Dam – Toad Suck is a DAM!

February 7, 2003February 22, 2017

Rob Bullock: ‘You missed one of my favorites – and not because it is in my home state – French Lick, IN 47432 (home of Larry Bird).’

K. Siembieda: ‘I can’t believe you missed central Pennsylvanians’ favorite – Intercourse, PA – in the midst of Amish country … go figure.’

Michael Roth: ‘You missed Hell, Michigan.’

Michael LeBoeuf: ‘Cut N Shoot, Texas.’

Larry Taylor: ‘Fifty-Six is in Arkansas, not Arizona, and does have a zip: 72533. (The zip for Forty-Four is 72535.) Toad Suck is not a place, it is a dam and a bridge and a former ferry. Also we seem to have a little of the Middle East in Arkansas:

Damascus, AR 72039
Palestine, AR 72372
Jerusalem, AR 72080
Egypt, AR 72427
Jordan, AR 72548
Goshen, AR 72735
Zion, AR 72589

. . . and our most famous for this time of year, Romance, AR 72136.’

John Padavic: ‘I bought Tivo (the machine, not the stock) on your recommendation, and it’s amazing. It changes the way you live!’

☞ Yes. I am certain about the machine; less certain about the stock.

Dave Rockafellow (really? cool name if real) offers this link to some sober-sided Morgan Stanley economic analysis. I’d like to think it’s wrong, but my hunch is that we are headed for truly gargantuan deficits. We’ll muddle through, of course; but most of us will be the poorer for it. (Maybe not the five principal Wal-Mart heirs, who would save several hundred million dollars a year in taxes on their dividends, but most of us.)

Quote of the Day

"A good prince will tax as lightly as possible those commodities which are used by the poorest members of society; e.g., grain, bread, beer, wine, clothing, and all other staples without which human life could not exist."
