Campbell is 8 wins away from tying him (and already has more conference wins). Thanks for starting me down this internet rabbit-hole…- Pat

Shorting a Stock - Casey's (CASY)
The problem with shorting is that it’s a game of timing the market, and it’s probably a safer bet to play blackjack. I agree that Casey’s current strategy is good for short(er) term share prices, but is probably not sustainable. Investing in a competitor positioned for long-term growth/success... -

BP Gas/World Liquor on Duff Ave
You know, money laundering is probably the most sensible explanation for what’s happened to that location over the last few years. -

Cytown Update
It’s been almost 5 years since ESPN shuttered the Zone business, so I guess the VC ownership decided this would be a good way to extract even more cash as they pillage the brand.- Pat

To paraphrase Ron White, I wasn’t having sex in public, I was having sex in a private restroom. He opened the door - arrest him! -

And that suit will get settled before it gets to discovery, I suspect, based on what we’ve seen so far. -

Has anyone purchased a new vehicle lately, the prices are off the wall.
EVs are starting to pile up, and not without reason. It’s moved from silly to absurd, but, especially if financing, used car prices have been really high, compared to new, for at least the last decade. I blame Dave Ramsey. I mean, not really, but demand seems to have largely stripped the... -

Line coach
Interesting, as always, to hear Bruns’ take on it today. A lot to digest about the heavy formations, adjustments to make for individuals, etc. He also said (almost an exact quote): “We’re only three games in, but this group is clearly better coached than last year.” He was very down on what he... -

That’s Council Bluffs, so it may have something to do with the glut of casinos there. -

What’s going at Casey’s?
My (admittedly uninformed) opinion: Casey’s has also grown like mad, but via acquisition, and the investment to purchase other stores has come at the expense of the existing ones. The gas station that we always hit on the way out of Schaumburg, IL was a Casey’s last time we were there, which... -

Colonoscopies save lives!
Yeah, wasn’t trying to be argumentative (I’ll save that for basketball season!), just trying to help with informed decisions. There’s a lot of advertising $ behind the home tests, but they aren’t without risk. -

Colonoscopies save lives!
Not a doctor, but spend a lot of time working on this… area. The home tests are better than nothing, but the colonoscopy is the standard for a reason. Absent family history, if you’re 45 or older, get it done. Absolutely worth the (minimal) hassle and inconvenience. -

In fact, if West O had invested a bunch to meet demand, with a release timed for the start of tailgating season, I think they would be in a world of hurt in 6-9 months. I can’t imagine demand will ever be higher than it is right now. -
