    Off-Topic Covid in Granville (8/21/20): This Date in History

    Among the many stupid decisions made during the Carter administration the decision to boycott the Olympics in Russia ranked near the top. If Roosevelt had made a similar decision Jesse Owens would have never had his chance to make his statement regarding Aryan supremacy.

    Politics Do you boycott?

    I started boycotting Nike and Adidas after all the payola stuff in college basketball recruiting years ago. Admittedly that now seems tame in comparison to the current pay for play scene. Why the hate for McDonalds, who gives more kids their first job than anyone else in the US? Walmart...

    Off-Topic The Foodie Thread

    There's a tortillaria on 98 coming out of Derm towards Wake Forest where you get them hot off the press for a few bucks a pound. I've seen people get twenty pounds or more.
