College is an impressive goal. We’ve said high school and are in the extreme minority in our school/peer group. It was tough for a little while in the beginning middle school when most of their friends got them but they’ve accepted and are perfectly normal and happy children.

you can find outstanding ski areas where the skiing is just as good and spend less money than the US.

Any specific recommendations? We've skied Colorado the last 4 years with 3 kids and would love a change of scenery/price. Thanks

We are right at 20% of net cash flow($ into checking net of all savings) and it stresses me the frick out. I miss the days before kids where it was closer to 8-10%. Damn kids, lol

I’ve hunted all over N America and have been to some super sketchy looking bars. Never had a single issue and most everyone people has been friendly and/or curious about Louisiana.

I took the cone off my lab when she was around me and I could give her a NO if she started licking.

But they will lick the shite out of the scar if you leave them alone.

Its amazing Lake Charles remains so shitty with how much money has been spent in a very small radius around the city. I know, hurricanes, but its still pretty wild.

I have had the dive bomb trudge boots for 4 months and have no complaints.

Went through two pairs of xtratufs that cracked where they flex on the top.

Tried Grundens but they were too thick/hot.

They do this with every major project.

They mostly lose, but their tactic is to delay and hopefully push or cancel FID.

They were semi successful with some LNG projects under Biden.

Guess it depends on the city. Lafayette rec up to about 11-12 is as strong as it’s ever been. Now the travel ball dads/commissioners are easy to pick out but most of us normal folk just laugh at them.
