But Trump has me pissed off. We have the biggest game of the year going down in Tuscaloosa Bama vs. LSU and Trump has invited himself. The game itself is distraction enough now its a mega distraction. I can't imagine what it is going to take to search 100K plus folks getting into the stadium. The road closures from the airport to the stadium and back (Tuscaloosa is not all that big). Said another way his visit is going to be a royal pain in the ass.
Yeah, I've attended events where the president was there too. It can a PITA, but it can also be interesting.
I hope the game goes your way and that you have a good time there.

Many thanks, college football is my thing.
Since LSU will win, I see no need to go to the game. Better view from my recliner.
Why does anyone have to drive to a stadium to see some baseball game?...They televise these things so people can see them without having to leave home...I can think of millions of better ways to waste my time anyway...:zzz:...Ben
ah ha corndog be confident huh.................:evilgrin:Quote:

My wife and I don't gamble - but we sure do enjoy all the things built by those who do gamble. The tide rises us all.

Well let's hope the tide rises this weekend as in the Crimson Tide.:smilie:Quote:

If I live where you and Peabo lives I would probably have to have a sit down with myself. I don't know if I would ever get tired of indulging myself in Las Vegas it's such a wonderful place greatest entertainment in the country greatest food in the country and just lots of fun.Quote:

Roads blocked off everywhere trash up and down the street, on game day there was never any plans except to avoid going out of the house, tow truck drivers loved it though.Quote:
