Veterans Day
Big Red Car here. The Boss is on the road again and is attending the Veterans Day parade in New York City while me and the housesitter are having our own little celebration. And why not?

The President recently said this election is a referendum on his policies — perhaps one of the stupidest tactical utterances in the history of American electoral politics because his policies are not very popular. Continue reading

Customer Loyalty Revisited
Big Red Car here. Perfect day in the ATX. On Earth as it is in Texas!
This blog post is a flashback to one written in June of 2013 on the issue of customer loyalty in the age of the Internet. It is sparked because of several emails The Boss received from a comment he had made on AVC.com one of his favorite blogs.

Big Red Car here on a football Saturday in the ATX. Lots of good games on the flatscreen today. There is nothing like a good weekend of college football particularly this year where there is no real dominate team — sorry Nick Satan.
So, President Romney has been in office for going on two years now and it is possible to catalog the profound changes that have occurred under his administration. Continue reading
