There is only one boss: the customer. And he can fire everybody in the company, from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.
SAM WALTON
You might fire someone at Walmart. You have to find them first.
Good luck with that.

Good morning everyboomie.
Hump day again? I hope your ears don't pop from the pressure change.
I had a fantastic day at the sod farm. I found hundreds of earth worms trying to hide from the gophers, thousands of fire ants without uncles, and a whole lot of heartache and disappointment.
I'm thinking I need to wait for a real good rain before I go back out there.
I'm doubting if I'll do that, but I need to just the same.
I have really nasty cramps in my hands now. That's not bad, you should see the shovel.
I didn't drink any water all day because I didn't get thirsty.
I'd drink it all now, except I'd be going all night, and that would cramp my sleeping.
Have a happy day everyone.
