FIFA did WC 2022 in Qatar, is likely going to Saudi, so they have a large tolerances. Exempting competitors, government reps may be enough to ignore visa limits, enforcement. 🤨

Yes, this is not yet a place for finding our IRL folks (other than the terminally online like thee and me and a few other local mutuals).
I have re-connected with quite a few that I'd missed from old old 🔵 🐦 . (And a number of others w some overlap over on Fedi.)

½ mile to K-3 elementary school, no crosswalk or crossing guard, just a blinking light at the crossroads (now a major controlled intersection!). At least there was a sidewalk along on the main drag.
(A year or two later, Cub Scout Den meeting was ¾mi on a dirt road to the winterized pond cottages.)

Fascinating!
Glad to see the Field family house being included in renovations.

It's a great deal if and only if the publisher actually honors it, it's a lousy contract if they can't afford to or choose not to do so.

Well that's two reasons now.
(Rather than buying more pens this year, I bought a small jewellery-sized ultrasonic cleaner from Harbor Freight so I can restore the old ones I've ignored too long.)

Leaders/Lawyers concluded so, AND didn't explain to members at large, as it was a non-issue at the time.
(An MLS club getting into CWC during the 6 years of the CBA wasn't likely - prior to Infantino expanding it from 7 teams to 32, and pumping in $prize to attract clubs he wanted.)
