    Bringing a little New Year Cheer to the board?

    Stopped at Loves just north of laurel on way home. It was packed and I couldn?t figure out why. Went inside and it was full of KlanSharts all dressed in sissy blue and red. Lots of long faces and sad sacks of shit. Could tell that most of the college aged kids had spent the night drinking their sorrows away.

    Pretty pathetic looking bunch today. Kinda made me laugh and brightened my day.

    I remember in either 92 or 93 when KY blew it in New Orleans, Driving to Drill in Laurel and 59 was packed with KY cars heading home. They were pissed.

    Ha. Laurel is usually a good spot to stop. About half way and usually cheapest gas.

    One of these days I?m gonna stop in downtown and walk around. That DIY show made me want to go check out the old downtown area.

    There's some decent dining in downtown Laurel. They have events that the wife and daughters-in-law enjoy. Shopping and wine, not my speed.

    Yeah we do have some of the cheapest gas in the country here(thankfully). They've really revitalized downtown. It was absolutely falling apart 15 years ago, absolutely horrible. The transformation has been miraculous! Some really good restaurants and shop now. Glad to see it happen. Only thing is Ben and Erin both big om people lol

    Holler if you get here I'll buy you lunch.

    Ha thanks for the offer. I?ll buy you a couple rounds if you drink. Yea the only downside is them being OM grads.

    But what they are doing is admirable. Even when someone you have disdain for does something admirable, I have to give them credit.

    The wife and I have actually talked about spending a weekend there and checking everything out. Possibly Air BNB it somewhere downtown. No hotels if we don?t have to. I love old train areas and that downtown looks like a great place to walk around or ride bikes.

    And here?s a side tip. Every city along the Collins or Colinial Pipelines have the cheapest gas. Terminals around Hattiesburg, Laurel and Meridian by airport in Mississippi. The trucks fill up at the terminals. Closest stations get cheapest gas. When you travel look where the pipelines go and where terminals are. It may save you a little bit.

    Another side tip. Currently the Collins pipeline has a leak on their diesel line. Diesel prices may increase in their areas. Last I heard was they had located leak Wednesday and dug down to expose it. No info on when it?ll be repaired and diesel flowing again.

    This comment made me think. I bet there are a ton of times posters here are within 500 feet or less of each other and do not know it. It has to happen at any sport home game. Just an interesting thought, to think whether or not someone in person resembles who they are perceived to be by their posts.

    I?d say that the vast majority would not be in person what perceived by posts. You can garner some generalizations from posts because words have no human interaction behind them. Or human visualization . I often think about that and try to picture posters and know I?m probably way the hell off.
