Not just you. Walking through the Houston airport this morning and lots wearing the purple and gold today. ...

[quote]bigberg2000[/quote] 100% agree. Harvey should have been a reminder that it’s the rain/water more than the wind that’s the issue. I now worry more about the potential to stall than the wind. The eye of Ike passed over in 2007. No power for a couple of weeks was a PITA. But, not still ...

[quote]Fridges float..[/quote] Had 3-4 feet of water after Harvey. Fridges do float but they also lose power and tip. Clearing out fridge and pantry a biohazard. Everything floats after 2 feet of water including pianos that you can’t budge an inch normally. You’ll also find your bedroom fur...

Paper towels even better. They don’t tear up in beard/stubble....

I’d be good with a 5% coupon. Since likely holding to maturity, not necessarily interested in muni ETFs (primarily goal is capital preservation). Looks like Schwab has access to something like 40,000-50,000 munis including new issues. Just never bought nor know anyone who has....

Possible to get 5% return without taking on too much risk?...

Had negative experience with them recently. Bought tickets to concert and had significantly obstructed view. I’ve bought lots of tickets for lots of events and always look for obstructed view issues. These guys never mentioned in any way. Was pissed the whole show. Won’t use them aga...

Taking a step back, a couple of BIG differences between Napa and Sonoma. As someone previously posted, Sonoma much more laid back for a variety of reasons including wineries are more spread out. So, you’ll be doing more driving/riding. Also, Sonoma has a central town square with nice restauran...

Agree on mood leaving stadium being oddly quiet. Alabama was worse in 1985. Unfortunately for me, those were my first two LSU games. Literally 0-0-2....

What cake? Only noticed the rack ...

No...Texas, K State, and Pitt all suck. Stupid premise. ...

Amtrak from NYC to Boston, NYC to Philly, Chicago to Milwaukee, etc all fantastic. By far best mode of transportation. South of DC and it’s a different experience. ...

Was there. Fight the only thing that made going out later that night in Tally tolerable. Game was miserable. ...

Pulled/strained groin during baseball game. Applied icy hot. Too close to sack. Like fire and couldn’t get it off. ...

[quote]I’ve known quite a few brits. Salt of the earth fellows with grit in their teeth and spit in their eye.[/quote] Many Brits remain this way. However, combination of liberals and increasing number of immigrants resulted in their voices being outnumbered. Ask any London taxi driver, any la...

Big difference between these “guys” and the Green Bay cheerleaders (wife had on Good Morning America this morning so heard the deal). These guys are not going to be “stunting” like men college cheerleaders and the Green Bay dudes. These guys are going to be full fledged dance squad and such. Sam...

I've owned 5 of those 6...so, not qualified to comment on Lexus. But, in order: 1. Audi - most fun car in this class to drive right now...S6 (and wife driving SQ5)...both are a blast; 2. BMW - had 550...fast, comfortable, but boring...was great in a straight line; 3. MB - had E500...very wel...

Keep going back and forth. ...

Instead of Canada's buyout, etc. Nvm the recruiting. :banghead:...

Finance...as in investment banking. Sure you could go to medical school or law school and be in school forever with a ton of debt, but, an MBA from a top flight business school will have you crack $200k/yr within 3 yrs. ...
