If I were a Falcons fan, I'd be pissed. Thankfully I think my Vikes had a good night.

And the Lakers "won" the right to get swept by the Nuggets for the second consecutive year.

Mmmhmmm.

It is, but in the MUTCD figure the "exit only" panels are much closer to the arrows than they are on that sign.

I was always told that DDI's were for when cross road traffic was heavily turning left to get on the freeway ramps.

New England Patriots select NC QB Drake Maye at #3.

A bummer for the rest of the AFC East.

Falcons selecting Michael Penix Jr at #8 overall is the most surprising QB pick since Daniel Jones.

This draft has definitely made history opening with 14 straight offensive players, not to mention the record-setting 6 QB's in the first 12 picks.

6 QB's gone before the Raiders picked at #13 was definitely not something anyone had mocked and they would have been laughed off the street if they had. There was plenty of talk of Bo Nix falling out of the first round entirely like Will Levis, while hardly anyone considered that he might go as early as #12. Also since there were only 6 potential first round QB's, there was some extra petty motivation for the Broncos to take the last one to stick it to the Raiders. They still got a good player in Brock Bowers, but you can bet they're disappointed all 6 QB's were gone.

I was also surprised that the Falcons selected Penix. I wonder what their rationale is.

Closures happening this weekend. Seems like beams are getting installed for the flyover ramp.

Do away with the dollar bill and a U.S."loonie" will fly. That's the only change I would recommend, having handled British and Euro money in the past. The U.S. twice rolled out dollar coins and they flopped mightily.

I count more than 2 times, unless you are bundling.

Morgan dollar (silver)
Peace Dollar
Eisenhower dollar'
Susan B Anthony dollar
Sacagawea dollar
Presidental series
a few in-betweens, hard to document.

^ Is the "Exit Only" signage necessary? I feel like it adds unnecessary spacing.
