Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

I hear you. Bike lanes alone won't fix decades of poor urban design...It takes a systemic approach and often politicians would rather take 'the easy approach' to add more lanes (ergo causing induced demand) than fix things via complex methods that require long time which don't reap immediate re-election benefits.

Anyhow, I saw a neat video about the Nashville cluster w/ 40, 65, & 24.

It was frustrating but still fun back in the '00s and '10s driving east or westbound through Nashville & having to bob & weave from one side of the road to the other to stay on 40. I moved away and can't imagine doing that regularly now with the massive population growth. The last few times I've been through Nashville have rivaled Atlanta.

Nothing compare to “Malfunction Junction” in Knoxville. Legendary!
 
Guy that lives down the road from me is worth north of 8 figures. He earned it all solo along side his wife. Saw him at the sandbar the other day and had a long conversation and he said above all his relationship with God, his wife and his health mean more to him than anything professional or financially.

Now go talk to someone worth low 5 figures.

Thinking they might think financials are a little higher on the list.

You’re missing the point.

People worth low 5 figures are constantly trying for more when in reality they focus on the wrong things.

On the flip side many of my childhood friends who weren’t extremely successful value God, family and health just as much.
 
September 26, 2025: Hold your plans for the future with an open hand. You do not know the details of your life until they come to pass. Take each day as it comes and do the best you can with where you are, what you do, what you have and be thankful. Put your trust in God that He will direct your steps when you seek Him with a whole heart. Matthew 6:33-34 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
 
Admit that I probably am. And didn’t mean to hijack the subject.














Just overall would like to see more of what those people think about priorities, happiness, and money vs people who don’t have to worry about it on a daily basis.
Understand it’s a narrow perspective. I’m blessed enough to have friends from both ends of it. And all in all the happiest regardless of net worth are the ones who keep God close and have a loving family. I also have a 70 year old neighbor who lives alone across the canal that has two million dollar boats and he’s the biggest arse you’ll ever meet.
 
Haha Pendleton needs to just get over the ball immediately after each play to stop the cowbells or draw a penalty
I mean we pretty much do that already. The big thing is is will the crooked SEC crew do anything about it, if they continue to use the cowbells when we are over the Ball.

Bible tells us to pay unto Caesar, and teaches to be good stewards of Gods blessings. And to tithe. At least that's my interpretation.

Inbf @Weezer interprets the Quran for us.

I mean, I found his How to Accumulate Pieces of Crap to be a game changer for me.
All jokes aside, been on daily webinars with @bignewt. Learn't to write like a bauce.

Seriously, wrote the book on 'Wife Accumulating Wealth: A guide to making sure she has all her money, and yours.'

Ill also send an accompanying pamphlet building that in state fence. Ive asked @butcha to write the forward, should have zero smarm.
 
You think that’s bad, but wait until you see a double laned round about in Atlanta. Half the people here are on suspended licenses, or they’re from NY or Florida. Heads are rolling.

I agree roundabouts are effectively the best way to redirect traffic. It boggles me how much of a hard time some people have with them.

NY drivers here are terrible. When I see NY plates I give a wide berth. They can handle bumper to bumper traffic, but once in open space they cannot manage the basics. It looks like a child takes the wheel.
