buddy of mine was a Chicago guy for 40 years. They moved to Denver 3 or 4 years ago, and they absolutely love it. However, he's returning to Chicago this week, because the grandkids have never been to Wrigley, and he cannot allow that to go on any longer.

I'd say the studio would get $1000 /mo unfurnished.

Yes. I do a furnished rental, and I advertise on furnishedfinders.com I've been doing it for 2 years. I've had 2 travel nurses, one from B.C. and one from San Antonio, and I had an apprentice in the IBEW that was sent to apprentice for a local company here. I'm vacant right now, and have been since June. I'm selective on my tenants. This studio is attached to my home, so I'm not interested in anybody without a job, works from home, etc. I want somebody that will be away from here for 40 hours a week. I've heard that the rates are down for travel nurses, and I'm certainly seeing fewer of them seeking housing. My studio is 400 sf with a private entrance, private driveway, and a nice patio. I get $2,000/mo.

Kamala will cut a bitch.

fuck man, a battery is "routine maintenance" on a gas engine car. The fancier the car, the shorter the life span. I'm changing them every 4 years in my truck, and every 2 in the Mercedes.

WTF? Lot of chatter on Reddit that linemen that are working to repair the Texas grid are being harassed and in some cases abused by locals.

this asshole thinks cops are "highly trained".

got an email from my broker today. Two separate "veteran" agents in my office fell for the scam, and took vacant land listings from a scammer, not the owner. Fortunately, it was discovered before any money changed hands.

1.5 will get you a nice townhouse in an area like Bird Rock.

Easy for me. It's THE GODFATHER OF SOUL

The job sounds like a beating. A few years back, there was a piece in Vanity Fair, IIRC. So, the Obamas bought a home in D.C., and Jared and Ivanka moved in down the block. Well, the Obamas are nice and decent people, and Jared and Ivanka are shitheads. Obama's house had a really big garage, which he didn't need, so, at his own expense, he built a "lounge" for his secret service detail. A kitchen/break room, and a bathroom with a shower. Meanwhile, Ivanka and Jared, being fucking cunts, didn't allow their SS detail inside of their home. So, the J/I detail went down the block to the Obama house, everytime they needed a cup of coffee or to take a dump. Well, one of the J/I guys absolutely wrecked the shitter in the Obama garage one day, and left a big mess. The Obama SS lead said "fuck y'all, don't ever come back here ever" and the two details almost came to blows. What kind of job doesn't allow you a nearby bathroom, and what kind of horrible person doesn't give their bodyguard access to a bathroom?

Bend's pretty fucking methy. At least it was a few years back. My elderly aunt and one of my cousins live there. The cousin has several kids. She's (the cousin) divorced. Her husband had, at last count (and I shit you not) 6 drunk driving convictions. The last one he did 3 or 4 years in state prison. Nice guy, but I suspect he's got a drinking problem. I'm not real close to those folks, so I don't visit often. True story; I visited this family when they lived in La Pine OR, which is about 30 minutes away. My grandmother was in hospice, and we got word that the end was near. My dad drove up, and called me and said "if you want to see her, you better come tomorrow". I caught a flight, and I got there hours before she passed. Anyway, she had already planned her funeral and made all the arrangements, so I decided to stick around for the service. There isn't dick to do there, so I was bored stiff. I decided to go to town to get a haircut. My dad says yeah, that's a good idea, I'll get one too. So we find this small shop with one female barber working. She asks if I'm from around there. I say no, San Diego. Now, I'm used to people telling me "oh yeah..my husband was in San Diego when he was in the navy" or "oh, we went to Sea World on vacation" or whatever. This woman says to me...while cutting my hair "I've been to San Diego. Too many fags there".

If that were the case, I'd have posted on the shart thread. I'm all about full disclosure

Vernon's sounds like a nice place to be on a Saturday. I wish it were closer to me. When I did that London Beatles tour, the guide said that they played 6 hours a night in Hamburg, 6 nights a week. This went on for months. But yeah, 4 hours is quite impressive, particularly for a bar band. That sounds like a blast. What kind of requests do you get? Is it shit like CCR, or modern country, or what?

all the bullshit that's happened today has inspired me to unplug from the internet, and go downstairs and play the Gibson.

He's no Rex Kramer. That guy needs a spit cup

to add to my post upthread

was showing houses today, not close to my own home. Had a breakfast burrito mishap, and had to run in TJ Maxx to buy a new shirt (they were the next freeway exit after the mishap). I'm buying a 20 dollar shirt, using my Visa. Cashier is trying to convince me that I really need to open a TJ Maxx credit card, because I'll save 10% on today's purchase...of a 20 dollar shirt.
