And just when I thought sure you were talking about Clint Black and Lee Ann Womack.
Gosh darn, please forgive me.
Now back to the ukelele: "in the middle of the island, just the monkeys in the palms trees......" |

Ghoust, now I truly know you're a TRUE TEXAN, because as I was watching the movie I came to the self same conclusions. When I track you down, and I will!! I am taking you to the Parrot Head here on Pleasure Island! Its' a true Texas Honky Tonk and you'd fit right in! |

But what you really need to know about storm trooping...is our true collective mentality.
For you yutzos out there right now, on cable TV at American Movie Classics, they are showing the movie musical from 1969, 'Paint Your Wagon'. This movie typifies and parallels our own realities. From the wandering around the country seeking our fortunes, to the loneliness of a solitary work/life-style, to the temporary nature of the work assignments, this movie echoes our sentiments.
Our binding sense of belonging to a group is limited to those few out there we ocasionally run across out on the road. Even then, the time consorting is ever so short. Roy's CADO Clubhouse has become our sole link to stay in touch and avoid that melancoly sense of solitude.
So, Trainees and Grizzeled Veterans, go on and watch the movie and reflect on the similarities with storm trooping. In the meantime, I'll be fixing and repainting my wagon and waiting for the wind we call 'Maria'. |

There was a time all you needed to know was how to use a shoe foot measure!
Now, it seems you have to be certified by laying on of hands by Big Red, FIG, USAA, The Blue Group and a Toxicoligist/Microbioligist.We need a good earthquake or another Iniki or Andrew IMHO! |

Don't just pick on the Baptists, and teachers are a strong # 2 for difficultly. Also if you are in the SE in he fall, don't use those walnut trees for the shade you pack in. |

And Insureds who make their living as Baptist ministers are the WORST insureds to reach an agreement with. |

Also, when you first here "All I want is what is due under the policy", be on the alert, this one won't go easy |

One other tidbit for the new adjusters:
Whenever an insured, public adjuster or contractor starts off a sentence with either "To tell you the truth..", or "To be perfectly honest with you..." you can bet dollars to donuts they are not. |

Finaly all wrapped up in simplicity but one other comment. NEVER stay at a motel where the sign says dial phones now available. |

All you need to know to be a cat adjuster !
1. Don't pay'em more than they are asking.
2. Park in the shade.
3. The saying "The harder I work, the luckier I get" does not always apply to cat adjusters.
