The only acquisition I can think of a decently operated company purchased by a much larger company that resulted in a positive outcome was Garmin's acquisition of the Delorme GPS satellite transceiver company. I've had units from both Delorme and Garmin, and the product line (and customer...

While our home was spared (by a very narrow margin) I've now learned a few things about the ability of full replacement value homeowners' insurance carriers to convert a policy to Actual Cash Value should the affected homeowner elect to NOT rebuild the same home on the same property. The...

To make matters even worse in the suburban neighborhoods that are adjacent to wildlands in Spokane is how a big wildfire triggers copycat pyromania. Spokane was now had quite a few arsonists starting fires after the recent disaster. I believe most of them have been arrested. I suspect it's a...

But the rest of it's spot-on? 😃

I spit out my coffee thinking about a 80-90 year old cougar/crypt-keeper.

"Dennis, there's some lovely filth down here!"

Pop Quiz... What food makes a woman uninterested in sex? Wedding cake!

It's important to note that Traver's Main Amendment should be utilized judiciously...but I think we can all agree that it's warranted in a case of this magnitude.

So your jar of beans has been empty for a long time? TMI 🤣

'Late stage capitalism'? I think they're just gettin' rollin'.

Protip; Always bring up "I remember when a candy bar cost a nickel" when some old fart starts bitching about cost. Substituting "I remember when gas was $0.25 a gallon" also really works well right now! Old farts conveniently forget that a large annual income was once $10k. And...
