What river? My friends and I did that for years. Rafted many of the biggest/best whitewater in the country.

Arkansas River (Royal Gorge).

Over promise and under deliver!

If cannot get the top line, it’s time to cut costs to move the bottom line.

Who is GWU’s primary target student and do they have this kind of money?

I know the answer to this question.

Yes, they do.

This term has been tested on TD before. My subjective assessment is that most posters see it as a function of supply/demand (of which I agree...with some extreme exceptions).

Given the oil market disruption by the Iran conflict and rising fuel prices that has negative personal economic impact,

1. What are your thoughts on "price gouging" -- function of supply/demand or exploitive/unethical?

2. Has your view changed as a result of this real-time experience?

Price gouging is a pejorative term for the practice of increasing the prices of goods, services, or commodities to a level much higher than is considered reasonable or fair by some. This commonly applies to price increases of basic necessities after natural disasters. Usually, this event occurs after a demand or supply shock. The term can also be used to refer to profits obtained by practices inconsistent with a competitive free market, or to windfall profits. In some jurisdictions of the United States during civil emergencies, price gouging is a specific crime. Price gouging is considered by some to be exploitative and unethical and by others to be a simple result of supply and demand.

Whitewater rafting incident in Rocky Mtns Huffing & puffing paddling through several back to back wild rapids, to then get swallowed by last one and caught under boat disoriented.

Right up to that point of ‘breathe now’ while under water.

Made top 10 carnage list on that river that year.

Two different times?

How much savings value do you get for the $60?

Arizona to Ole Miss?

I’m guessing from Chandler, AZ where Daddy is state senator and Mommy gets more facial injections than Arizona has cactuses.

In context of life is short (like really is…don’t know your age but think of fuel gauge…you got half left? More/less whatever).

Of all the things to spend precious life on, this ain’t it for me.

Yet, I’m here posting about it. I’m a hypocrite. Therefore, out.

And they charge for public toilets, too?

Had a ‘no coin’ experience in Germany that would have fit in a slightly different OP title.

Long walk for exercise in my neighborhood that, thankfully, was still mostly under construction, including fair share of unpaved areas.

Well, nature said “now”!

Just as I barely could get out of sight. One squat in grassy area later, and my pale complexion, cold sweats were replaced with proper blood flow and lightness that I made extra lap.

Also had close call in Bangalore, India. Never drank the water but did eat lukewarm warm something or other…before having to drive 20-miles away. If you know Bangalore is the worst traffic in the world, you know the cold sweats and pale complexion was back. That drive was almost 2 hours long.

Thankfully, early signs gave me the signal to hit the Pepto Bismal before the drive. The pink liquid saved that van from being christened by other liquid.
