Ian.. let me know if you want the excel file again. Also, I'm in.

A little karma... George and Jeter's houses (both in Tampa a block from eachother) both sustained damage from trees that were uprooted, and flooding in George's backyard due to a water main break and small sinkhole.

Never Ending Story

Oh hell... with my truck driver mouth.. I'd probably make his virgin ears bleed within 5 seconds. I just like to look.

Save your parents the financial suicide.. find a cheaper school.

That's OK. We got some butts for them.

After the begining of the week.. I welcome the "slowness" of today. I got a lot done. The work sure does pile up when you're out of the office unexpected for 3 days..

Oh.. one more thing kiddo's... it's tomorrow, not tomarrow.

Ahh... good old 204. Stuck up a$$holes!

Us too... the office has been busy with laughter and goofing off since about 2. I don't know why they don't let people go.. they don't get any work done.

Yikes...! Another one of me..?? Lord help the world.

Is that near Neuqua Valley..?

Definitely, too, eh..?

I think it's safer to assume Yoss is correct. FWIW, the story I heard was that the 5th year was heavily incentive driven. I can't disagree with this though. 4 years of guaranteed $$ (which the Sox initially agreed on only 3 years and "gave in" to a 5th year making the 4th year guaranteed). I think that's pretty damn good for a player of Magg's calibur.

My grama, aunt, & uncle left melbourne this morning.. just got off the phone with my sister who is busy boarding up their house.. not going to be a fun few days down there. They are telling them they could be without power for 2 weeks, and possibility of 15 inches of rain.

Jim knows his role.

Ahhhh Jason... California is not but a 4 hour plane ride...

2 in 127 row 25 and 2 next to the BP. PM me if interested.

No.. I was here for that fun. And thank you for the thoughts. Death is always a tough thing. It was extremely rough for Jim due to some past issues, but all is well, and the healing begins.

Holy cow... 1000+ posts in 4 days .. what the heck did I miss around here..?

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS...r.ap/index.html VIENNA, Austria (AP) -- Austrian historians are ridiculing California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for telling the Republican National Convention that he saw Soviet tanks in his homeland as a child and left a "Socialist" country when he moved away in 1968. Recalling that the Soviets once occupied part of Austria in the aftermath of World War II, Schwarzenegger told the convention on Tuesday: "I saw tanks in the streets. I saw communism with my own eyes." No way, historians say, challenging Schwarzenegger's knowledge of postwar history -- if not his enduring popularity among Austrians who admire him for rising from a penniless immigrant to the highest official in America's most populous state. "It's a fact -- as a child he could not have seen a Soviet tank in Styria," the southeastern province where Schwarzenegger was born and raised, historian Stefan Karner told the Vienna newspaper Kurier. Schwarzenegger, now a naturalized U.S. citizen, was born on July 30, 1947, when Styria and the neighboring province of Carinthia belonged to the British zone. At the time, postwar Austria was occupied by the four wartime allies, which also included the United States, the Soviet Union and France. The Soviets already had left Styria in July 1945, less than three months after the end of the war, Karner noted. ***** "Let me tell you this: As a boy, I lived for many years across the street from where the Russians were based in Vienna -- and honestly, I never saw a Russian tank there," retiree Franz Nitsch said Friday. "He said it all on purpose -- and that's bad." In his convention address, Schwarzenegger also said: "As a kid, I saw the Socialist country that Austria became after the Soviets left" in 1955 and Austria regained its independence. But Martin Polaschek, a law history scholar and vice rector of Graz University, told Kurier that Austria was governed by coalition governments, including the conservative People's Party and the Social Democratic Party. Between 1945 and 1970, all the nation's chancellors were conservatives -- not Socialists. What's more, when Schwarzenegger left in 1968, Austria was run by a conservative government headed by People's Party Chancellor Josef Klaus, a staunch Roman Catholic and a sharp critic of both the Socialists as well as the Communists ruling in countries across the Iron Curtain."
