Duke Energy, Ally, and a couple others are all working from home. I know a medical group who moved their drs to other locations

BOA had made arrangements to move a bunch of their employees to space in Ballantyne. Then Hillary/Bill decided to stay in Ballantyne and we have road closures as well.

Like a dumbass I decided to go downtown for my normal lunchtime run. After viewing the street closing map, I decided to take the train. It wasn't that bad except finding parking was pretty much impossible (parked illegally at the Scalybark station). Train was packed with media, volunteers, etc. Went for my run, cops and helicopters everywhere. Taking the train back was not bad, and there was some exceptionally hot ass to view as well.

My "lunch hour" took two hours though. And I fell in front of Amos' Southend. They had these screens set up for some private party and they blocked the sidewalk. Jumping over some sandbags, I busted my ass. I will require the services of an attorney.

Michelle Obama and kids.....Hillary/Bill are staying at the Ballantyne Lodge (corner of Ballantyne Commons and Ballantyne Corp Place).

This is the reason that Ballantyne Commons is clsoed between Community House and Johnston Rd....and the reason that Ballantyne Corp is closed from the bridge crossing Johnston down to Ballantyne Commons.

My office is on Ballantyne Corp and I can look out my sindow and see the check point.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
