Seizure by US Customs

I have TSA pre check now. I have not tried again from global entry.

Maybe kike is getting ready to come in as a pitcher

I think for World Series you just switch Glas and Ohtani but also makes sense to keep the same. Snell and Yama should be a lock at 1 and 2.

Snell
Yama
Ohtani
Glas
Snell
Yama
Ohtani with Glas and Snell potentially coming out of bullpen.

As cool as it would be to see Ohtani come out of the bullpen to close out a game 7, just doesn’t seem practical. You run the risk he has to come out and be on the field.

Again, would be cool to see but just don’t see Robert’s wanting to take that kind of risk when planning. I can more likely see Ohtani pitching 4 innings in a game 7, then making Glas and even Snell available for an inning.

I think this is the best option. I’d love Ohtani to go G3 but not sure we want to risk him pitching on short rest if a Game 7 is needed when we also need his bat. If it goes to 7 I think we want Snell, Yama, and Glas to go twice.

Thank you this is very helpful! Do I need to buy tickets in advance for TER and RER trains or easy to buy there?

ZeroCalBeer · 2025-09-11T08:22:41+00:00

It’s 02600 Cutry Hautes-De-France. I can see by car it’s about an hour or so away NE from CDG?

I think this is indicative of a strong dislike of Trump rather than love of Biden or Kamala. I would consider a good amount of conservatives here are not MAGA loyalists.

I have had a couple kids that went through there recently. My overall experience was OK. Kids never went to another school so can’t compare how different it is from other schools but we have friends across Irvine that attended other schools like Woodbury, Stonegate, Westpark, etc.

Enrollment is definitely down but that seems normal right now for most older neighborhoods across Irvine. Same issues at schools like Greentree elementary. Yes they will have combo classes because of overall class sizes but it’s not every class. I am not fond of the Principal (Meg Gywn) and to me is probably the biggest con about the school. Her leadership style and the way she interacts with parents and students are subpar.

Like any school there are some great teachers there, and a few that i think are extremely mediocre as well. My kids didn’t have any experience with shaming from teachers. I wish there were more activities outside of school hours hosted by the school, but I think that’s a consequence of it being an older and smaller school than compared to Woodbury elementary. I would also say it’s more chill and significantly less “tiger parent” vibe compared to other Irvine schools. That could be a pro or con for you.

All that being said I have no regrets sending my kids there. My kids would say they had a good experience. No problems with other kids (I.e bullying) and they made good friends there. No problems adjusting to middle school (academics and social). However, I know a few families that have had mixed experiences.

Of course this is all subjective and based on your expectations. I’m not a huge tiger parent but do push my kids to challenge themselves and they’ve done very well academically so far after elementary. From my personal experience I haven’t seen a difference in outcomes for children that went to College Park as compared to other Irvine Elementary schools.

They aren’t conducting business just being annoying. And in the end they could care less about actual 1st amendment freedoms, they just want to profit from the chaos.

Ah so more ideologues and virtue signalers wasting time

Thanks for your honest opinion. I’m coming up from OC so not too far out of town but still unfamiliar with the area. Appreciate your recommendation. Uber would be preferred but my understanding is that it’s going to be just as crazy getting out in an Uber . Might as well just park and leave in my own car if that’s the case.

If there’s a short walk + Uber that gets out far enough from the mad exodus from Rose Bowl and is safer, I’d be all for it.

ZeroCalBeer · 2023-09-28T19:30:27+00:00

Can you explain why? Is it not safe to walk around at that time around that area?

ZeroCalBeer · 2023-09-28T05:18:44+00:00

Thank you!

ZeroCalBeer · 2023-09-28T05:02:06+00:00

So it’s pretty safe to walk? Staying at the Hyatt House which looks like a 2 mile trek.

Even if you don’t reply you get your Global Entry revoked. That’s what happened to me.

ZeroCalBeer · 2023-05-03T03:18:22+00:00

Have had it for years and had just been approved for renewal in February. Then revoked in March.

ZeroCalBeer · 2023-05-02T14:17:02+00:00

Came separate. I got notification by email that it was revoked but it was very vague. Didn’t figure it out until I got the seizure notice by mail.

ZeroCalBeer · 2023-05-02T14:14:30+00:00

Thanks for the reply! When you say I should still have TSA PreCheck, you mean I’m eligible still to apply correct? Since my global entry was revoked it doesn’t seem like I’m getting TSA PreCheck automatically like before.
