hard to exclude Larry Carlton on that list.

Just looking at that list and realizing that they mean "Most popular/iconic guitarists of all time" and not "Most skilled guitarists of all time".....yeah, Larry Carlton doesn't belong on it.  He belongs on the one with guys who are serious players.  A few of the ones listed on that graphic belong on both.

College Football Blue Blood Schools
Here's how we're defining the blue blood college football schools - it's about regular season consistency for a long, LONG time.

How many times did you come up with ten wins or more? It's an easy round number to use as a measuring stick, and it's really, really hard to do.

For another round number, 20 - that's how many 10-win seasons are needed to get into our "blue blood" club.

Oh, those silly Dawgs.  Only Georgia math can get you one extra ten-win season > 6 NCs

World’s top 10 busiest airports for passenger traffic in 2024

1. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta (ATL): 108.1 million passengers; up 3.3% from 2023
2. Dubai (DBX): 92.3 million passengers; up 6.1% from 2023
3. Dallas Fort Worth (DFW): 87.8 million passengers; up 7.4% from 2023
4. Tokyo Haneda (HND): 85.9 million passengers; up 9.1% from 2023
5. London Heathrow (LHR): 83.9 million passengers; up 5.9% from 2023
6. Denver (DEN): 82.4 million passengers; up 5.8% from 2023
7. Istanbul (IST): 80.1 million passengers; up 5.3% from 2023
8. Chicago O’Hare (ORD): 80 million passengers; up 8.3% from 2023
9. New Delhi (DEL): 77.8 million passengers; up 7.8% from 2023
10. Shanghai Pudong (PVG): 76.8 million passengers; up 41% from 2023


I've been in 1-8.  When we landed at Dubai from Doha, we were put on a bus that rode so long people on board started laughing that they were bussing us to Amsterdam.  It was very inefficient.

ATL was laid out for folks to change planes, and it works pretty well, usually.

Atlanta scores spot on shortlist of ‘most visited cities’ | Urbanize Atlanta

12th isn't exactly a short list, but whatever.  NYC was 1 by a long margin, followed by cities one might guess.

Rounding out the top five cities for international visitors were Miami, Los Angeles, Orlando, and San Francisco, respectively, with Las Vegas at sixth, according to ITA’s tabulations.

Expectedly so I think.  I would have guessed DC in the top five.

Miami and Fort Lauderdale are MAJOR cruise ports. That explains a lot.

6. Vegas
7. DC
8. Chicago
9. Honolulu
10. Boston
11.  Houston
12.  Atlanta

I idly wonder if they count folks who come through ATL airport en route to somewhere else.

13. Ft. L
14. Dallas
15.  San Diego

Seems about right.  Philadelphia might be top 20.

When I lived in Macon in the early 90's we learned that ATL was the busiest airport, with a plane taking off or landing an average of every 7 seconds.  I guess it's remained the busiest.
