Young people.
Nowadays, I feel a sense of accomplishment if I can get my underwear on one leg at a time without losing my balance.
We always called it pop not soda.
I think it had more fizz back in the day.
Man, I sure miss that red dye #5.
Really good advice: Put your socks on first. Doing that makes sure your toes don't get caught up in the leg or waist elastic.
Thank you,
Mr Smith
Another day another walk around Atown.

Tight house…noticed the windows are floated glass…
This little house is on the bank of Mill Brook, which in its heyday was where all the mills were. Guessing it was a small manufactury at one time.

ESG as a concept is independent, pushed by consumers and companies that pander to them. "ESG reporting" currently has very few standards, so companies do various things (custom tagging etc) to manipulate how their data is reported to consumers so they can appear good, but really make it difficult to research and see if they are honest. Bc of this, the SEC has released more rules about how and when ESG has to be reported and they are currently phasing in mandatory reporting for the largest companies with more of the mid size and small public companies to follow. Consumers "pick" the garbage that matters, but companies that want to make money bend the current rules to appear pure when they are actually quite dirty.
Yes the fruit bats are pushing the agenda, but companies know that those same idiots are not doing the research themselves and don't have the budget to pay someone else to do it so they quite often get screwed by the same companies that claim to be ESG friendly.
So good
So thirsty
Have laughed many times when my wife has gotten frustrated at the boat ramp and backed dudes boats in for them…
All these fancy bacon grease containers being posted. Growing up in the 70's-80's Mom used a plastic drink cup with a piece of plastic wrap and rubber band...we were poors.
A good analogy for ESG reporting manipulation is this:
Everyone has a a set of ink pens. Some are red, some blue, and some black. Consumers care about how many red pens each company has and each company wants to show a small number. All companies must upload their number into the same data repository.
Now one of the ways companies make it harder to find out how much they actually have is through "custom tags". Currently, the SEC allows companies to choose their own custom tags for categories that don't exist or for categories that make more sense custom. So instead of "4 red" they would say they have "4crimson". Both are true, but if you are using a standardized process to try and search for "red pens", crimson would not come up in the search. This is how the largest companies act. They create and report the actual numbers to the govt bc they would face steep penalties if they didn't. They use the "crimson, magenta, ruby etc" custom tags to manipulate how the data appears in a search so that if John Doe searches he doesn't find any red or if he does it is a reduced number. On the opposite side of the spectrum, large investment firms like Blackrock, Vanguard etc hire out The Big 4 and others to do the deep dive and manually find all the different "shades of red" that are truly being reported. This is a large portion of the "data analytics" that these accounting firms do that are becoming a main income stream to balance tax and audit work.
Hope this gives some more clarity
We were poor and hungry.
We didn’t save the bacon grease.
We fight over that last biscuit with table knives and used it to sop it up.

Cotton Pickers... is that what they cook their ribs and cornbread in?
Going to Hell for that one, too!
Sirhr
Yep, you just filled another square on your
“ I am going to hell bingo card.”
We still use a mason jar with lid for ours. It defenitely makes food taste better using that instead of vegetable oil.
You had also mentioned the audit that SVB received. Audits for all intents and purposes are only useful for investors and creditors. The average person receives little to no info from these. The layman also doesn't realize that audits to not promise anything about the future. A "clean" audit only states that in all material (significant) circumstances, the numbers for past activity are reported accurately. This gives no detail about the future.
Going concern is the only metric that auditors formally use to describe the future promise of continuing profitable business. Going concern is usually forecasted using current metrics though so it has little to no use again for the layman or many others. Using SVB as an example, 2 months ago they got a clean audit. This means that their numbers up to that period were reasonably accurate. They did not have a "going concern" issue 2 months ago. This is probably due to the fact that the interest rates were more stable 2 months ago and they could have never known that the fed would increase them, neither did SVB. According to the auditor, the company should have continued to exist into the future using the current market activity, but the audit report does not extend or cover activity that changes dramatically. This is why lots of people will get mad at the auditors but nothing will ever happen to them bc in all legality they did nothing wrong as they had fulfilled their responsibility to report, not to forecast with perfect accuracy.
Grew up on a farm/ranch, and Mom had about a 1 acre garden; we were poor, but never went hungry. There were quite a few late night butchering in the kitchen sessions when I was a little tyke, apparently venison was a main part of our diet at that time...weird.
That shit was awful.
Did you see the 'pothole'; IT WAS FK"N HUGE, you could fit a yugo in it.
Same with us we never really went truly hungry.
Complain we were hungry but in truth we weren’t.
3/4 ton is not big enough? MRAP needed?
The Downing's were kin to my great aunt.
I was thinking the same thing. I would have no issue with that trailer in my 3/4 ton, but the trailer taking a major lick from another vehicle or a pothole at interstate speeds could certainly be a challenge.
I didn’t even have to open the attachment I knew what you were talking about.
My mom poured it back in the Crisco container it came out of.
Do you have "the rest of the story"?
Those two boys I hope enjoyed a good time.
That square is a shit show for those with no balls.
It's a 5 way intersection. 4 have stop signs, 1 doesn't.
I know the enemy your kin faced were perhaps Japanese but when I'm on that road with no stop sign, I am doing my best Banzai Pilot impression.
Nothing fucks up that 5 way more than when the guy with the no stop sign right of way stops and signals for others to go and all four go at once absolutely hating the dipshit that was supposed to go.
I'm guessing they get some laughs.

Our Saturday night family movie.
First time the boys have watched "Wizard of Oz". They'll be 3 next month.

Have you ever watched a roundabout in Appalachia?
Your mom cooked bacon in Crisco? Or the Crisco container was used for bacon grease? Mmmm, bacon.
It is our nature to be kind and to let others do their thing.
It is time to stand up and declare evil to be evil.
It is our duty.
