The only way I was able to ever be inside World Trade, was because I was downtown at City Hall with my folks, and had to use the bathroom, LOL. So, we went into the North Tower and then downstairs, where the PATH entrance was. I was little then, and when I saw that big entrance, I was like, "WOW, lots of people!". After that, and using the bathroom, we then left, but not without one last look of how tall they were. That happened in late August, shortly before 9/11...sad part is, I never got to see the WTC complex in entirety :-( |

Before Atlantic City became popular and the $1,000 total given away during the course of the night was worth more in real dollars than today, I thought it was popular. Not so much today, as there ia a lot more gambling competition. I played in my early twenties before joining the TA and didn't win much. I even worked on the church bingo and was a caller. Strange for a 20 something year old to get told by a bunch of old ladies one step away from the grave to "shake your balls". |

Scubaed?) in open water above 65 degrees 3) Driven in excess of 125mph (that I know of, the speedometer stopped at 120) 4) Other than Virginia, been to a state that seceded from the union, while having visited every other state that did not, other than Maine, Alaska, and Hawaii. 5) Been on a nuclear powered ship 6) Been to any Canadian province other than British Columbia 7) Gone hunting 8) Viewed any more than a minute or two of a professional wrestling match, be it in person, on TV, or even heard on the radio. |

I haven't rode in an Amtrak Superliner. I never shot a gun, rode a motorcycle or used a chainsaw. No loss. In sports, I have never attended an NBA game. I have never been to the Meadowlands. The last NHL game I saw was about 39 years ago. A game during a blizzard at MSG between the Rangers and the Minnesota North Stars for my 16th birthday. MSG was like 1/4 full on a Sunday afternoon. The game started late because the opposition arrived late on their train. Thankfully the station was downstairs! For the NFL it was worse, correction the AFL. It was when I was a cub scout when I saw the New York TITANS on a raw Saturday afternoon at the Polo Grounds. |

I was fortunate to have been to the crown of the SoL and been to the observation deck of the WTC. Sadly, it was like maybe 15 years ago, so my memory of those are getting fuzzy.I've been to the top of the Empire State Building and I don't mean just the 86th floor, I think also 10-15 years ago I was able to get to the 96th and 102nd floors. I don't know why they no longer allow visitors past the 86th floor anymore. |

I've never been to the Statue of Liberty as it never really interested me. I've also been up the Eiffel Tower which was a lot like going up one of those towers that they have at amusement parks. |

Ditto for 16.If you fly to Africa, do it on a US or European carrier. Whenever you get on an African carrier, you add an unfavorable die roll modifier to the die roll which determines whether your plane is airworthy. |
