I have been doing short World Cup game reviews Saturday and Sunday.
Did you miss my Sunday Best of Web post? TBB Best of Web: North Korea Reality, Theranos Expose, Debt Truths, Prisons Mental Health.
Just as chasing airline elite status went extinct…same is happening to hotel elite status chasing. Of course bloggers will not tell you to stop chasing status because it is no longer worth it anymore. But if you insist I guess. 15 shortcuts to Marriott Platinum Elite status.
These are really funny! The World’s Worst Air Routes. Obligatory lame blogger question: Which ones are your favorites? Mine are:
BAD-SEX (Barksdale Air Force Base, USA – Sembach Air Base, Germany): Perhaps not the route you wanna fly before meeting your partner.
FAT-GUY (Fresno Yosemite International, USA – Guymon Municipal, USA): Well, the USA is country number 17 on the list of those with the highest body mass index.
JAC-KAS-SES (Jackson Hole, USA – Karasburg, Namibia – Selfield, USA): A bit of a detour, I’d say.
Pretty good list here: 10 breathtaking spots for cliff diving in the U.S.
Another good one, this is an AFAR list: 8 Breezy Floating Bars Around the World.
I would never imagine Valletta, Malta will be at the top of this list! The 7 best places for gay travel summer 2018
If you wanted to read a good article about Greece and where they stand now, this is a great one. The same old story, in a worse version.
What a great idea! Watsi Crowdfunding. Directly fund life-changing surgeries for people around the world.
Wow, I had no idea so many! How many animals are born in the world every day? Chickens: 62 Million!!!
Your personal finance fix: Life is More than Compounding Money. Yeah, really! Don’t be like them!

Another youtube song link, I remembered!
I ran again 5 miles. And lowered my personal best time by 2.21 minutes #mindblown I am starting to feel the first one or two miles are warmups now, strange! Hope I keep it up!
I hope all fathers had a great day yesterday! And mothers tooooo!
This is the reason Mexico beat Germany in the World Cup! Lol. I love it!
And I leave you with this…Mexican kid after beating Germany?

Buzz-
Seems Trump is really on to something-separating families from kids to gain political leverage.
He should expand on this. Maybe play loud, scary music in the kids’ area so they can’t sleep. Keep it up until McCain changes his vote on health care. And blame it on McCain until he does.
Are we gettin’ great or what?
MileageUpdate says
I hate that this policy started under the Trump Admin. He should have fixed it not allow it to continue
TBBTheDude says
Lol….I was thinking what you are going to come up to explain that…smh
Dml says
Good morning!
TBBTheDude says
Not a good morning in Panama and South Korea 🙂

Belgium may finally go far in the tournament. It would be nice to have a new team winning the WC. I don’t think an Asian team will win (sorry Iran). Hoping for Iceland!
In a tournament without Italy and Netherlands, favorites Argentina, Brazil and Germany may be eliminated in the group stage!
TBBTheDude says
Yeah, Belgium is very strong. If they keep their head together they can go very far! Not sure about winning it all…
England narrowly escaped when they should have been up 5 in the first half. Same old story with the Koreans, getting tiring lol. Amazing that African teams have lost all games, maybe Senegal tomorrow can break that horrific streak.

Good afternoon from the AGM of the TBB ‘Blogs we don’t like’ list, here in very sunny Washington.
The Gate and I are here to provide good examples (or something like that) and then we’re off to see some Irish rock group later.
Raffles says
Extra security has been hired for TPG as Adam1222 from FT is known to be in the area …
ABC says
BA has been courting you for quite some time. Randy hasn’t made you an attractive offer yet?
Raffles says
BA would bring me no benefit at all, given that I am only interested in London based professionals.
TBBTheDude says
For a moment there I thought that was addressed to me and I was about to lol
Hey, can you add some kind words about me so they can invite me to these things, you know I love free swag. Fully disclosed of course. Hey, Kane scored in injury time to save yourass today against Tunisia!

Travelogue of interest to me and possibly to a few of you: some gringo just took a very tense motorcycle ride the length of Nicaragua and related his experiences:

I love that air connections map – for some reason it mesmerizes me like some sort of neural map from an alien hive colony… what would be really cool is if someone started with a map of worldwide major international land and sea trade routes from ancient times and then animated it over time and gradually brought in the air routes.
TBBTheDude says
That sounds really psychedelic man 🙂
TravelBloggerBuzz says
Over 60 guests made it to the MMS event and they raised $200 for some charity…

Finally proof that Poland did not deserve to be top ranked in the WC.
TBBTheDude says
Sorry too busy to do the World Cup game reviews any longer!
Loved the Senegal result!
Lucky Japan to play with one more man for all of the game! Crazy group!
Egypt showed up but the darn Russians are on fire. At least Egypt scored. What a freak first goal. Allah was not with them. Again.
