On Friday, athlete, bow hunter and one, tough competitor in life, Cameron Hanes, will take on the Moab 240 mile Endurance Run, a 238.3 mile ultra through some of Utah's most challenging terrain.
Excited to see how he finishes because he simply puts in the work to prepare.
In life, that is nearly 90% of the battle.

Tuesday highlights from America...........
Whenever I think there's a slight chance of hope for this country in the political arena I am forced to remind myself of all the zoo animals that live off the public dole in every big city in America.
OVERRATED in Dallas Texas
I've been in Dallas for less than a year and haven't taken the time to cook at home very often.
We spend a substantial amount of time dining out. Often. Very often.
Last Saturday night we dined with friends at the Ritz Carleton at FEARINGS before heading over to listen to Mr. Tim McGraw and Ms. Faith Hill pretend to play their guitars and sing some songs.
Mr. Dean Fearing stopped by the table to check in. Nice guy with charm.
The food (and service) was less than stellar. Those two little chunks of buffalo I was served were not anywhere near worth the price tag. I have been eating buffalo since I was 12 years old. Where do they train these cooks?
Along with Ocean Prime and Water Grille it deserves to be mentioned to save you some of your hard earned money.
It will be a long time before we go back.
Friday night we had a disaster at Coal Vines around the corner as well. You would have to pay me to enter again. The white pizza was uneatable and how about being able to just order a single glass of wine? Are you kidding me? No wonder why we questioned there were so many empty tables on a Friday night in Uptown Dallas! At 63 and having lived on both coasts and raising sons I like to think I know an edible pizza from a non-edible.
Coal Vines. Never again. Yuck.

United States Congress
I met a fairy who said she would grant me one wish.
Immediately I said, "I want to live forever."
"Sorry," said the fairy, "I'm not allowed to grant eternal life."
"OK," I said, "Then, I want to die after Congress gets its head out of its ass!"
The fairy replied, "You crafty bastard."

Puerto Rico Debt
Puerto Rico's $74 billion of debt is less than 1 month of Fed monetization.
It's only 10.5% of what Paulson & Kashkari gave their pals!

Novel Law Enforcement Action
I've heard that Police Departments in many cities have replaced sirens with the National Anthem to force suspects to stop running and take a knee. WINK!

Calling bullshit on ex-con Milken..........
My legacy isn't any one asset class like junk bonds. It's the understanding of capital structure and how best to finance companies that create jobs and drive change.
Michael Milken
Financier and Philanthropist
Mike,
That is all good, it's called selective memory. I wish I could've gotten a handful of those side-pocket sweetheart deals via warrants in junk offerings myself. For the 10,000 proud flag-waving employees of Drexel Burnham Lambert it's a different story about your legacy.

What is the score?
Here is the score boys and girls and for those of you in Marty, Mandaree and Manderson.
67 Trillion US Total Debt
4 Trillion Fed Balance Sheet
107 Trillion US Unfunded Debt
242 Trillion US Banks Derivatives
That sums to 420 Trillion in Debt that will not stop compounding.
Outdoor Concerts and Life in America
If the outdoor music scene is your thing you might want to heed this advice. It looks like the kooks are ramping things to a new level. Sick twisted demented scum bags for sure.
Prepare. Buy a tourniquet, a real one that has a windlass and know how to apply it. It may save your life and is probably much more useful than a sidearm once the shooters open up.
And while you are shopping throw in a clotting sponge for good measure!
God Bless this great country.
