There are small public schools too, though. Certainly I think TCNJ or SUNY Geneseo is considered as prestigious as some. Maybe not Bucknell but it is pretty darn close IMO.

TCNJ has 7000 undergrads; Genesco 4000; Albright and Franklin & Marshall are in the 2000 range. There are kids who want a smaller school or can't get into TCNJ or Genesco, both of which are pretty selective.

Once again INTC bounces off that 19-20ish area of support on takeover news. This like the 3rd time iirc lol. 24-25ish area usually resistance.

INTC up 10% again on the TSMC AVGO news. Don’t know if I’d say it’s a breakout yet but it’s above a resistance area for now.

Still wonder about a takeover but new admin might be amenable takeovers in general but the other side of that is would they be as amenable to foreign ownership.

Well, as the poster who started this thread, I think it's (way) past time to move it to the CE Board.

I just wanted to have a little lightheartedness with the holiday but now I can see why we can't have nice things.

I appreciate your posts. Keep up the good work. Those were important years also, and I'm sure the mechanics of early government activities in war and governance has some interesting nuggets. I started John Adams but didn't watch it all . Time to go back to it.

Given there was no other president at the time, nor an executive branch to preside over, it does not seem like a meaningful distinction to the nugget of history offered by Source. There is a place for abridged information.

Nor a Constitution. Nor a division from Britain. Nor a Dunkin Donuts/Starbucks.

In truth these men were President of the Continental Congress, which was a wholly different role than President of the United States.

Still rocking on NKE. Got stopped out of it but will relook if it gets into the mid-60s.

NKE a little bump off this news. Wouldnt think much of it myself but 4-5% gain.

I don't have a big fascination either, but I do get a kick out of some of these stories hearing funny or interesting interactions, many showing who these people really are ie Chevy Chase or that they are regular people.

Met Jackie Mason in a NYC restaurant as he walked by our table and said "oye, crowded in here tonight", and we all cracked up just hearing his voice. For you younger people, pull it up on Youtube and you'll understand.

Checked the IDs of the whole band Anthrax when they came into the bar I worked at. I had no idea who they were, even the dude with the long beard.

Took a leak next to a VERY drunk Bruce at a restaurant/bar down the shore 25 years ago.

Met Dwight Gooden while getting a haircut in Metuchen. Very nice guy, talked to me an my son for 10 minutes.

Saw Charles Oakley in Miami airport.... gave him a very wide berth as he did not look happy, so I never said hello.

Met the former and current POTUSA, plus once when he was "just" the guy on the Apprentice. Talked golf briefly. Also met his daughter... failed to make a lasting impression....

Met Supermodel Nikki Taylor. Also failed to make a lasting impression.

Met Elle MacPherson at a Knicks game. Once again, failed to make a lasting impression... but whatever perfume she was wearing was amazing.

Joel was a good man. He gave me basketball tickets for a game years ago and after that we sparked up a casual friendship.

Not if Pike can do what Williard did at Maryland where he found 3 guards that were 2 way players from non Power 5 conferences and hit a home run.

Except we probably need Willard to coach too. Most transfers come here to die, unfortunately.
