Souf Carolina at OU SECN
Just flipped to this game; looks like OUsux sucks at football. Of course they would do that today, as they are good at sucking cocks

Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
My favorite left behind story is the PAC 12, where they will play 1 conference game this year. Of teams I root for don't win the Natty this year then I'm pulling for the best chaos which to me means OSU/WSU winner ( I know a lot has to happen, but let me live my own fantasy)

2024 Hurricane Season thread of DOOM
No, you missed the in the trees part. That indicates the level of violence dodged out by the storm and/or how big the storm surge is into areas of significant population. It's a nuance thing

The Practice of Law
good try - now send us $250 for creation of a client file and your first 1/2 hour consultation; and be glad there isn't a $7,500 retainer involved here.

2024 PGA Tour
They really can't, because it is a pro-am, and it would be 6+ hour round of half the field had to play in open conditions, plus weather plays a big part there.

I think it would be awesome to plan a weekend outing playing the Dunhill Cup courses, and drink some scotch.

Financial moves to make before 12/31
Sit down and let me tell you a story. I had a plan, had a could of people look at it, and with minor tweaks it was all good. I've hit level 1 max for almost 20 year, and that is making sure to get max employer match, there was a period of 10 years I hit the 401k max, then about 5 years ago I took a job that offered more life balance and that was great, but I didn't max the 401k. But I've always invested fairly aggressively, S&P 500, a couple of growth funds, little in bonds...and that has done well. The plan was that I would continue to do contact consulting until 70, because a) it maxes or SS, 2) I really like most of the clients I've worked for. Mrs Fairway was going to with to 65, and get Medicare, draw her SS until I started to draw at which point she'd get an increase to 50% of mine. And we be set, even if we made it to 100. The Mrs Fairway gets a cancer diagnosis (see the cancer thread), and she may be done working, I've shifted my contracts to someone else. And although we are "comfortable", there are a couple of financial unknowns, that can wait until we know where she is with the big C. The moral is, didn't wait until later to start investing, pay your future self first because you may not get the choice about when you do contributing or when you will need to pull money out. Good luck, let time be your friend in inventing, and only speculate with a small % of portfolio.

The Veep Debate - Walz v. Vance, 9pm EST Tuesday, Oct 1st
I happen to be staying with, MAGA/Fox watching, relatives. And I swear they must be watching a different debate. "Vance is the only one answering questions" I think that trump could shoot someone on Westheimer, outside the Galleria, and they would still vote for him.
