Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Red&White

It's like Amtrak does that on purpose. When my wife went through the Appalachians it was at night also.

I should be more clear. Hawk needs to move over and do more color, a PBP guy wil free him up to entertain.

Did you go through the mountains during the day or at night? When a buddy of mine took that trip it was all nighttime travel through the Rockies.

Yet some will vote for Kerry. Does this scare the hell out of anyone else? :headshake I could not see voting for someone who I didn't think was honest and trustworthy.

Sunday another poll comes in dead heat. CNNGallopetc.etc, poll

Hawk needs a solid PBP man, someone low key that will just set the table for the master.

My lovely bride took Amtrak from Chicago to Florida one year for Spring Break. She hated it. Are you comparing a sleeper berth or upgraded accomodations to airfare, or will you be riding the regular coaches? Be prepared for many stops, etc. It is kind of fun for the people you will meet. She said they went through all the areas she wanted to see at night and scummy cities during the day. That of course may be different. Bring some good books, earplugs, snacks, and have fun. It will be an adventure.

I guess getting all my Bears news and opinion from here isn't all that good.

Not enough kids swimming in it Hmm, that water sure is warm all of a sudden

Is that Bush in your avatar?

I'm not convinced that anything will happen. Political analysts have argued back and forth if a terrorist event will help the Bush or Kerry campaigns. Bush because we always rally around the President in times of war or strife. Kerry because we may think Bush's administration and policies have left us less safe. So if you are so inclined to influence the election in that way what do you do?

I am almost always pulling for the AL team, but this year, it will be hard to not pull for the Astros or Cards.

Bears. But it will be close.

That is one of the most misspelled words. I believe part of the problem is every May, Hallmark and others spell it that way on purpose for school graduations. Kind of how lite came into being.

The Yankee anouncing team was the best I listened to this year. I've even learned to enjoy Milo Hamilton once the whole Cubs nightmare voice thing went away. Of course Hawk is always #1

That is only partially true. They have the widest range of services available for rebuilding a country and supporting the military. However a consortium could have been put together with 3 or 4 companies and completed the task. For whatever reason we made speed a key issue and wrote a bid that only Halliburton could win. Remember the lottery terminal fiasco in Illinoi 15 years ago or so? Bally Gaming (IL) Gen Data, and one other had the capability and expertise in the area. Then Gov. Thompson had the specs written so that only Bally would be able to offer a competitive bid. The state was sued and I believe it was Data General who won. Bally used it as an excuse to move to Nevada where people liked them.

Halliburton is a worldwide player in the energy business. As such they are doing business with some not so ethical individuals in some not so ethical countries, and dealing with ethical norms that seem wrong by US standards. I am not so quick to condem the organization. Disclosure: They formerly were a very nice customer/client of mine.

Congrats on 1,000 posts. Winodj

Every once in a while I use a dial up connection and stop complaining that RoadRunner crippled the speed from the beginning. They placed artificial restrictions on the connection speed so we wouldn't notice the slow down when the pipe filled.

I would love to find out how many attorneys it takes to have a Presidential debate? That plsu hair stylist, image guys and gals, political analists, etc. etc, etc.
