Young girl, violins, the center of her own attention.
I have worked in the ready mix business for 27 years. Aggregates (course and fine) and yearly increases per ton are the main drivers. It’s not really that complicated. Concrete continues to underperform as far as profitability is concerned when compared to the individual components that go into concrete. Course aggregate is by far the most profitable component today. A decade ago it was cement. Blame the agg companies. That is the main reason.

Still doesn’t make sense. I have lived here all my life. Was actually involved in Cop City project. What is your angle of a mechanic on that helicopter being from Lilburn have to do with Cop City?

Not really the same vicinity. 25 or so miles away. Not sure where you were going with that.
Yeah. You were in the middle transition decade. We had the beginning stuff like Atari and Coleco handhelds. Walkman and boom boxes. Went from rotary to those fancy push bottom phones, but still had the 20 foot cord to untangle. Five channel Zenith TV with rabbit ears that were the size of a chest of drawers. Peak in through the back vent holes to see all the tubes thinking “that’s crazy, how does that even work.” Freaking green machines and big wheels and pieced together bikes with banana seat one month and pear seat the next. Nobody available to run through the woods or ride bikes with so either toss a ball up in the air playing catch with yourself until you got tired or throw rocks at a tree. Bouncing tennis balls off the side of the house taking grounders. So many great memories.
Agree. I automatically root against any pro golfer that uses one.
It was great in the 70s. We just didn’t know it. Playing outside in the woods until dark. No social media. Using your imagination to make up games with other kids in the neighborhood to fill up a day. And the roar of that attic fan when you flipped the switch to pull that breeze through the house at night. Good and simple times.
Couldn’t see but heard someone was riding the lightning at the end of the video!

If that is the case, he will have nothing to worry about. Just better to make sure he equips himself with the man’s name and even address. Have a story ready of how they are acquainted.
My daughter is 14 and a very good Junior golfer. What I have noticed at her tournaments is that Asians start their girls out a very early ages. It is a cultural thing. In their American Asian culture, it is almost like you and your family are pariahs if you don’t have them playing golf by 8. Not all of them excel though. There are a few on the GSGA Jr tour that I feel sorry for. It’s like they are pressured to play but can’t break 100 if their life depended on it.

Buddy. I only got to go one day. That was Sunday. The guy whose badge got confiscated was on Saturday. Got to hear all about it when I arrived at the house at 5:00pm. Dude was catching hell and the badge owner/ house owner was in a bit of a panic. He ended up driving over Sunday morning and going to the gate with the group so he would be there in person.
Patel and Bondi were appointed for one reason. To shield Trump from the high level agency level of harassment and attacks. They are not there to prosecute the wrongs of the deep state of the last 8-10 years. It’s sad seeing so many believe they are there to make wrongs right. That was never their job in this administration. Shield Trump. That is it.

They confiscated 100s of badges this year. They allowed the people in with a complimentary 1 day pass but took the badge. My group rents a house every year and it comes with 8 badges for daily entry. The man and wife who rent the house to us each have 4 badges that were passed down to them when the grandfather clause was still a thing.

Augusta National has a system now that pings and tracks badges patterns of movements. Starting around Wednesday this year, they were pulling people aside at the entry gates and questioning the origin of the badges. They were asking whose name the badges were in and if you didn’t know who the original patron was, they were taking the badges. Our daily client groups were briefed to say they were friends of the actual badge holders. We had a script. One dude didn’t listen and said he was there as a guest of our company. His badge was confiscated and he was allowed entry with a complimentary pass.

The fact is that Augusta National is going to cash in on the premium secondary market instead of allowing all of the brokers to pocket the insane markup. They have partnered with one single premium broker who will have exclusivity in premium sales. All confiscated badges do not go back into the waiting list lottery. They are being turned over to this exclusive broker who will sell on behalf of ANGC while keeping a percentage.

They probably don’t post here. But cool breaking bad post anyway.
I was a kitchen manager at Chili’s for a couple of years when I was at UGA in the early 90s. I ate more damn crispers while on shifts than you could imagine. And back in those early days , we had a burger called the Rojo Burger. It had a tangy red hickory sauce that was my favorite. They removed it from the menu around 95. Bad move IMO.
It’s all about due process. You are a champion of due process. Most people might not recall when you were on this very board daily lamenting the lack of due process for the J6 prisoners. Everyday, you stood in solidarity with those detained. You argued vehemently on their behalf and displayed a great concern regarding the violation of their Constitutional rights. Do you remember?

Of course you don’t because it never happened. Your are a fraud.
How many of them had gray treated tips, the big Kenny Perry type visors, wearing a loud Bogey Bro or Bad Birdie Polo over a size 40 waist. And had a long and fat cigar and sandals?
I was there Sunday. The course was dry. Not hard as a tabletop. But it was dry. Only saw a little wet in the spectator areas along the13th fairway in a couple of spots.
