Haulover Beach Park is in Hollywood, FL. Just a tick north of Miami Beach. Once you cross the bridge at Bal Harbor you’re out of Miami and in Hollywood/Ft. Lauderdale. Residential development is limited around Haulover. So when it’s about 1pm or later the sun isn’t behind tall buildings which is the case south and…

AMF-YoYo. Adios MotherFucker, You’re on your own. 

This kind of test never works with cats. We tried a similar test with our two orange chowderheads. Let me tell you, dumb looks are still free.

The same thing as cats and toilet paper. They have to destroy it. 

A few years ago I applied for a position with an educational institution which, at least according to the description, was right up my alley. It was a promotion of sorts with more responsibility, more money and a chance to bring my skills and experience to help the organization grow.

Candlemas or Groundhog Day is the halfway point between the first day of winter and the first day of spring. Our trees never make it that long no matter what I do (and the cats will have destroyed all the low lying ornaments by then), so the tree goes on 1/6, but we do leave the lights up around the house until 2/2.

There is a real reason that it’s a federal holiday. In 1891, eleven Italians were lynched in New Orleans. It was the largest mass lynching in the American South. It took place the day after nine of the men had been acquitted in the trial of the murder of the New Orleans police chief David Hennessy.

True. If you need liquidity, then stick it in a savings account. Lately, the NYSE has gained about half of the loss from the last month of March. It may still rise but not as quickly. Just stay away from commodities. 

Painting is the easy part. Moving everything out of the room, taping all the corners and edges then running around the room with an edging brush takes hours. Rolling paint on a wall takes no time at all. Then after it’s dry - putting everything back is a big pain. But it does give us a chance to cull things that have…

Just a FYI - skip Airbnb in Philly. If you’re going to Philly, stay in a hotel. They’re usually cheaper, nicer and in a better neighborhood.

I don’t know of any high interest savings account. Everything is under 5%. Stick it in index funds. You’ll get 8-12% before 12/31/20. 

We painted the house. And we’re still at it. Ceilings too. It takes longer than you thing, especially when you start looking at different paint colors. I can’t tell you how many testers I bought from Benjamin Moore before we settled on a color. Then, we had to stick with that color pallet all the way through the house…

We have a budget line for entertainment and vacation in our discretionary budget. Most of which will not be utilized so we’re blowing it on outdoor furniture! Nice, swanky stuff, too! None of that cheap Ikea shit. We’re sitting in the backyard this summer instead of at the pool, at the beach or taking a cross country…

Same thing happened to me in Shanghai in 1998. 

In the Shadow of the Moon didn’t hold together. It could of been an off beat police procedural, but it fell apart when the wacky survivalists or whatever right wing fringe group was introduced as a plot point. It was mentioned as a throw away line when it could of been used as an intersecting plot point. It just came…

Rolling Stones - Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out.

Including “the” and “and”.

so true. HR hires you just to fire you at a later date.

About 6-8 IT staff. This was a while ago (early ‘90's), the organization rolled out Windows to everyone 2-3 years before and just switched over to NYNEX phone system. 

He’s just showboating to get accolades from his base. He can’t freeze funding, it’s already allocated. Congress holds the “purse strings.” It’s a diversion to get everyone to rage - either for or against his proposal. People need to see this for what it is and go “yeah, whatever.” and go on about their business.…
