Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Enjoy Your Holiday Weekend

Make it a safe, fun holiday, BON'ers. I'll be catching up with some old friends and spending my remaining time finishing the 1998 review for the Greg Davis series. That will run Monday and we'll go from there.

Happy 4th of July.

Also, give a thought

to what it’s all about. I’m going to be spending this 4th of July (and most of the next two years) in lovely La Paz, Bolivia. I’ve found that nothing reminds you of how special the United States is, and what a privilege it is to be an American, like being outside of the States on Independence Day. Not being able to take the day for granted as an excuse to grill some meat and down some beverages gives one ample time to think some deeper thoughts (more or less) the meaning of the holiday.

Oh and, somebody drink 3 or 4 Shiners for me. The altitude here makes one a real cheap drunk, and well, Shiner is completely unheard of.

Happy Independence Day, ladies and gentlemen.

So take that.

Happy Fourth to you, too, Kahuna.

If I remember correctly, La Paz is about 10k. That will take a lot of adjustment. You probably don’t feel that Texas heat either.

Good luck down there; stay safe.

11-14k

The airport is at 14, my house is about 11.5 I think. And it was 26 degrees F when I stepped off the plane yesterday morning at 6:30AM. It is a whole other country.

So take that.

Happy 4th

I’ll take you up on drinking a few Shiners for you.

Enjoy Bolivia and always remember there will be cold Shiner and good BBQ for you waiting in Texas.
