Quote
Biden is refusing to debate Trump in front of an audience of voters.
His campaign is demanding big guardrails for Biden, including:
- No audience. - No RFK Jr.
- No Trump remarks during Biden's answers.
- Only Biden-friendly outlets & anchors can moderate (from CBS, ABC, CNN or Telemundo).

« Last post by WLJ on Today at 12:48:42 PM »Quinn's Ideas having a look at the trailer and I've only watched part of it but he's having reservations about it looking too much like Villeneuve's Dune despite it occurring 10k years before. Also said he's not a huge fan of the books this may or may not be based on.

The Roundtable / Re: Montana next year? (travel musings)
« Last post by Brad Johnson on Today at 11:31:16 AM »I'm confused on your timeframe. Are you taking three days up, five days in the Kalispell AO, and three days back?
Our usual schedule is to leave early on a Thursday morning and arrive back home the following Friday. How that nine day block pans out is what I'm trying to lay groundwork for. For our Colorado trips we front-load travel with a full 12 hrs driving the first day, a day in the middle changing locations to slightly closer to home, then a leisurely drive back the last day. Including all the side trips and general sightseeing, it's usually around 2500 miles all told. If we do the Montana thing as a a drive, that's 3100 miles just there and back. 50 hours in the saddle, or just over six solid 8-hr days of driving not including side trips and sightseeing. We like driving around and seeing things, but six-plus days doing nothing but driving would be a lot even for us. It also means packing up every morning and unpacking every evening, a pain any way you look at it. Then there's fuel. Figure $600-$700 in gas alone, depending on average fuel economy, though in that respect there's some savings in food as we tend to eat sammiches from the cooler.
Not a big deal for now. Being a full year away, we have plenty of time to ponder and plan. Sure do appreciate all the input!
