5th read Dark Star Safari by Paul Theroux. He's my favourite writer and does an excellent travel piece on Africa. Not pith hats and coctails on elephant back either...real travel. You'll enjoy it
Thanks for the suggestion Cuz. I'll check it out. A (white) relative of mine attempted that journey on bicycle once. Couldn't finish as he got ripped off by a fellow traveller. But yeah, its a whole different world out here for us Westerners. Blunts readily available though

Yeah, had a few safety meetings with the young 'uns. I guess I'm the cool uncle lol. Grass is pretty mild but better than nothing. I found out the stuff they buy has seeds in it. I guess demand is high as 90% of the kids smoke, so I'm told.

I'd be so tempted to hide a couple seeds somewhere and try and grow exotic Kenyan cheeb back home. Or mail it to yourself might be safer

I see hope and why you guys spoke well of him....but I'm not convinced the talent will be fully realized.
I worry about his pace, his size and his wrist.
I agree with that assessment, but would add that I think a greater proportion of his talent could be realised on a team that was better at protecting its players and/or enjoyed more protection from league officials. If some NHL GM out there agrees with me, there's potential for an old-fashioned hockey trade where both teams get back an equivalent talent player, but a better fit to team needs. The (previous?) existence of such trades is the rationale behind drafting the BPA, (and I agree he was probably the BPA, which was in some ways another bit of bad luck for Benning) rather than for position or role.

...I doubt you'd find anyone at this site that would disagree with this assessment RG.
