A dark day for Houston to be sure. Hope they'll be back on their feet soon.

Well, you know what this means. Top Golf coming to B.R. baby!

Dupuy and a few others are going over from CB&I, formerly Shaw.
Jim Bernhard is rebuilding with his Shaw people. Wonder what this means for CB&I staying in BR.

While the media keeps complaining because Jindal won't raise tax, the Gov keeps on working to improve LAs economy. But keep on complaining OT, carry on.

Can we give the corporation back to Houston in exchange for one of their loops?

I thought this would be about Rodan & Fields. All the former sorostitutes on my FB involved in this pyramid schemes have been dropping hints about a "big announcement"

Don't book it yet about 75% of what this administration announces never happens.
