Was a little surprised this morning that both Stevie and Foote took the team to task over their performance this past weekend. Both called it a BAD series loss—Foote compared them to a “hacker” golfer—can’t get all phases of their game to work at the same time—said they just can’t get out of their own way!! Waiting for Topham and Jay—thinking it’ll be fullscale damage control....
I'm questioning someone's statement, you don't like it step out!Quote:

I’m not getting into that risk/reward a hundred million or being torn apart.
Besides not believing in 500 year odds. The risk of losing everything instead of losing a few hundred. I went with the low cost no risk. That’s the only way I can explain it. On the other hand I never ever buy extended warranty because the reward/risk don’t matter much, I’m very likely to win the risk vs the cost of rewards.
His house is in a FEMA flood zone. It got flooded like thousands of others the same day.Quote:

That is actually a good point. The old maps left his house out. So many people got screwed by those maps.Quote:

Right now a home 1 ft. above base flood, which is minimum to be outside the 100 yr. flood plain, can show up the same as a home 5 ft. above base flood elevation. Want to take a guess who has an exponentially higher risk?Quote:
