This thread is clearly a sign of people with too much time on thier hands- I'm golfing, then fishing, then grilling today, maybe post in moderation late tonight while watching sports..With the exception of a few people (and you know who you are) sometimes I think i'm the only truly well rounded person here.

But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
