Byron Washington, a junior at Texas high school powerhouse DeSoto, has gone viral after a photo of him playing in Saturday’s Texas state football championship took the internet by a storm. Listed at 6’ 7.5” and 380 pounds on his 247Sports profile, Washington absolutely towered over everyone, including the 6’ 4”, 215-pound pass-rusher he blocked in the now-viral picture during Saturday’s game.
Yeah dang, that's a big boy! They do grow em big here. I'm 5'10" @ 200lbs and depending on where I go, I can feel like a giant, or a midget...Source: BRP Panasonic UB9000, CDP Emotiva ERC3 - Display: LG OLED EVO 83 C3 - Pre/Pro: Marantz 8802A - Amplification: Emotiva XPA-DR3, XPA-2 x 2, XPA-6, Speakers, Mains/2ch-Focal Kanta No2's, C-LSiM706, S-702F/X, RS-RTiA9's, WS-RTiA9's, FH-RTiA3's, Subs - Epik Empire x 2

My time in the SFV ended in the mid 90s when my career did. I tried making it as a real actor for a while, but after a few bit parts on some popular Fox programs, I moved back to the Midwest and opened a diner on a desolate stretch of highway off I-90.nooshinjohn wrote: »

Appears to be two rather different kinds of Electra not often seen together.

Went out to a brewery local to my cabin the other night, they still have some of their pumpkin ale and they started to dress the glass with maple syrup and cinnamon brown sugar.
Not going to lie, it was delicious.

I took these when the fully restored “Big Boy” rolled down Ogden canyon a few years ago. I had to hike about an hour to get to a spot without a crowd of people. Canon 5D MKIII w/ 24-104L IS lens…

Heck, I remember B&O engines looking like that.
I even remember the B&A (Baltimore & Annapolis) railroad -- which at some point was the WB&A (Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis)!
I also espy what looks (to me) like a Rambler American in front of the baby blue Chebbie pickup.
