8 best uses of AA Miles. Travel Is Free returns after a long absence…
A reminder about the best plastic promo going on these days.
Well, as I was getting ready to get some National Car certs with my Discover dinero Frequent Miler reports the deal appears killed. Which goes to show you what happens when things get blogged out. Some benefit until they notice. And then BOOM. And this cracking sound just gets whipped so much faster these days #sosad

Deep conversation with my 13 yr old daughter while driving her to dance practice:
Her: So you heard the new Adele song?
TBB: No.
Her: What, are you serious? It broke the internet!
TBB: Really? I wondered what happened to her.
Then the song comes up on the car radio!
Her: Starts singing “Hello”
TBB: “Is it me you are looking for?”

First, of course.
2nd, because I was reading this wonderful article:

I am always astonished when major finds like this are discovered. You would think that the whole of Greece had been given the fine-tooth-comb treatment by archaeologists.
Actually it has not been fine-tooth-combed…If they had dedicated more funds toward this effort they would uncover so much more, the whole country has so much of this stuff still to be discovered. Thanks
That would be a great way to put Syrians to work.It would also stimulate the economy. All paid by Germany to reduce the influx of immigrants to northern Europe.
There was a very highly regarded novel written in the 60s, The Horsemen, which centered around the sport of about Bushkazi. Also was made into a movie.

I’ve always wanted to see a game of Buzkashi.

If you see a blogger pumping the affiliate 40k HH pts link tell them he/she is a greedy sob and click away for ever from that site!
