    Before I was forced to use a out-of-state VPN I had no issues watching games (Amazon will not let you use a VPN when watching movies/games but they will let you buy stuff) I had no issue.  My wife watches Amazon Videos with no issue.   

     

    Do  you have any issue watching Amazon Videos?

    Good suggestion.  I will have to check.

    Well...I see a really cheap inflatable on sale at "Big River" (Amazon) for $239.  inflatable.  Reviews say it works for yoga.  I'd buy a car lighter electric pump too.  Good idea?  Also there are ones including a kayak seat.  Is fishing a possibility?  I'm thinking getting a 10 ft solid board in my car would be a PITA.

    I have an inflatable board, primarily because of the space a hard board takes.  Board (11ft), paddle, pump, bag, leash - all in for $250.  Peak brand on Amazon (not available anymore - https://www.amazon.com/stores/PEAK+Paddle+Boards/page/C81B98CC-88F7-4261-9A12-C73CCC2D5D60?ref_=ast_bln).  I can have mine ready to go via hand pump in less than 10 min.  Went with a vest style PFD.

    You can fish from these.  Folks rig up a cooler as a seat.  Check out this FB page - https://www.facebook.com/groups/isupownersclub/

    Got one and love it - when I can get out on it.  Group of us get out once a month for a paddle board yoga session.  Otherwise I get a small cooler packed, get out somewhere quiet, and chill / jump in once in a while to cool off.  Let me know if you have other questions.

    Any Tour de France followers?

    Follow it 👍.  The reports have been that the Basques have been supporting this well, but this is now shedding a whole new light on things.  Will be interesting on how the reception is in France based on current event and rioting.

    make sure you get a tour guide. they will drive you around and show you a lot of things that are just kind of buried all around the area. You will be impressed with how perfect they keep that place for those boys. I swear there wasn't a blade of grass out of place. 

    That's on my radar.  Taking the train from Paris then picking up the tour.

    We flew into Paris last month and a young guy next to me said he was going strictly to visit Normandy. He was a WWII buff in his 20’s and he was thrilled to get to visit such an important and historic site. I loved his appreciation and dedication. 

    I'm not sure how my emotions will hold up.  I will have just completed a 300 mile bike ride, finishing in Paris the day before the Tour winds up in Paris.

    Article about the Buffalo News

    How does the logistics of the paper being printed in Cleveland and then being delivered to Buffalo homes early in the morning even work? 

    The Columbus Dispatch is printed in Indy.  Information has to be into the printer by 400pm in order for it to be delivered in the morning.  So, any late nite local sports is "covered" on line and then a brief follow up the next day.

    MLB's new pitch clock

    Rob Manfred has proposed and made a lot of changes that have thoroughly pissed me off.

     

    But the pitch clock is one change that I am okay with.

     

    The best part about the rule is that it also applies to batter.

     

    Derek Jeter would perform an entire Catholic mass between every single pitch.  It was ridiculous.  

     

    I read an article today in which a pitcher praised the clock.  Players don't like longer games anymore than fans do.

    Nomar was another that took foooreeveer.
