You're right. Topeka.


I was thinking Wichita... since I donated some of my pieces to the PBS station there to be auctioned off for fundraising.

I don't.

He's too familiar with the area and who would admit they had been there if they hadn't?

I hate Jayhawks and Kansas in general with a passion, but I did get to see BTO at Sandstone amphitheater in Bonner Springs so it does have some redeeming value.

Best concert ever next to Foghat at Starlight, in the rain.

Well, that, or your entire act here is total bullshit.

Ahhh, the good old Sandstone amp... my shop has a back entrance to the VIP area at the Sandstone... just over the creek into the parking lot.


I have free entrance into the show's from there (know all the peeps)... and the best show I saw there was Aerosmith around 10 plus years ago.


Great venue.

This is a family owned company on about the 4th generation. They do their best to take care of their people, but the bottom line always comes first.

As for my old and now again boss, he's the first person since the company was founded in 1955 to not be a member of that family and hold the job title of VP. Good for him I guess. I couldn't do those hours or handle that amount of stress. I have enough as is.

Myself, I'm hourly and every minute over 40 is time and a half. I've learned over the years that a salary employee is most likely to get the ax before an hourly one.
You are one of the least ambitious guys to ever punch a clock, and that's coming from a jizz-mopper. I should have stuck to making $10/hour because the guys who make more are the first to get the axe, right?

I'm surprised you're not getting piled on for punching a clock, though for the record, I don't have a problem with that.

Wags is just salt of the earth. Nothing wrong with that. Some people don't need a lot to be happy and comfortable.

Whitey's career game plan seems to be summed up in Obama's 2008 campaign slogan: Hope...ing he doesn't get fired.

And I'd believe he's from Kansas before I believed he was from a city by a bay.

What's not amazing if you double posting this same stupid response one hour after the first time. Truly and epic level 'tard blast. Why, let's just check the meter and see how Tools just did...

Epic.

Oh, by the by Milton, for those outside of Arizona, here's a grand view of the vistas of Apache Junction where your buddy makes all his coin.

Yes, it does.

I was laid off after ten years with a Fortune 50 corporation in Socal but I was well prepared and now we're doing quite well in Omaha. We're making more money nominally than we did in California and the cost of living is much lower. Enjoy your weather...or whatever it is you fags do to convince yourself that it's actually worth it to live in a tard managed train wreck.

It's supposed to rain here tonight. You remember rain, don't you?
Rack it... I've been to Cali many times albeit leisurely or due to obligations. What a shit-hole, over-priced pace of life. Nebraskan longevity is no secret. What a great way to enjoy life.

I'm happy to see that you've visited our state many times and had the opportunity to experience all that it has to offer.

The negative opinion that you and similar fly-over losers come away with is the best advertising we can get.
Don't forget not to move here. I'll try my hardest to miss Nebraska on my next trip to the East Coast.

Is it way more expensive in Cali? Yes. Are we in a severe drought? Yes. Are we taxed up the ass yearly? Yes.

Do we have mild weather and sunshine and scenic beach, mountains, and desert at our beacon call almost 365 days a year? Yes. It's why we stay here.
