Also, when it was made with cane sugar, not corn syrup to keep the Iowa Voters happy...

They just started selling this at my local grocery store... Oh hot damn how I missed this from when I was living in Texas. You knew you were in the 'right' dump of a taco restaurant when this was on the menu. Bought first bottle a couple of weeks ago and that first sip was like a time machine!

Guessing your not an accountant, but ESG is actually being required to be reported on by large public companies. Companies will have to include it in their 8k/10Qs going forward so KPMG and other Big 4 firms are just marketing compliance in the same way they marketed audit. If you want someone to be mad at, get pissed at the SEC that requires these reports with little to no guidelines or standards that allow large public companies to manipulate their earnings reports to hide true ESG figures under myriads of rabbit chasing figures

Definitely not an accountant...

But thanks for the explanation. So ESG is being forced on companies... by the government. Which is picking 'social' issues that companies have to fund... is that about it? Ah... how is that Constitutional?

Forgive me but I thought ESG was being pushed by investors and fruitbats who were using pension funds and large foundations' investments, etc. as leverage to force corporate compliance with retardation... not profit making. I had no idea that it was done by our own government. My apologies to accountants everywhere.

Just wait.

My just turned 11 yr old daughter is dry firing off a tripod using the neighbors outdoor cats as targets. 🤣🤣🤣

And we watched a cooking show last night, and gonna make homemade raviolis today because of that.

We have our moments with all the pre-teen angst and hormones and most is awesome.
At 5’ even and 115 lbs, womens size 8 shoe, I do miss those little tyke moments at times. Mostly after “dad, can I sit on your lap” and she crushed my legs. 🤣

Quanah Parker was the last Chief of the Commanches and never lost a battle to the white man. His tribe roamed over the area where Pampas stands. He was never captured by the Army, but decided to surrender and lead his tribe into the white man's culture, only when he saw that there was no alternative.
His was the last tribe in the Staked Plains to come into the reservation system.
Quanah, meaning "fragrant," was born about 1850, son of Comanche Chief Peta Nocona and Cynthia Ann Parker, a white girl taken captive during the 1836 raid on Parker's Fort, Texas. Cynthia Ann Parker was recaptured, along with her daughter, during an 1860 raid on the Pease River in northwest Texas. She had spent 24 years among the Comanche, however, and thus never readjusted to living with the whites again.
She died in Anderson County, Texas, in 1864 shortly after the death of her daughter, Prairie Flower. Ironically, Cynthia Ann's son would adjust remarkably well to living among the white men. But first he would lead a bloody war against them.
Quanah and the Quahada Comanche, of whom his father, Peta Nocona had been chief, refused to accept the provisions of the 1867 Treaty of Medicine Lodge, which confined the southern Plains Indians to a reservation, promising to clothe the Indians and turn them into farmers in imitation of the white settlers.
Knowing of past lies and deceptive treaties of the "White man", Quanah decided to remain on the warpath, raiding in Texas and Mexico and out maneuvering Army Colonel Ronald S. Mackenzie and others. He was almost killed during the attack on buffalo hunters at Adobe Walls in the Texas Panhandle in 1874. The U.S. Army was relentless in its Red River campaign of 1874-75. Quanah's allies, the Quahada were weary and starving.
Mackenzie sent Jacob J. Sturm, a physician and post interpreter, to solicit the Quahada's surrender. Sturm found Quanah, whom he called "a young man of much influence with his people," and pleaded his case. Quanah rode to a mesa, where he saw a wolf come toward him, howl and trot away to the northeast. Overhead, an eagle "glided lazily and then whipped his wings in the direction of Fort Sill," in the words of Jacob Sturm. This was a sign, Quanah thought, and on June 2, 1875, he and his band surrendered at Fort Sill in present-day Oklahoma.

Actually that would be Ranald S McKinzie. not Ronald. I grew up in the area he operated in and there is a lake between Lamesa and Seminole, TX named for him. It's a large salt lake and seems kind of an insult to him IMO. He was a very promising office that came to a strange and rather bitter end. Parker's birthplace is reputed to be Cedar Lake not too far north of McKinzie lake but there is disagreement about it.
