I was. I pulled into Portland at about 11pm two weeks ago Monday, and left early the next morning for the new position in MA/NJ. Some of the guys drove up to see me for about a half an hour, and I saw Nate for a few minutes the next morning on my way out, but I didn’t really have any time to see people. Sorry I missed you!

Nice to hear that someone is enjoying Old Port. I was thinking about going there on vacaction this summer, but am not sure I am going to make it there with my work commitments. ;(

I hope all is well with you. “Stop by” the north country anytime!

Allison – just a fan of the movie, not promoting the character’s (George C Scott) confindence scemes.

And yes, absolutely. Public Universities are ground zero for the left’s indoctrination programs! Yipe, young minds wearing hearts on their sleves students are fine pickins for professors living inside the ivory tower utopias. Forturnately, over half the students there aren’t paying attention .

Makes sense. Every professor I have=evil left wing. (Would a public university be a part of a indoctrination program?) :) Where have I heard of Flim Flam before? I suppose I could ‘Google’, but I want to see if I can figure it out on my own. What did people do before Google? What a fine innovation!

The ‘putting the small guys out of business’ line is a ploy of the evil left wing indoctrination program. Don’t fall prey to their propaganda! The better pricing Wal-Mart is able to offer their shoppers allows the resulting excess capital to be used in innovation, investments and associated ventures on part of the ‘little guy’s’ life in what is supposed to be this land of free markets. This ‘creative destruction’ on the part of companies like Wal-Mart fuels our economy, allows for new ideas, products, jobs, etc. Supply side (ie: Innovation of new goods and services) is how we left the mercantilism and socialism the European experiment and became the economic powerhouse of the 20th century. Raising the standard of living for everyone and presenting a model for those bold enough to take risks. Risk = reward.

You can get your haircut at Wal-Mart?! I work for the salon industry and I had no idea. Every marketing class tells me to shun Wal-Mart (for putting the small guys out of business and high pressured price negotiations with manufacturers). If one were close by, I’d probably go, but alas there’s not.

I heart Jack Bauer. He’s kind of MacGyver-ish.. and if I remember correctly, Mac is one of your aspirations. I’m off to CTU (Collegiate Torture Unit- SDSU).

I concur. Just got my hair cut there this morning. I now look like an accountant – quite a paradigm shift from the Grizzly Addams thing I had going on for a while…

If it is trendy to hate Wal-Mart, I guess I’m not trendy!

Mega props to a great American success.
