The Wisdom of J.R. Simplot
Read the whole thing closely, great stuff from a great American man.
“You can’t borrow money without collateral. You have to have something to get started with. That’s the problem: You got to have that taw. You shoot marbles? You shoot that taw marble because you can knock the other marbles out easier with it. Each man has his own taw, and if he gets good with that taw, he can knock the hell out of some marbles. And he can win, but he has to have strong fingers and the right aim. It’s like anything else: You got to work at it.”

That’s good stuff right there. Reminds me of many people I’ve known from that generation.

Cap: Yep, J.R. is definitely not a Boomer.
