Just in case you're wondering
Nothing changed much in the markets Friday so I thought I mention a couple of things about my blogs just in case you're wondering.
1) The Foley Coffee Shop is a very real place. It's owned and operated by a former Navy Seal and good friend of mine named Woody. 2) It's an old 1950's style diner that's been there at least since that era. 3) I've eaten there over 3000 times since 1990. I really should have my own personalized table by now but you DO NOT want to tick off a Navy Seal, past or present. 4) A varying group of my friends meet there for lunch almost five days a week to discuss anything and everything. Other than myself, at my table you'd see Dale (the big Czech), Mark (sponge), George (GW), Mark M. (ghost boy), Roddy (our tech guru) and some others who hit and miss. Tim Wood is there on occasion, but not often. Woody sits and visits with us when he's caught up with the orders. At the bar you'd see a city councilman or two, Mike the manager of the local utility company and another Mark who works with him.
5) I once took a mutual fund wholesaler who grew up in New York CITY there for lunch just to see his reaction. He was visibly shaken and SWORE to me later that he was just waiting for the local Sheriff to come in and "order someone to get a haircut or something". I thought I was going to die laughing at that one.
6) Probably the most famous person I've had lunch with there is a former Watergate figure from the Nixon administration, JM. I'll let you guess but as they said in the movie All the Presidents Men "M is for__________"
7) Some goats really do freeze up and fall over like their dead when frightened. See the link at the end.
8) Chevy Chase played Clark W. Griswold in the movie Vacation. If you remember, he tied aunt Edna's dog, which he hated, to the bumper of that funky station wagon and dragged it to death. Well it's late so that's it for tonight.
