We have tons of coyotes.  But we never see them.  Once we got the Great Pyrenees their howls never came close again.  I take some of their hair clippings and tie them up in a mesh bag .  And place several hundred yards away for scent.   It’s worked for years.  But let a siren come by and you can hear what sounds like hundreds of the things just over the ridge.

[Petethreeput]

We had a Pyrenees and we only heard them on the island behind the house.  When she was gone we would see them in the yard.  Now we have a Newfie and we don’t see the coyotes too often.  The foxes still run along the river bank to get to the hen houses at the neighboring farm.

 

Our zoning isn’t too great.  We have a lumber yard down the street with a lot of old logs that house skunks and I would think foxes as well bc they are always coming from that direction empty mouthed and then running back that way with a chicken 20 minutes later.

 

Its a great place to live though.

 

Edit: loved that stubborn pyrenees though. Would chase heron, throw beavers around when they would venture up the bank.  Wandered all over the neighborhood.  Barked like no one’s business.

As we both know those that run DNR in this state are not the sharpest knives in the box. I am not being negative on those officers on the front line either.

A few years back just up the road from me in Surfside Beach they had a big Coyote problem in the dog walk park. They had to get a DNR licensed trapper to trap and get them out. Now supposedly in the park where I live they have been spotted even though I have not seen one. Big Boy likes to go out around 5 AM in our yard to do his business. I am not taking any chances on 4 legged or 2 legged predators I make no bones about it I pack heat.

Supposedly they have been sighted at my course in backyards since they cleared the wooded area on #14 for more houses.

"Extraordinary greed," I think, is the key.   It seems like nobody is happy just making a fair profit.  The consumer has to be bent over and totally sodomized or somebody isn't doing their job.  99% is not enough for the 1% anymore.

I’m seeing exactly that with paint suppliers.  Only a few companies now control all the brands. They screw up quality in their quest to buy a name , then cut corners while selling under that name , to extract profit. Valspar  recently bought matrix.  Matrix was a single man’s brain child and made very high quality paint only ( no cheap line ) for years and years.  Ballard buys them and immediately changes all the basecoat ( color ) formulas. But keeps the names.  The paint instantly sucked. Price went up.  Yes. Up.  🆙 I wanted to scream.  Changing paint lines is like changing the country you live in.  20 years of product info , and education in the trash.  I’ve had to go searching for that quality.  And boy is it expensive. I just paid $790 for a gallon of color and it’s basically a dark metallic green.  
 

guess what the quote was on the job ?  Yep. The old line. $530.  Yay! I’ll make it up somewhere else. But that’s still profit gone.  And this seems to happen at least twice a year on something . 
 

At least I found something that looks good. But I’ll say. This is the last of my matrix clear coat stock. I don’t know what I’ll go to for clear .

Happening in raw materials too. The two big vendors I buy from now are owned by one P. E. firm. The mills are bought & consolidated too. This happens in Europe too.

 

One of the most celebrated investors in our culture, does nothing but buy great brands and basically ruins them with their spreadsheet autocracy. 

 

The local pharmacy was massacred by national chains, you now go there to get gouged for everything. They treat their pharmacy staff like crud too. The donut chain that everyone gets running with makes the worst donut on the planet. 

 

My daughter did door dashery, when you break down what is paid and what you spend on driving a car, it's a ripoff to the worker.

 

The only justice is you don't buy. Because the institutions that are supposed to watch out for this is owned & controlled by investor class. Because every pension relies on a return to keep pension liabilities afloat. There's confliction everywhere. People love seeing their 401K grow. People love having a package dropped off next day from world's largest superstore. But in the end, you are just feeding a beast that has no taming or boundaries. Honest have no idea how to "repair " these trends that have been going on for decades. I just watch who I hand my money to.

Wholeheartedly agree.  I try very hard to spend locally. But I swear to you. It’s becoming impossible.  I bought paint from the same man for 13 years. “ Harold “. If Harold’s paint supply.  He was probably born in 1940-45 ish.  Had one daughter. She married a guy who ended up being the manager of the paint store. Nice guy.  So when Harold retired he sells the store to his daughter and son in law , they run it for 3 more years.  Then all of the sudden a pei firm/brand shows up and buys them out.   They take the store from my town. Move it to a centralized location between me and Greenville , and reopen in a new building.  So now I have to drive 40 minutes in traffic.  To a store with a teenage girl running the counter. And try to explain to her what I want. I’m training her as I go.  I did this for 2 years.  And then that girl left and a teenage boy arrived. He was beyond training.  I eventually got fed up and went to a mom and pop that sold matrix in the other direction.  An hour ride.  Then the aforementioned buy out of matrix by valspar.  It’s never ending.  You’ll buy from the big box. And like it.  Except I hate it.  The service , pricing , and just whole vibe of learning from Harold’s store is something lll never forget.  And doubt  I’ll ever see again. You’d walk in.  Grab a coffee from the pot. Sit on a stool and wait your turn. While listening to the breeze being shot. You’d get your turn. Say once what you wanted. And watch him mix it. And put it all in a box , with free cups , strainers and stir sticks. Pay up , and be on your way. You’d be gone before the coffe cup was dry.  And you’d have a smile on your face when you left. 
 

now. I frown all day. Buy  my own coffee and have to drive half the morning just to do it. I guess I should be glad I witnessed some of the good old days. I’m sad that my son won’t see them.  He’s seriously conflicted about his future endeavors.  He wants to become a surgeon. But is deathly afraid of healthcare imploding via pei firms Or governmental takeover. Imagine going to school till you’re 26-27 or longer to make $50k.  There has to be a way to stop this wholesale investment. While keeping a free market.

that exchange infuriates me.  I don’t know why.  But it truly makes me want to not work for him or his type. he’s asserting that my work isn’t worth the price unless it’s also fast.  Blank fast.  I stopped attempting fast a long time ago. Now I am after less rework , and more perfection.  Takes some time.  I think I also irritated me because I have never ever acted that way when trying to get some one to  do work for me.  I had this same man pull his phone out and attempt to film me saying “ done by ( insert date “.   He doesn’t know how close he came go having to buy a phone.  In my book that’s the same as calling me a liar.  Be ready if you’re within reach. 🤣

I hear you.There's good to it , there's bad also and on some level it cannot be perfect but there needs a gravitational move towards a better place and I have yet to see that.

 

My daughter despises nursing in large part because how big health is managed these days. Very corporatist.Wanted to be nurse since five. Got there. Top of her class too. She hates how she is treated by management. My other one, has BS in neuroscience, wanted to go into research. She is now very turned off by the politics & grant money angle of it. I want to live in free place where billionaires happen, I just don't want their influence to go up a billion percent.

 

I have my own conflictions with life & work I do, do DoD work, not very happy with much what happened around the world, but my solace is my main competitor is NYSE listed and has a plant in India. So I'm fighting "the man" on legit competitive basis. If there was a world where aircraft carriers & bases aren't needed I would be happy to cut lawns. I love Costco, love eBay too. But yeah, the death of mom & pop enterprise is culture killer. Love the library of music I can download but it's destroyed the greatest artistic contribution our culture gave the world, and much of the rights to that is now owned by P.E. Change is driven by it's benefits but we too often ignore the shadow of destruction that comes with it and we brush aside the long term net yield of it all..

[bscinstnct]

The city certainly has its negatives but….

 

One benefit of living in a small hood in the city that is very descent but still relatively dense is that it can drive enough demand for

 

Small Mom & Pop stores to flourish if they sell quality/offer good craft and value

 

Small bake shops, there’s a little candy store that sells all your favorites from back in the day (Fun Dip 😃), jewelry shops, every type of cuisine, ice cream, antique stores, hardware etc etc 

 

You can reallly shop by just walking around the neighborhood and not have to go to huge supermarkets and Walmart. 
 

even got a little cheese shop. Nothing but cheese yo! 🤣

That paint store reminds me of the old Cherokee Auto Parts in Gaffney. Go up there and tell them what you need. Most of the time they did not have to look it up. Yep you could get a cup of coffee out of the urn or a free Pepsi. From what I learned they guy who owned it passed after I moved here. His kids had no interest. In fact a guy I know has his fab shop in there. Note I have a piece of history from that place. You remember the old Hi Tach lube demos with the gears? He had a couple that had been on the counter for 20 years or more. This was in like 98. I was in there and the rep brought in 2 new ones. I scarfed one of the old ones and have it to this day in the living room of the house. No telling how many people I knew and did not know played with that thing.

Another small time merchant story. Up in Surfside Beach we had a family owned Hardware store. IMHO a real hardware store. Had everything you needed and no Taiwan junk either. The owner named Tommy was the 2nd generation owner. When we had the golf shop we were messing around with some Bobby Grace tour issue putters. They used different Allen set screws for weight. Of course he had those. I went up there one day and was looking and wondering about weights. Tommy produced a gram scale and gave me some clear plastic bags and a marker to mark them. Now he did not know squat about golf but understood what I was doing. Yeah he did all of that for the less than $10 I spent total on the screws. He ended up selling the property because it was prime real estate. He told me he got offered more than he could net in 10 years running it as a store. Besides he had a huge family farm about 45 miles up the road and he could take care of his family farm hunt and fish.

Some people have no idea about fine craftsmanship. I have been in this week with some kind of bug so I have watched TV. I watch Motor Trend TV quite a bit. One guy had a VW the customer wanted restored. Actually it looked ok to my eye. When they media blasted it that VW had the smoothness of a bag of walnuts and full of Bondo. Of course they heated and reformed the panels the correct way.

You handle things better than I do that guy would have been going to the hospital to get the phone removed out of you know where

[Soloman1]

i typed something earlier about the misconceptions of anti-trust laws. i erased it.

 

the customer or consumer isn’t mentioned once in them. they were actually used to break unions. it’s only about eliminating a monopoly, so businesses can create a duopoly. greater opportunity to have a couple companies to rake you over the coals.

 

look at the kroger acquisition of albertsons. you control the food supply, you have a license to steal. and yet, the puke pablum lies about this being good for customers is being spread like manure.

 

realpage is destroying competition in real estate rentals. apartments and rental companies sign up to get “suggested” rental rates and aren’t allowed to rent under the suggested rate across an area. absolute price collusion.

 

they’ll leave places empty in the long game of forcing people into the higher rents because people will have no choice.

 

rents in phoenix have risen 76% in 6 years thanks to over 70% of companies signing up with them. they’re coming for your area to throw people in the street.

 

you get outside the small towns, and nyc is like a collection of small towns, every place in the country looks the same. same companies, same buildings, same strip centers, same chain stores for clothing and pet food and fast food and pharmacies, etc.

 

profits have skyrocketed, and ceo salaries have exploded to 350 x employee wages from a historical 30:1.

 

and taxpayers are subsidizing the companies since the employees earn so little, they’re on food stamps and medicaid and section 8 housing because they can’t earn enough to live, even with roommates.

 

but, wall street and private equity is killing it. 🙂

 

 

wait til i go on about the fed and banks. but, i can’t. i have to go play golf so i can forget about it for awhile.

 

forecast is for pars, with widely scattered birdies throughout the day.
