Rain X

Without fail every time I wash my car it rains, and I've been pretty forgetful to put rain x on my windshields. I never remember until it rains....which is after I wash the car.

So the last car wash I did, I remembered to use Rain X.  And of course it rained, but this time I was not as annoyed, because I didn't have to use my wipers. 

Moral: It's all about the small things in life.

Intelligent Quote

"At the moment it is far better to be a financial cripple with a government guarantee than a Gibraltar without one." -- Warren Buffett

AIG is really drilling this thought down to the core, with their decision to use $165 million of bailout money for bonuses and compensation. The successful businesses are not even pushing out $165 million in bonuses. The thought is just absurd.

I suppose that now that AIG is calling the money "retention payments" it makes it all better.

If I had a chance I'd ask Edward Liddy, CEO and Chairman of AIG if we called the Civil War the War of Northern Aggression, would that change the outcome?

Netflix

I really love Netflix. So many choices, quick delivery. The largest online movie rental company definitely deserves the title. 

If you've never tried it, I think you should.
