In dozens of flights, she had exactly ONE bad time - and it was from Portland, ME to Boston (so, barely an hour....

[quote]Fast forward 10 years and you just see a mosaic wall of a hundred different brands and types, and quickly scan for the handful that you recognize. So IMO market oversaturation is a factor.[/quote] And the free money spigot of low interest loans has been turned off. A lot of breweries w...

[quote]They just made a bunch of poor business decisions.[/quote] While I understand the Go Woke, Go Broke hurr durrs are running wild, it's worth reading the article linked on the first page. It's a tale much older than Go Woke, Go Broke, it's the old private equity pump and dump scheme....
I seen't Aerosmith there. That was PEAK 90s Aerosmith. I half expected Alicia Silverstone and Liv Tyler to come out on stage. No mention of "The Greatest Show on Earth"? I think it was: Live Hootie Better Than Ezra Cowboy Mouth (A VERY early) 3 Doors Down...
From Backspacer on - it usually took me a while to warm up to the new albums, and usually it was hearing the songs live that finally got me up to speed. I liked this one from the jump, and heard songs that I could instantly tell were going to be bangers live. Can't wait for the Wrigley Shows....

[quote]Any reputable police agency would do this, but the ones with a budget dependent on fines and fees would be the one to tow and seize the car for going one mile per hour over the limit.[/quote] And this is why I still have a paper insurance card in my car. If I get pulled over in Pickle F...
[quote]Not so much for the political aspect, but what do you think about the state giving grants to cover private school tuition.[/quote] If there's one thing I've learned, it's that direct government subsidies to private industry always works out best for taxpayers and consumers and never turns ...
[quote]ROI? Like what? Louisiana roads? Affordable healthcare? Affordable groceries right now? fricking double the cost of homeowner’s insurance in the last year?

[quote]What is an event that occurred to you despite the odds being incredibly low?[/quote] Won an all-expenses paid trip from Nike and Dick's from filling out a little card in store and putting it in a drop box. :dunno: I always assumed those were just to gather contact info, but lo and behol...

[quote]the minor difference you seem to be overlooking is the fact that the segment of the population you are referring to aren’t illegal immigrants.[/quote] I'm not overlooking at all. Vast portions of the population read miles below grade level and suck down government assistance. I'm far more ...
