    The food was awesome. Funny thing was my first meal there was KFC at midnight. After traveling for a day we said we were hungry and that is what they picked up, lol. 

    Had 4 braiis. Grilled fish, steak, lamb, etc was all great. Had some Biltong, springbok carpoccio, poikie and some other stuff. Didn't try the bobotie. The fish and especially the calamari were really good. The cool thing is food is really cheap there due to the strength of the $. Had Chateaubriand (which was excellent!) for like $20. 

    Housing is also cheap due to so many people leaving the country. If it wasn't half way around the world and had reliable utilities and medical care, it would be a great place to retire. 

    Sounds awesome! Remember going to KFC in Russia and they had beer on tap!

    The wineries were awesome. Stopped at 6 wineries. Did 4 tastings. Brought home 4 bottles. Groot Constantia is the oldest in the country dating back to the 1600s. Napoleon drank their wine! Some of these wineries were incredible. Never been to Napa Valley but might have to check it out for a comparison now.

    So what about the food? Did you have any Bildong on your hikes? How about BOBOTIE or bunny chow? When I’ve traveled before I always wanted to have some of the local cuisine. Well except for England maybe?🤔

    I'd love a vacation to Mobile. Drinking beer while playing in the water sounds fun. I'd also recommend waders if you are going to be in the water awhile. Never been there. Unfortunately I don't think that trip will be in the cards for awhile. 

    I’d add down south if you’re spending much time in the water you might want someone riding shotgun looking out for alligators!😂

    I had a pissed off customer company VP from Germany call bitching and moaning today because I didn’t give him his demanded report of how to fix their problem, by today (he initially demanded by “Friday”). 
    he wasn’t amused when I said, … “ you didn’t say which Friday”. 
     

    fyi, they are experiencing the EXACT issues I told them they would, when they decided to use our standard equipment “off label” in a totally stooopid custom designed automation process. I told them not to eff around… now they are in the find out phase. 
    I’ll help them out… Friday. 

    ‘The Ladder of Knowledge’ 

    Guy I used to work with and I had a couple of code phrases that were less than complimentary and yet we could use them with the person in question. One was they were climbing the ladder of knowledge. Which in our definition was the further up someone climbed the less they knew about what was happening on the floor! The other was ‘that was heads up!’ Which in our definition meant they had their head up where the sun don’t shine!

    May be an image of 1 person and text that says 'She's single... She lives right across the street. I can see her place from my patio. I watched as she got home from work this evening. was surprised when she walked across the street, up my driveway and knocked on the door. rushed to open it, she looks at me and said, "I just got home, and I have this strong urge to have a good time, dance, get drunk, and make love tonight! Are you doing anything tonight?" quickly replied, "Nope, I'm free!" She said, "Great! ....Could you watch my dog?? Being a senior citizen really sucks!'

    True story, just yesterday I’m in the shower and hear a knock on the door. Wrapped a towel around my waist and answered the door. Standing in front of me was a young gorgeous girl a new neighbor at the apartment. She asked if I had a key to the laundry room, she had locked herself out? Yeah it sucks to be old!

    I considered them one after they put up 4.  Sure, it might be an "old money" vs "new money" blue blood, but if you're ahead of Villanova and on par with Kansas.....you're an elite program. 

    So are they going to replace Izzo in The Champions Classic Tournament?
