CONUS kill. Outstanding.

I would make sure every trooper in AZ knew it was me and then expect to be able to drive at “trooper speed” anytime I went through AZ.

Wasn’t a break a root infiltrated we knew where it started but not where it ended.

I was in my 20s when I started having to be there part time. I didn’t see it then and less so now.
I’ll wait to temper expectations until we see who is here.

With NIL and the transfer portal turn around can happen fast. The playoffs aren’t out of the question but also 3-4 losses could be as well.
I offices out of New York for almost 10 years. I do not see the appeal.

HARD physical work


Can confirm. My son’s house just had a blockage in his main with a tree root. Digging down to and along the main until we got to the right place and then replacing and filing the whole in wore this old man and him out.


We should have rented a mini excavator and it would have been easy.
Casa Bonita was the best place to have birthday parties growing up in the Denver area.

It’s iconic. The food has always borderline sucked but everything else is great. Now I want some sopapillas
Several grandmother types went to jail for the insurrection if that’s what you’re looking for.
It’s crazy how tough military members were back then. The lack of warm clothes, boots, and food were just dealt with.

Today there would be a congressional investigation for a hang nail damn near.

As a vet when I look at what the WWII and WWI guys fought with I’m amazed. We are so soft now comparatively.
I ran into that issue at a buddies beach house in Huntington Beach. I was like wtf?

I ended up just carrying my shite on principal.
Is it the “Michigan Man” way to sleep with a subordinate, force her to have an abortion, and then threaten to kill yourself in front of her when your chickens come home to roost?

Russia isn't powerful enough to be "the other"


The other is often not strong enough to be a real threat. There only has to be a perception of a threat for those in power to convince the masses. With a willing media it is even easier.

Why not take them straight to a near by airport where a C-130 is waiting to take them home.
Philosopher Renee Girard says it best. For the powerful to stay in power, there must be an “other” to blame things on.

China bought and paid for enough politicians to not be the other so it leaves Russia. A country we have much more in common with than may other “allies”.

Building 6-12 month cds month over month then start the recycle to show the compounding.


For most teens they should be pretty heavily weighted toward equities and growth. The impact of compounding can still be shown but their investment horizon is long enough they can and should be more aggressive than just CDs. Even in a 529 type education fund until they are within a few years of needing the money they should be pretty heavy in equities.
There’s tamales around South Sioux City, Nebraska, and their restaurants literally have signs on them that say no whites. Imagine if that was reversed.

The numbers are atrocious.


Believe I know. The sad part is this person could ladder CDs and live an amazing life for generations without touching the principal. They most likely won’t.
