s actually where the wallet was lost! We had the same view but the other side of the bridge (east)…that house with the large flag to the left in the first photo is ingrained in my memory. I think someone famous owned it - singer of some sort? Thanks for posting that!

We would head to Canada for fireworks and Dad got good beer, which was hard to find in the US back then.

Awesome pic. Are you on Wellesley Island or the other side - my memory is rusty. I just remember crossing the bridge and going left to TI Park. The second time we went was for a wedding and we stayed at a somewhat dated hotel nearby but not in TI Park.

Dog - check
Ship - check
Beverage - check

Looks like a winner to me!

looks like a black lab, which would merit five stars.

Well, one thing is totally obliterated.

Hah. That’s great! We’re on the south side of the river to the west of the bridge. My wife doesn’t recollect a famous person. Her family friends have owned this place hor 40+ years. She’s asking me if we’d want to take over because the family friends are childless and getting old.

Lab + southern hound. That nub tail.

No. We’re on the south side facing Wessley. My wife was convinced that was Canada growing up. She’s still disappointed it isn’t.

Those super aggressive Canadian hosers might seize it - just you wait!

Hope you are having a great time. A dip in the river during this heat wave should feel incredible.

You’re referring to Bundy as “a dip?”
