  1. If you know how to get shit done, you will never need to worry about an employer making a poor short-term decision about you. It is a big, free country with lots of opportunities.
  2. I think that would be news to him. https://kamu.tamu.edu/radio/radio-programs/easy-sounds-of-the-50s-and-60s/
  3. NSIAP -- Classic Dave South and aggy:
  4. Thanks. But it sounded really good when I wrote it!
  5. The last game that Bear Bryant coached was the loss to Texas in that Cotton Bowl. Just saying ...
  6. That's a tall building! More images and details here: https://austin.towers.net/inside-waterline-downtown-austins-record-breaking-supertall-tower-plan/?pro=caitlyn@towers.net
  7. My current E-Class MB is at 136K, and I got well over 200K each from the three prior ones. You do need to stay on top of their service intervals, but you have to avoid the dealerships. As an example, Park Place MB in Dallas specializes in providing the most expensive "free" coffee ever to those unfortunate MB owners who venture there for service.
  8. Dave South was such a treasure -- for Longhorn fans!
  9. There is a reason that I have a couple of jars of bacon squeezings in my fridge and freezer!
  10. Tell us that you've never bought a company, without telling us ... It would be a very odd company that just has an extra $1 MM in cash to "pull out" after the transaction. Cash and receivables are often either excluded from a sale or there is an agreed-upon working capital target, with dollar for dollar adjustments to the buyer or seller depending upon whether the target was missed or exceeded. This does not apply if you want to buy multiple small insurance companies and pull money out of them to impress your girlfriends, but then you might have to change your address and wear odd clothing for a long time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Frankel
  11. “Why aren't we flying? Because getting there is half the fun. You know that.”
  12. The only problem with the Craig Way call is that you can still hear BBQ Bob in the background noise.
  13. They eventually all sync at the end of the game. Def worth it to avoid Galindo's call altogether.
  14. Seems rather classic to me, style wise, but YMMV. Both years have Bluetooth connectivity, satellite services and such. No backup camera or auto assist driving stuff. I'm OK with that. Just a great road car that has given me lots of miles over the years.
  15. I'm gonna keep on buying pristine used black 2008-2009 MB E350s at under 50k miles for the rest of my life if I can find them. Two so far. Seriously great model of a car.
  16. Cold chips out a bag and crappy salsa, both likely straight from the Sysco truck. Hard to overcome that. Sad. I used to love that place in the Doug English and Clay McPhail, et al. era.
  17. This is why I have always appreciated the CarMax business model. They segregate the three business transactions. The sale of your trade-in The purchase of a car The financing (if any) of said car Traditional car dealers blur all of that shit up.
