I try to drink plenty of water each day, but I probably don't drink anywhere near the suggested amounts I've found online. According to the Mayo Clinic men should drink 15.5 cups of water a day and I've found other sources which suggest that a person should drink .5 oz per lb. Either of those ways I never come close most days. I think I'd be in the bathroom most of the time if I did. I don't drink that much of any liquids combined except for when I'm in the mood to drink lots of beer. A bit off topic as it doesn't exactly relate to dehydration, but I know that a lot of times muscle cramps are caused by dehydration. I used to get a lot of nocturnal leg cramps. My wife read that Magnesium would help prevent those, and started making me take a supplemental pill every night. This has almost eliminated these cramps completely. Perhaps something for any athletes who deal with persistent cramping to consider. I think pickle juice is supposed to help as well, but I think I might rather have the cramps than to down a glass of pickle juice.

It would give me more confidence, but I'll admit I'm still skeptical as to the speed in which these were produced. Any other vaccines have taken way more time to develope, test, etc. If rumors of FDA approval this fall come true, than it will be based upon pressure but on the agency and not due to any rigorous testing, etc. When these vaccines were announced the manufacturers promised that they were about 95% effective or so, this doesn't seem to be the case. Look at Israel for example. They are supposed to be one of the most highly % vaccinated countires in the world and they are currently experiences a high number of cases. If I can see that the vaccine is safe and it works than I would have more faith giving it to my daughters. We don't know a lot or anything about any long term effects of these vaccines but we do know that thus far severe infections in children have been very infrequent. I will not force my childern to get this vaccine until I have certain that it is safe for them.

Let's be honest, although the Big 10 and Pac 10 / 12 like to brag about their academic standards, academics aren't going to factor into planning for the survival of a D1 football conference. Money is king. Always has been. If academics were so important why not poach from the Ivy League.

As a parent it way pretty easy to decide to get my kids vaccinated for polio and measles as both of these vaccines have been in use for 50+ years. There are still a lot of unknows about these new vaccines, including the fact that they are not yet FDA approved. I'm in no rush to make my daughters take these.

It's D1 college football. It's always going to be about money.

Ketchup, mustard, relish, and onion. Although we do have a popular drive in restaurant in town which serves them wrapped in cheese and bacon, in which cause I will eat it without any sauces.

I would like to see some kids give up their scholarships so that those monies could be given to a walk-on instead. For example the QB at Ohio St. or Alabama will earn more than enough to pay their tuition plus profit substantially.

It should have an impact on pell grants. Those are need based. If an athlete is making six figures than he no longer has the same need and it would be robbing another student who would be more deserving of the assistance.

That's the grill I'm probably going to get eventually. Just need to save up some $ first. Everytime I get some set aside teenage daughters come along.

As much as that game hurt to lose, I think you still have to go with one of the times UK finished runner up in the tournament. Beating Wisconsin did not guarantee a title. 39-1 might sting even worse.

Dick Vitale calling a Duke game next season will be a preview of what hell is like.

I think Henderson Co. would be pretty similar to Christian Co. Of course their city and county schools consolidated decades ago. Fairly sure that they are one of the largest public schools in the state.

That is how Muhlenburg Co. is set up.

I travel around a lot for my job, especially western Kentucky. As far as I can recall Hickman, Carlisle, Ballard, and Livingston Counties are the only ones on that side of the state that do not have a chain restaurant.

Hancock Co. almost makes the cut. They have a Subway in Lewisport, but that is it as far as restaurant chains.

I wonder if Kings Island might provide some sort of transportation. My daughter worked 4 years for Holiday World starting when she was 14. They had busses that would pick the kids up at various locations each morning and take them to work and then bring them back in the evening. We just had to get her to a local church parking lot to meet the bus.

A bit of an off the wall suggestion but check out the St. Louis Cathedral which is located across from Jackson Square. The older portions of the current building date back to the late 1700's and the parish itself originated in the early 1700's when the area was still under Spanish rule. Even if your not Catholic, I think you would appreciate the architecture and history of this beautiful building. And to echo what others have said taking the streetcar down St. Charles into the Garden District is an enjoyable time. There are some fabulous homes in that area. The beignets at Cafe du Mond are perhaps a bit overrated but still pretty good and I guess that's the thing to do in New Orleans so might has well check that off your bucket list if you havent' already. Get a Hurricane at Pat O'Brien's, where the drink was invented, or grab a drink at Laffitte's Blacksmith Shop which is purported to be the oldest bar in the United States, dating back to the early 1700's.

I'll look into this. Thanks for the recommendation.

I would like to see Alcatraz, but it's my understanding that as of now the tours are of the exterior only. Doesn't really seem worth it if you can't see the inside of the prison.

I plan to travel 17 mile drive, would love to get to see Pebble Beach, hopefully Covid won't restrict access from at least visiting the clubhouse. We've been to a lot of zoos and I know that San Diego is supposed to be one of the best if not the best in the country, just with limited time in the area, I think there our other things that we can do which can only be seen in that area. Plus I think Covid restrictions are still limiting what can be done at the zoo.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Carmel by the Sea is for sure one of the towns I plan to visit.

As of now, I believe the Hearst Castle remains closed for tours. Hopefully that might change by mid July. We both love Mexican food. I looked up Frutiland on Yelp and there food looks amazing, and it seems like we would likely get to there location within lunchtime so it might be an ideal stop that day. Thanks.
