Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes? Had enough? He is now 82 years old and has a new book. Here are some excerpts: 'Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the heck is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody mu...

Oddly enough, I have paid attention at our corporate meetings.

The long and short of it is that it's bad.... going to get worse... and I'm more concerned about the value of a dollar than I am about the cost of oil... :roll: The declining dollar is a major reason that the price of oil is skyrocketing. Personally, I feel that gas in the $4-$5/gallon range is the...

What Do You Think About During Corporate Meetings?

Today, like many days, I found myself in yet another meeting at work that, to put it mildly, was less than productive. If I hear about some issue requiring "traction" one more time I swear I'll take somebody down for good........ I'm happy that at age 55 I shouldn't have to endure this dri...

Re: Dow Down 400 - Oils hits $139 - Why?

Well, the Dow is down because of the dollar dropping and unemployment numbers. But it seems oils is up because an Israel Cabinet minister says they will attack Iran over its Nuclear Program. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080606/ap_on_re_mi_ea/israel_iran_2 Now we need a good ole hurricane in the Gul...

Re: Atlanta Show

Its funny in a way, but we did the same routine, did some yard work, tuned in RM for the show, made cocktails and listened to the entire show sitting on our patio through the evening. We felt it was one of the best sets we've heard from the Coral Reefers in a long time. We really enjoyed Jake and R...

About the Atlanta Show......

After a long day at the office, then some much needed yard work, I settled in my favorite chair, fixed a Dark 'n Stormy drink, and tuned into the Atlanta concert on RM..... Was it just because I was tired or did a number of the songs last night just sound........different? I'm not talking about the ...
