And he ended up cash-positive by the end of the trip!

And things may be getting a little complicated by a Cavalanche...

And that would be the extreme worst-case scenario. But I and others believe in the future of this city. Optimism is what motivates me and them to achieve more than extreme worst-case scenarios. To assume those scenarios is to accept them through the laziness of pessimism.

I did. I just never heard of him before you told me. And see, I'm trying to be a good American and proudly broadcast my ignorance of something I should probably know.
