From what I hear, he was a friendly, unassuming, nice guy. He was extremely friendly to everyone during a Christmas party for his company he shook hands with everyone when they entered and talked to everyone he didn’t care what your job was, he had lunch in the company cafeteria. He had a private museum which we were lucky enough to see and he gave us a personal tour, his museum included videos of Saturday night live making fun of him . Not your every day billionaire. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if Mark Cuban is as friendly. I worked in the Legacy Corporate Corridor minutes from Perot's EDS in Plano from 2008 until 2012 . Driving to work was wonderful. Took 10 minutes with traffic. 8 if I hit every green light. LOL. Loved seeing the horses, longhorns, grazing right next to those corporate campuses. I think those corporations received an agriculture tax break or something. Mine had a duck pond filled with beautiful colored fish in back of the complex surrounded by a walking trail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to your always great photos when you return. Santorini, Mykonos,Corfu,Crete, Athens,katakolon for Olympia are all lovely places with a slow pace of life which I'm sure you will love. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted May 14, 2021 #16282 Share Posted May 14, 2021 It is currently 46°F and cloudy. We have nothing planned today so hopefully a quiet day at home. I hope Dani is okay and safe this morning as things seem to be out of control in Israel by what I saw on UK news this morning. Take care and stay safe Dani and everyone else on here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is our neighbour in the photo, but I typically listen to our local rock radio station. I also hit CBC (think PBS) for hourly news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is in the round bubble tanks and the row of hoppers on the back? This is a double row planter. When you plant corn it only uses the rear boxes, and when you plant beans you use the front and rear boxes. Big tanks are used for fertilizer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tree_skier Posted May 14, 2021 #16288 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Continuing prayer for @dani negreanu and all of Israel. Back on another flight. This time I’m heading to Seattle. Except for the masks everything else seems just like pre pandemic travel. Packed flight and no social distancing anywhere. Im looking forward to when everything is as it was. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spoke to my sister in law in Israel yesterday. She, her husband, 3 married children and 8 grandchildren live in the town one of Dani's sons lives in. My sister in law and BIL share a shelter with 10 other neighbors and have each other's support. They're calling it war but are in good spirits which serves them well. Wishing Dani and all of Israel a true Shabbat Shalom, a peaceful Sabbath. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleak. DS1 and us had a siren-free night. DS2 had one. DDIL was just in the shower when the siren sounded, she rushed out, went skittering along the floor, nothing broken. 2 other elderly people -- not so lucky, hit the head and died. Another one had a massive heart attack, again, while trying to reach shelter. The siren's sound is so very stressful.... We're glued to TV, since we can see immediately if an alarm is sounded. In the picture taken just now from our TV, you can see on the right side, in orange, the list of places (12) under attack, and in the background the reporter who took refuge in the nearest shelter. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a close friend with daughter and family there, talked with her a couple days ago but she just keep saying they are in a safer neighborhood...hope she is right about that, it all looks dangerous to me.

Omg what is happening is horrible. I am so happy to see you post. I was really getting worried when I didnt see you post earlier. I cannot imagine the sound of those sirens and the panic. Thank god your DDIL didnt hurt herself. Definitely not the time to go to a hospital. This must be mentally and physically exhausting. Stay strong. You and your family are in our prayers. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
