Ralph Klein - Popular city TV anchor, then Mayor of Calgary, then Premier of Alberta. He was a tough SOB fiscally, and cut budgets by a hard 5%. He said NO to a lot of pet projects. A lot of people hated it, but he paid off all of Alberta's debt - making us the envy of many other provinces. He changed legislation to outlaw deficits. The idiot premier we have now rewrote the law about 6 months ago so he could now give us an $8 Billion deficit. Dumb dumb dumb.

OK, so I just realized that there is actually a dude in Mammoth who fits this description perfectly with the following exceptions: cammo cargo shorts instead of dolphin shorts (thank God); long grey hair; a helmet instead of a headband; skateboard instead of roller blades. He is known as the "Silver Surfer" around town. Does not appear during the winter time. *Apparently* has some cognitive misgivings.

You know what I wish these things had - do you remember on the 4 wheel rollerskates of the 70's (that you would wear in the skating rink with the disco ball and you at some point and time end up doing the limbo and there's always that one freak of a girl that can get under the 2 inches of space between the bar and the floor?). Anyway....those skates had the stoppers in the front - the stopper on these skates I have now are in the back. THAT'S JUST NOT RIGHT!! Mainly because I haven't figured out how to stop with them yet...I keep wanting to drag my toes and then realize...THE STOPPERS ON THE FREEKIN' BACK!

Oh, after a billion dollars we find out nobody checked the interior height to see if the game could actually be played inside it? that sounds really smart. So let's just change the game instead and not let them kick so high anymore. AMAZING!

Yup, FLW houses leak like a sieve. Fixing them to make them leakproof involves changing the architecture such that it's no longer pure FLW, but it's dry so that's prolly better.

"1948- Hib Johnson, the President of Johnson Wax had just moved into a home designed for him by the legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Called Wingspread, it was considered the culmination of Wrights prairie style. But there was a problem. Johnson called Frank Lloyd Wright to complain that the roof was leaking rainwater onto his Thanksgiving dinner! The water was leaking right on Hib's head as he sat at the head of the table. He refused to budge, had the phone cord stretched so he could make the call, and spoke to Wright with the drops splashing off his bald tome. What was Wright’s response? " So move the table..."

Buying treasury securities is one of the ways the Fed has of putting more money into the system, but that can be done with money they already have on hand.
