    Best Purchases You've Ever Made

    I bought one of these in college and used the hell out of it and kept after Ifinished. Handy as hell when you are cooking for one. I got my money out of it considering I probably paid $5. My pre build a gigant grille for customers days.

    Confuse people for the fun of it. Pick a unit of measure most people have no idea. Just to see if people are paying attention I tell them it's X rods or Varas. I could say chains but it's actually still used in some professions. My property survery was done in varas orignally.

    I have a Dolmar chain saw which at one time was Sachs Dolmar. But now they've been bought out by someone else. It's an arborist saw which has a magnesium engine block making it a little lighter but same saw basically. I bought it mainly cause the closest saw shop sold a lot of them. Then they...

    Geology, Earthquakes and Volcanos

    My useless info on how much power comes out of one. The '64 earthquake in Anchorage AK was huge, a 9.2 but when it hit it knocked boats off the Dow Chemical dock on the MS river halfway between Baton Rouge and New Orleans,. I know that's a massive quake but that's a long way away.

    They could havd been walking around outside before it started., it didn't go back that far. But all of them got to where they could put their hands on the ground and keep them there.

    That looks pretty bad. I remember there was a big earthquake in Central America or South America and they were digging out people who were still alive for quite a while. That was decades ago. May have been Mexico, been a long time but seems like they were getting people out weeks later.

    I'm of the non scientific opinion the area you were born in won't bother your weather wise as much as stuff does in other parts of the country. I am from where it's hot and very humid and the humidity doesn't bother me at all. When I used to go to Phoenix for work the heat didn't bother me at...

    I noticed in the videos of the earthquake in the Philippines a while back all those people ran outside immediately and squated down and touched the ground. I guess they were used to it. They weren't running around screaming and little chance of falling over.

    Remember in town to drive the TX way. 35 years ago TxDOT had an ad campaign that it didn't matter how fast someone was going your job was to move into the slow lane and let them pass even if they are going way over the limit. You are not a cop. I miss those ads on TV and billboards. Just...

    When you get to SA imagine driving from Phoenix to SA in a Uhaul truck. The president of the company I worked for in SA weas in Phoenixc at their office there during 9/11 and the only vehicle he could get back was a Uhaul. Just think, SA is not even quite half way across TX going east to west...

    Hence "kick the can". Anyone who would talk honeslty about the shape we are in and the pitfalls ahead would never get anywhere to the point they could actually take any steps at all.

    I keep reading that there is a goal of 2% inflation and the biggest impact is fed policy, but nothing on what the plan might be going forward, other than I assume up interest rates in the future.
