It is not a good feeling when you are in a boat that is sinking.

About 15 years ago I was in Canada on a fly in fishing trip deep in the Northwoods.  I was alone in a 15 foot cedar strip boat with a 15 hp motor.

Saw a huge storm coming in and like a dumb ass, thought I could make it across the main large deep part of the lake and back to camp for dinner.

I didn’t even come close and the rain was so hard that boat filled up with water so fast I couldn’t even believe it.

I had the wherewithal to pull the plug which saved me as I made it to a small island about the size of two school buses in the middle of the lake and wrote out the storm.

Finding my way back in the fog and dark was no fun either but I did. Spaghetti never tasted so good.

One of the things my dad did was shrimping around the Galveston area

He had a 25 ft boat

I used to go out with him and be his deck hand

anyway one of the things he taught me was if you see a storm coming head in immediately 

I cant tell you how well his advice served us on many occasion

another thing he used to say is that the sea is not your friend and be very respectful of it

cause it will kick you in the butt every chance it gets

I have a buddy like that. He’s always done ok for himself (or it seems he has) but he’s always dabbled in 5 or 6 different things at one time.

Same here,the dude highly intelligent was a jet mechanic in the USAF.Gets out,Aces a Fireman's test but theywouldn't take him because of a bad disc in his back.Turns around and aces a linemans test and was hired with the power company.In 5 yrs he's a crew chief,however came down off of a pole when one of his cleats broke.Buildt half of his house - by code naturally before getting hurtAny way got hurt couldn't do that but has been rebuilding cars and working on rental properties ever since and doing very well.One of the sharpest cats I know

Scandal of the day

Eh.

That's the kind of thing that falls in the "it's probably true, there's probably TONS of that on both sides, and somehow he was stupid enough to get caught" kind of territory.

Full disclosure: I didn't read the article because it was behind the paywall. 

I started thinking about it and just in the last 20 years this guy has at different times (and many times overlapping):

-Managed 2 different restaurants
-Owned a restaurant
-Owned a little used car dealership 
-Owned a little paper where people  advertise things they want to buy and sell
-Worked in Management for a chain of local convenience stores
-Driven a truck for an oil and gas company
-Been a substitute teacher 
-Reffed HS basketball games 

Contrast that to someone like me who has worked for two companies in the last 20 years, and only one at a time.

Eh.

Who knows, but it is definitely criminal, for which he was rewarded by a post running the post office, where he doesn't know how much postage costs.

Hush, Sam!  The swamp is being drained!

Glad I extracted my refund for my AA flights to Northern Michigan for my annual golf trip with the buds. 

Don’t choose to see Marxist “ flare” lol.
