Love Frank Brigsten! Hope the book is a mix of history, technique and recipes. Will buy several as Christmas gifts.

I really enjoy his versions of the standards and his pecan pie recipe made me throw out my mom’s recipe.

Based on the one leg stand alone I’m letting him off. She kept the test going until he failed.

And are we supposed to believe that the nearest level ground was the booking station?

He probably had a few, but not enough there to convict.

My guess is that there will be plenty of cheap tickets available well before the game.

Small sample size, but the euros I have spoken to on the subject, they don’t really spend a lot in the secondary market for sporting events.

I’d wait until I was going to buy airfare and make a go no go decision then.
I thought I read somewhere else that company was focusing on military contracts for drone boats.
It’s like jumping off a bridge, once you commit, it’s easy.
We have officially entered thunderdome.

“Used to be, the saying was, ‘Where goes New Orleans, where goes the state.’ Let me tell you what happened today. That has changed, ” Landry said Monday after a press conference announcing the expansion of an enormous Meta data center project in northeast Louisiana. “Where goes Louisiana will determine the fate of New Orleans, okay?” the GOP governor said.

I would get a heat pump so that you can cool the water too. My pool is hot as hell in July and August.

Mostly crap, but there are some I would bid on if I had a FFL.
Hope we find out what happened here. Whoever was behind it is probably not liking the attention.

He didn’t put up a half million on day one.

Assuming they keep paying, anyone who thinks SS is a bad deal for the recipients is dumb.

30 years of $1500 contributions is worth less than 30 years of $2500 collections. LINK
So the new position is with a different company?

The new position will be taxing but you might not be miserable? 6 months and then smooth sailing?

How much of your prep work dies if you wait a year?

If different company, no longer miserable almost immediately that would be worth the delay to me. Your current job is killing you, get out of that asap.
This is the thing. Saudi can drive the price to as low as they want. That threat is how they maintain (mostly) production quotas and prices.

If everyone starts producing, Saudis will make that unprofitable quick. But will only last long enough to get everyone back in line.

Saudi’s are going to have to live with a price low enough to keep the shale assets generally unattractive. WAG is $50-60 in the near future.
The NO legislative caucus saved roche over that commie lady with more seniority on the bench when they were eliminating judges.

Wonder if he improperly repaid any debts during this. Clearing the courtroom and ordering a reporter to be cuffed and removed seem a little out of the ordinary.
They shouldn’t expect that guy who has to approve the use of the state bond funds to be signing any checks anytime soon.
And, in the 80s and 90s when Greg was number one in the world he was getting offers of $500k appearance fees for outside events . PGA wouldn’t let him make that money.

Half a million dollars was good money in the 80s. He’s got a legitimate beef with the PGA.

Do you live near any public access racetracks? If so, buy something dedicated for that and keep all that off the public roads. Now if you live in the mountains or something, then maybe okay.

Bring a trailer has track cars every so often that look like fun. Cost of ownership not considered.

Is anyone targeting tarpon commercially? Why?
The complaint I heard in my company was that the people in supply chain were never considered for “the big jobs” or anything outside of contracting and procurement.

Supply chain seems to be in demand with good compensation but if that complaint is broadly true, sort of a limit on future opportunities.
