    AIS destinations I believe are manually entered.  It's not unusual for a boat to show 'the barn' as the destination when heading for lay up.  Someone in the Anderson's pilothouse is having some fun.

    As a follow up to this, I recall a few seasons back a Canadian boat's destination was shown as 'Miller Time'.  I asked a friend who sails relief out of the union hall if the boat was going to lay up.  No, he informed me, the boat was heading to Miller Aggregates in Windsor Ontario for a load of stone.  There's some measure of creativity on the part of whoever's filling in the destination on at least Boatnerd.com's AIS.

    With a name like that, I always expected him to have a British accent. 

    Maybe the Eagles will get charges dropped based on the International Player Pathway Program! 😁

    And while we're at it, isn't it time for a 'where's Christian Wade?' thread?

    Take New Mexico State and the points.  I sent Alabama my post saying "Wow, you should play the Detroit Lions!"

    56-3 for Alabama.  Well, this really sticks in my craw. 😠

    I wish to lodge a protest, in that when I went to check the results, Google actually made me scroll to find the score.  This is truly an intentional slight on Google's part of the fine program at Alabama.

    Actually, Philo of Alexandria is the other person attributed credit.  It is believed by many to really be John Watson (1850-1907), under the pen name of Ian Maclaren.

    I purposely waited until World Kindness Day was over to offer this. 🤨😁
