In my current job I have been given stock options in three different option grants.
As opposed to picking a different username, I have kept this one to avoid any future confusion.

Thats very interesting....
much more unique than how I came up with my name.
ohh...and uhhh...yeah..sorry about your stock experience.
I work for a major computer company, so you can imagine how bad
that stock is doing right now...

And, Bourbon, it's only going to get worse and the summer comes on!

You haven't lived until you've gone through the month of August in Texas

A great big Cloudy Howdy to you Bourbon! We had a very sunny morning that turned into whopper of a thunderstorm and vanished almost before you could blink! Summer is coming, I can feel it! And all the blossoms on Guinivere (my dwarf crabapple tree) came off with the rain. Still the trees and shrubs are mighty happy for that rain!

Enjoy that beautiful weather when you have it! Great idea.

You win.
Texas closes down if it goes below 32 deg.
A bit of ice on the road and it means we can sleep in.
We speak of black ice on the road as if we've ever had any. lol

In Alabama, we get a heavy frost in the winter and eveything closes down for the day! Bourbon, we call August the "dog days," cause only dogs would be stupid enough to get out in it. No offense to Rudi!
