When you wear your PJ's to the DMV. . . .

at 11 am on a Wednesday, I think it is safe to say you have pretty much given up.  Make's Costanza sweatpants look like a tuxedo.

I have seen PJ's at the courthouse before, but not paired with a robe. Fantastic.

(Sorry for the bit of picture breakup, I was on the move.) 

What the hell is the matter with people?

Left court in Christian County this morning and  had to run out the the old home stead  to pick up some Thanksgiving equipment from the Krabman's mom's house.

She had not one, not two, but three trespassers out hunting on her property including this asshole.

They weren't even together.  The first two hillbilly's were out deer hunting.  Mr. Flexfuel was apparently hunting quail.  Safety first.  The hillbilly's at least had the good sense to park down the road (and lie about having permission), but this jackass parks right in the middle of the field and stays hidden. 

 I used to hunt a lot and I lived by two rules my old man taught me, 1. Act like every gun is loaded and 2.  Stay the fuck off other people's property if you don't have permission.

This isn't over.

(Cmac and Mertz this message does not apply to you.)  

This could be you Jim

Look out

This is not a new problem.  I was dealing with these clowns three years ago.  This may be the least of their problems.

This article is fascinating on so many levels. The baptist minister, the fact that they thought these were simple transactions, the fact they admit to using client funds to pay their expenses.  

Don't ever buy or sell a house on a contract for deed. Ever.  

If you choose to ignore this advice and buy under this method, at least make sure the deed is escrowed with Hogan.

Here's to all the Veterans

Veteran's Day always make me think of my three favorite veterans: my grandfather, Uncle Bill and old neighbor Gordon Mayfield.  

Grandpa was an Army Master Sergeant who fought in Italy  and saw Rome fall.

I'm not a real rah rah guy, but bar none the proudest I have ever been in my life was seeing the stars and stripes draped on his casket.  The lady from his church played O Sole Mio on the piano

He wasn't Italian, his time in Italy meant that much to him.

Uncle Bill was a submariner in the Pacific. His stories of 

life on a sub used to fascinate me and give me nightmares.

Gordon Mayfield won a couple of bronze stars in France 

and came ashore at Omaha Beach on D-Day. Getting stories from him was like pulling teeth. You would have never known he was a bona fide war hero.

And heres to one I don't know: Frank Buckles. Now that is an interesting life.

This looks like something from The Onion, but alas it is not.

Maybe the Fed is treating this guy like George Costanza, whatever he says do the opposite.

 

 By the way New York Fed, in addition to the SEC is responsible for overseeing Wall Street.

    Nov. 3 (Bloomberg) -- The Federal Reserve Bank of New York
hired Michael Alix, the former chief risk officer of Bear
Stearns Cos., into a group that supervises banks to maintain
their safety.
     Alix was chief risk officer of Bear Stearns from 2006 until
2008, when the bank was forced to sell itself to JPMorgan Chase
& Co. to avoid bankruptcy. He was global head of credit risk
management from 1996 to 2006 and worked previously at Merrill
Lynch & Co.
     Alix will be a senior adviser to William Rutledge,
executive vice president of the bank supervision group,
according to a statement on the New York Fed's Web site. Staff
in the group ``assess the safety and soundness of domestic
banking institutions,'' according to the Web site.
     New York Fed spokesman Andrew Williams declined to comment
on the hire.

The government shouldn't have hired this guy to deliver mail.  Did anyone check his references?

You know there was a time in America where a loser of this magnitude would have had the common courtesy to jump off a bridge or stage a "hunting accident" to avoid shaming his family.  No longer.  He will be overseeing your 700 Billion.  

Don't be an jackass

A wise man said "If you haven't voted yet, vote! If you don't, never complain about any aspect of the outcome."  

I don't care how long the line is.   Some people have no chance to vote or worry about someone blowing up the polling center or trying to shoot them on the way to vote. I was drinking coffee while waiting in line at 6:00 am.  Its not a chore, its a privilege.

29 and Single

Off the chain too.  

Took the new mint green and tan whip out on a little spin to Sac for a couple of luke warm laps.  So far so good.  

The belt is pretty cool.  No stretch or give like on the road SS with the chain (obsolete technology).  Dead silent too.

 I chased a deer that kept stopping and looking back at me wondering what was going on.  I was waiting for Cmac to skewer it.

Special thanks to Patrick at A & B for making things happen.  Good call Skip. Spot on as usual.
