ELP is a Brazilian Hydroelectric firm in Paranas state with solid earnings, dividends, and P/E ratio, not El Paso Energy.

The energy stock I have now made a nice rise only to be downgraded and I'd be selling at a loss if I got rid of it now. I will keep this on teh watch list.

Love it. Once the builders finish the deck we could support a party of 20-25 people. Only problem is no one knows when they plan on finishing it.

Party on, Wayne. Party on, Gabe. :D

I should have bolted with the dudes bag.

You should keep a spray bottle of coyote urine handy for just such occasions (under 100ml, of course, and you can find it powdered at hardware stores). If he ever goes through Immigration/Customs with that bag, rover will probably ensure that he gets the rubber glove treatment.

Update: the elite line wouldn't connect me, so I had to call OPSC back - but someone picked up right away. ^ Got the points transferred, but the woman said it would take 10 business days. sbm12, I hope she's wrong and they will do a batch transfer on Sunday as you said, because the travel date's a week from tomorrow and otherwise we're looking at some really :eek::rolleyes::td: prices. I REALLY don't want to burn a domestic award on a 200 mile flight.

(This is what happens when you become known as the "travel expert" in your family - everyone's booking issues tend to fall at your feet, i.e. "please figure out how to get both your sisters from different destinations to converge on the same place with minimal notice"...)

Fresno. The armpit of California.

If Fresno is the armpit, Barstow is a festering pustule on the butt of California.

I have a feeling that the stock is still overpriced. It has doubled in the past year, and looks to be on a steady decline right now (many Brazilian stocks are in the midst of a "correction"). If it sinks down a few more $$$ in price, I may make a grab.

We left around 7 and probably walked by Mulligans around 7:10. That place has some really good cajun food.

I never thought I'd say this, but Hoboken how I've missed you. I've not seen my apartment since Feb. 21. Despite what I normally say, it'll be nice to be home for a few days.

You would have to beat me to the easy Mitch Hedberg reference. That's what I get for going to BW3 for lunch.

My favorite local noon radio show has a segment on Thursdays called Stories From The Dong of America. It's all absolutely insane stories from different areas in Florida.
