Default You never know what you'll find ...

Just sitting here browsing, I typed in the name of an old friend my age, who I've been out of touch with for years. I knew he was managing a local motel and restaurant, and wondered if he was still there or had perhaps retired.

Well, well, I found an article in a local paper that he had been fired about a year ago on allegations of kickbacks and cronyism! Guess I can forget about dropping in at their lounge and expecting to see him there.

You never know what you'll find when you check up on somebody.

mentally challenged to keep his duckies all in a row.

I'm sure his accomplishments were greater than yours, Hager. He owns a house, and others he rents out. He still owns a business along with a partner.. That was part of his conflict of interest. But at 65, I'm sure he's cashing in on his maxed out SS as well. No single wide for him!

Sewage can make good fertilizer. They've used it for centuries in Asia. You could grow some carrots back there!
