On a different thread about Ronnie years ago, I mentioned watching him and Tony race each other around The Riv convention center while riding their electric carts. Actually the last time I saw either of them. Never got to spend much time with Tony other than a few minutes at Pool Sharks...

Ronnie stayed at the house in Vegas for a few months before moving to Tony R's. While on a road trip to Reno for the Open, asked him that question. In between the beers and the shots, he said he could give Fats a ball but didn't like it! Lyn

Brian, Glad you got tested. Obviously hope it was negative. Hope to see you again down the road! Lyn

Dean, Purchased the "highlights" version of Jay's video of Ronnie / Dannie years ago. Jay also had a full length version available at the time. Never looked to see if it was available as a "stream". Lyn

Nathan, My simple response is "if you walk into a pool room and see someone with the exact same cue and you don't care", my guess is having a "spiffier" cue won't matter. If you really care, buy the "spiffier" version. Odds of seeing another one just like it are minimal. Lyn

Brian, Just read on the Vegas pool players site two BCA players from Alberta tested positive for the virus upon returning home from Vegas. Want all my fellow USAPL travelers from Rochester to be vigilant for the next couple of weeks. We all flew home together. You're correct about not...

The same guy who made your break cue must have made my playing cue. It's marked Baribushka. We have several of his cues on the wall at the pool room as well. Wallabushkas if I remember correctly. Lyn

Oh well Patrick. We miss you at East Ridge. As you might have seen on our Facebook page, Chris shut the room down completely. Good call. Lyn

Even with the 14 day number, Tom and the other players should be safe if they exhibit no symptoms by tomorrow. Keep vigilant everyone. Lyn

Tom, The event was two weeks ago. Unless the CDC suddenly changed it's COVID-19 stats, the incubation period is 2 - 9 days. Pretty sure you should be OK if you show no symptoms now. Be vigilant though. See you soon! Lyn

Hum, wonder what YOUR parents thought of YOU when you were in college? Lyn

Brian, I'd hate to lose my yearly "paycheck :wink: " but............... Hope everyone stays safe. One cancelled event will not change history. Keeping two thousand pool players safe is the right thing. Perhaps he can run SBE later in the year. Will miss seeing you. Lyn

Str8, Martin Bick at Superior Cues sold a very similar Snakewood cue several years ago. Made by Kent Davis. Advertised as the "Snake Charmer". It may be possible the same guy purchased your cue to be part of a collection. Lyn

Mitch, I drive from Rochester to Vegas and Vegas to Rochester once each year. 2409 miles each way. Hard to argue with flying. By the time I get just south of Cleveland, my SW non stop flight would be landing in Vegas. In the reverse direction, I would not even be getting to Grand Junction...

Bob, Think the free drinks are courtesy of either your credit card company or Rapid Rewards. Lyn

It has been my experience over the last ten years, SW (or TSA) does not open and check any bag I've checked. Use an unusual color plastic tie wrap to close the travel case. By law, they have to insert a notice if the bag has been opened. More concerned my bag being lost or shipped to the...

Drove from Rochester, NY to Las Vegas last September. Philly is roughly the same mileage. It would take Martin three days minimum to drive. SBE is located around thirty miles northwest of the Philly airport. Drove from LAS to SMF via RNO a few years ago. 400 miles and 9 hours. Lyn

Bob, I'm with you. Martin should fly Southwest to Philly. Two checked bags and effectively two carry on's, If you use the electronic kiosk and apply the shipping tags yourself, it is the simplest way to go. Also earn roughly two round trips on LUV with my two credit cards yearly. Pretty...

Think your comment needs to be tempered by "usually" :rolleyes: ;) !

Nope, just the usual characters. Chris. Archie, Ronnie, Nick, Gary, etc.
