Trump vetoes Patriots' Super Bowl win
I wouldn't put it past him... (sorry mods, I won't go any further)

Quote

Since he's buddies with Brady, Belichick and Kraft, it would be more likely that he would veto a Falcons win.

The worst act of Terrorism (domestic or otherwise) prior to Oklahoma City was in Bath, Michigan and involved a car bomb in addition to a school being rigged up for months to explode.  It is actually right down the street from where I went to High School, I'm amazed at how much it really is a forgotten and quite frankly f$@#ed up piece of American history:

This was a stop on one of the Michigan road meets a few years ago.

Why don't we have a thread about the Third Crusade of the Great Goat Overland Rufus the fussy of Alanville?  With all this Goat Wars talk we ought to have more of the back story out there for discussion....just sayin.

Arguably, that lands in #3, after the NY Giants' Brooklyn Dodgers' move to San Francisco Los Angeles (because of West Coast expansion) and Irsay using moving vans to move the Colts (because...moving vans).

I'm on 3 wiki sites where my fantasies come true: Fictional TV stations (I own KNDU 14 Palm Springs with subchannel 41), fictional major league baseball teams (the Buffalo Bisons with a farm team in Sacramento - the Golden Retrievers), and even a fictional country (the Republic of Oklahoma, but the eastern half with territory claims in western Antarctica). Would it be great if I owned or ruled anything?
Get your kicks...on Route 99! Like to turn 66 upside down. The other historic Main street of America.

Clinching parking garages

Does anyone else here "collect" clinched parking garages?  To count as clinched, I need to have driven on every ramp/lane and parked in every space (handicap and motorcycle spaces don't count, though).  I've been mapping my clinches for the last two years or so, and I was just curious to see if anyone else does this too.  I'm considering starting a website for fellow members to map their parking garage clinches, similar to the clinched highway mapping websites that have popped up from time to time.

Concatenating parking garages that cross state lines could get a bit hairy.

I'm thinking about delta junctions wherein the non-terminating road is a divided highway.

Tried Googling it, but the first page of results were just about an eponymous City in Alaska. What's a delta junction?
