Leave the spades out of this.

The Mexicans around here raffle their vehicle off when they go back to Mexico. They tell me it's not unusual to get twice the worth.

Re: Random Thoughts

My buddy asked me to go to a Black Label Society concert in ATL in January, which also happened to be on my birthday, the 20th. I said nope, I don't think there is a band anywhere I'd drive to ATL to see.....and I really love live shows. Fawk ATL....no desire to go there at all for anything period. Lol

Re: Random Thoughts

Yep. DC traffic was the worst I've ever participated in. On the regular, Atlanta has the worst traffic in the Southeast.

I never had any problems in San Diego or LA, but always heard others complain. Houston was hit or miss too.

Best town for traffic that I ever lived in was Nashville followed up by Lincoln, NE.

we have a bunch of vendors from Nashville and they are saying the traffic is turning into Atlanta traffic at a quick pace. I haven't been to Nashville in a couple years but I don't remember it being terrible unless there was a wreck.

Re: Random Thoughts

How in the hell do I know when to use effect vs affect ? I feel like I run into this all the time. I usually just reword the sentence not using them at all. Damnit.

Re: Random Thoughts

I try to stay away from Knoxville up here. I will go out of my way to go the OTHER way to like Maryville / Sweetwater / Athens for things.

People / drivers are just terrible there. It's mostly the left lane hoggers and people that have no idea that it is acceptable to right on red when making a right turn. I've no joke gone AROUND someone taking up residence at a right turn with a redlight.....there were at least 15 cars behind me.

Re:

Affect vs effect.

When you affect (verb) something, it causes an effect (noun). This is how I remember it.
