If you ever get the chance to, don't.

Just flew from New York to Manila with a stopover in Beijing and back. What a miserable experience. Just a simple transfer in Beijing requires a Visa, and going through three different security checks. One when you get off the plane (guess they don't want you stealing the little pillows, one after you go through immigration/customs (even for a transfer, you need a visa) and one before you board the next plane. And they had one guy doing the Visa's for about 40 people, and he moved like Tim Conway from the old Carol Burnett show. For you younger folks, that means he moved very very slow. I am all for security, because I don't like the thought of being blown up. But that was ridiculous.

No individual air vents on the planes, and they took out the armrest between the seats. Fortunately my wife was with me and didn't mind to much if I took up to much room. :)

On the brightside, the stewardesses were really hot. And the food was tolerable.

Went to visit my wife's family. And it was the first visit for me. Mostly just visited with family, although we did take a tour of Corregidor, where US and Filipino troops held out for several months against Japanese troops in 1941/42.

Thailand is the hooker capitol. Manila is the internet bride capital. Not that I met mine that way. My wife was working as a tutor for some rich Arab's kid when I was stationed in Bahrain.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      Im not firm on many things football, but this statement or belief or strategy I am 100% for. Full Offseason the goal is to make the playoffs. Week 1, 1000% I want to win. Weeks 2-10,  1000% I want to win. Until the math stats 0.000000000% chance at NO playoffs, I want to win. *Once* there's no chance at the playoffs, I want to 100% lose every game until the end. You are still loser at 2-15 or 5-12, I want to never lose like this again. I want the best value for losing and suffering. Again the only goal is playoffs. Once in the playoffs anything can happen, I want to win the whole dam show. If you happen to lose in the first round, that's perfectly fine and lets work hard this upcoming off-season to get another chance to make them.  This is the ONLY way to play in the NFL. Anyone not understanding this method of strategy, please call your doctor for a visit...

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Purdy's good but at the end of the day you're paying first class money for a business class seat.  It's a big problem with the salary cap.  QBs take most of it whether they are Pat Mahomes or not.

      Purdy saved the 49ers from that three 1st picks for Trey Lance. People forget that. People also forget he should have MVP votes for the 23 season. He's been any where from the 8th(his best/23) to 14th ranked QB, he's legit and guys around top 10 get paid as QBs.....guys in 28th get paid too, he's 4x the QB Trevor Lawrence is and better than BY by miles as well...even without CMC, Samuel(whos a RB playing WE), and half the OL.    *BUT*    You non-believers missed this ultra important mistake that honestly made me reconsider all the praise I gave him. https://www.si.com/nfl/49ers/news/49ers-qb-brock-purdy-throws-blind-40-percent   That's is damming to my case and reset my thinking of his. That's nuclear scary now and I need some time.  too honest for me to overlook.
