Charles Colton "Never go to excess, but let moderation be your guide" Cicero

Charles, I'm particularly interested in learning about construction cost estimating - I see you have a lot of experience in that area.

Charles I don't have much to share at this point but am looking forward to learning as much as I can and also to someday be able to contribute in a meaningful way to this site.

Like Charles said there is a lot of room and several angles to work so go get 'em.

Giving money to a political campaign is not a charity, and become an issue of buying influence at some point.And, IMO, giving on your number two and three is not giving back, nor is it a donation as it's clearly done in anticipation of a reward and actually against the law if a deduction is taken (I'll let Charles Perkins address that if he likes of sees this).That reminds me of a time I was in a car dealership buying a new car and there was a minsiter who was talking about a purchase as well.
