Riding around town with Matthew was like drinking from a fire hydrant.

Ride the stock up 3-5x in the next 6-12 months, then pull it out and catch the REI again.

I suspect the contractor is taking you on a long expensive ride.

Everyone knew them and that was a good thing.Favelas have a different sense of community, justice, security, ride-sharing, etc.

I know it's going to effect a lot more people financially than it will physically.If you can't control something, then just decide to ride it out and SURVIVE it (financially and physically).And along those same lines I think I will change my focus off of this PITA uncontrollable thing and watch a good (guy) movie (The Longest Day, staring John Wayne and others): https://www.youtube.com/watch?

It's like riding a bike- maybe over the last few years you've been able to do some pretty sweet 360s off the ramp in your driveway- maybe for the foreseeable future, we all focus on just not falling off. 

Set the expectation up front with guests on how you can be reached and for what reasons to save yourself headaches down the road.Most importantly enjoy the ride!

So for me the takeaway is as long as your margin is comfortably high, the Smoky's can ride out any storm.

I myself work for the utilities and I ride around this neighborhood a lot and I see that the 5 points district and medical district are having a lot of renovations going on and prices on houses are drastically going up.

Chicago has a lot riding on our primary and they are determined to get it done.
