Did you know that you spontaneousness combust when you start your 298th consecutive game in the NFL? Way to play it safe, Brett.
I never really understood what people meant when they say we are living in the new economy. Now I'm reading Jim Collins book Good to Great and let's look at his sample of Great Companies. Circuit City - bankrupt. Fannie Mae - blown up. Gillete - bought up. Wells Fargo - bailed out. If your not careful it could be over in a blink. That's a new reality.
SamYou know the feeling. You're driving down the road, the snow is blowing, its dark, its cold. You can clearly see the snowflakes in your headlights and beneath the glow of the street lamps. You notice the wreaths tucked under each light as you pass each intersection. Each with a red bow bent in the wind. You drive down the hill and view the steady glow of the city off in the distance, it's hazy, and that song comes on the radio. The crunchy footsteps on the walk to the house. The blanketed quietness that only comes from a snowfall hushing the neighborhood. This is why I live in the Midwest. And why I could never live in San Diego.
The first skyscraper in New York was built with Indiana limestone. When the building was modernized in the 1950's they took back the pieces and placed them as ruins.
