Re: Flint mi

Ok typhoon, I won't belabor the point, just go ahead and believe all the things wall street says and you will eventually see my point of being skeptical. More adequately put by the late president Reagan when asked about trusting the Russians, he said to trust but verify. Hopefully you will verify in...

Re: Flint mi

As for stocks, while you have pointed out the high profile examples of some things on Wall Street gone wrong, truth be told that is the exception rather than the rule. Stock prices are still a very good way to judge a company's heath. I hope you don't seriously believe this. Because if you do, you a...

Re: Flint mi

I would be very leery of judging performance by the stock performance. Often in the recent past we have seen that stock performance is more often the result of public relations and advertising. Think Bank and Insurance stocks in 2008, tech stocks in 2000, Enron, Madoff et al. I read the same articl...

Re: Woman at Fostoria...

Too bad she just isn't lonely and calling out for help or attention... Faulty logic, my friend, faulty logic. If you knew her, you'd see what everyone here is talking about. And if you're offended by the post, you're not obligated to look at it... Whoa, hold on there. Who's offended by anything? No...

Protecting of sources

Everyone likes the feeling of being in the know, of having inside info. With it comes responsibilty of protecting sources. From the mid 80s until his death 2003 I enjoyed the friendship of a man who was a retired bomber pilot for SAC. Because of my life long interest in the B-52 and knowledge of it,...

Re: Woman at Fostoria...

As I have read this thread I have yet to figure out if she is malicious or just an eccentric old woman who is obnoxious as hell, or maybe just a very lonely person who has figured out that railfans are really nice as a group and takes advantage of their niceness to fill her loneliness. With very lon...

Re: When Is 765 Leaving Owosso To Go Home?

Darn, and I thought it would blasphemos to admit I enjoyed spending a few hours watching boats in the St. Clair River. My brother who has no interest in watching anything other than females, took a picture that has some historical value to it. In Sept of 75 he was on his vacation and snapped a pic o...

Re: When Is 765 Leaving Owosso To Go Home?

Recently I have detected a certain arrogance among "some" of those in the know, who like to keep us peons who are not in the "know" in the dark. I guess being "in the loop" is very important to some egos. So important that they can not or will not share any of their "know",since it might diminish t...

I guess it goes to illustrate that if you collect this stuff it would probably be very prudent to keep receipts and records of how it is gotten.
