The spiral bound version while sitting in your favorite chair and smoking a pipe?

It's my ritual as well.

Lowes has veterans parking alongside the handicap spots. Now I see a combat wounded veteran spot. A cheesy move on part of the business property.

Do I have to have a placard with a veterans logo on it to park in one?

I don't know. my lowes has hundred empty parking spots typically. So special parking isnt special. I don't see it at the Target where we shop, the parking situation is a cluster Tte handicap spots appear worse than regular spots IMO, Since where they are located - they see a lot of traffic -exiting that spot looks like a hassle

Are you a vet Cards? Am wondering what sort of vet appreciation resonates ?

Yes I was in the Army. And the fact that they have those spots means nothing to me...I doubt I would ever park in one unless it was the only spot available. I typically park on the far side of the lot at most places anyway so I don't have to squeeze between two SUV tanks being driven by soccer moms.

So when all the Presidents gather and greet each other at a funeral is it like that scene in Spies Like Us, but instead of "doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor" it's "Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President, Mr. President"?

I made the Playoffs in my Fantasy Football league - this is my pay league so I can actually win some $..

My opponent had Derrick Henry and his 60.56 points last night.....on the bench.

A friend of mine used to take a lot of craft services gigs and worked on Up in the Air. One day George Clooney was going through the line or however it works and my buddy said "doctor" to which he replied "doctor" and they went back and forth for a solid minute until Clooney finally said "aaaaaaaaaaaannd doctor" and went on his way.
