I would think a newer engine with less miles would add value to the vehicle but maybe I'm wrong

Sometimes. Sometimes not.

The Kia replacements for what was probably the oil burn issue have been very hit or miss and may not transfer to the new owner. Neighbor across the street has had two replacements. The dealership fricked the first one up. I know because I had to tow her from down the street.

The second one wouldn't hold a battery charge as I jumped that one off several times. She eventually got rid of it.

Its how they fund their relevancy.

We are funding our own destruction.

Calcasieu Parish pays 10.75%

5% to the state, but the other 5.75% goes to the parish. You wouldn't know it by coming here. Also, they make a ton from the casino revenue. CP should be infinitely nicer than it is.

You think thats insane. Check out the CPSB website and download last years budget and run it through Grok and start asking questions.

The general line item expenditures are crazy. Evidently you have to request from them a more itemized list. Its hilarious.

Rice should close.up football and increase baseball.

They'd likely be more competitive and be able to fill a stadium down there if they play good baseball with the student numbers.

That Spirit of Christmas by Ray Charles

If its all good and amicable take the offer.

Ive laid in a hospital in Houston while the wife and my not even 1 year old daughter were at home. Her first Christmas i didn't know if I was going to live. Had to kiss my wife and daughter goodbye forever as they packed me up and sent me to Houston. Daughter was too sick to travel.

That was 15 years ago.

Go see your kids. Try to have a good time.

Merry Christmas all.

Second problem was there was a diversity, equity, inclusion ideology in the West that said that society is binary and 30% of the non-white population is a perpetual victim of these victimizers.
There’s no proof needed that the 70% victimizers have done anything.

Which is horseshite.

For the first 1600-1800 years or so after the birth of Jesus you had much of the modern world as we know dominated off and on by the muhamadins as they were called.

Once the colonial age began with what some would pin Napoleon going into Egypt and kicking their arse then you began a lot of Westernization.

Before then much of the Western world really had a lot of influence from the ME and Islam.

Of course there was the HRE/Byzantine in there but it wasn't as if they ruled the world.

GK certainly wasn't white and he was a machine rolling through the East and then turning his sights headed west and marauding and wiping people off the map.

Western civilization emerges and became what it is today but it wasn't like others didn't have shot at shaping the world. It just wasn't as a sustainable model due to a lot of growth simply from taking what others had and not really developing things themselves.

Moors
Ottomans
GK
Persians
Etc

None of them white colonizers...

think Taysom would be better next year. He was coming off an ACL tear - give him another offseason to recover and I think he regains his explosiveness.

He's a freak so normal rules dont apply to him.

Id say let's see what he has and go from there.

I shop at a local Platos Closet.

We've all gotten stuff from there. A Columbia LSU hat for $5 with tags on it. Several Polo long sleeve for church. Multiple pairs of shoes as my boys grow so darn fast.

Excellent store
