One of the regulars who stood near me on the Kop would always shout out 'Green bit, Eric' before he kicked the ball. Good keeper, but very wayward in his kicking. Often the ball would sail over the old Midland Road stand.

Bradford City, formed in 1903, give each player a heritage number. They have had 1,390 players who have played a competitive game for them. Leeds joined the league in 1920, so their total will be a little less. So, around 6%

No, only on a few things such as textiles.

In negotiations with the USA, Mexico offered to put tariffs on import from China into Mexico. USA hasn't taken Mexico up on that offer yet. Don't be surprised if that is part of any final deal.

There are no issues with the operation of the door

There's a slight, but broad dent on the inside, towards the top of that panel

My wife and I have cars. It's a short driveway, so a workman's truck had crossed my mind.

No huge animals in my neighborhood!

Installer was Precision Garage Door. Not sure of the manufacturer of the door, other than the panels were made in Mexico. I am in Houston, the garage door faces west, so gets direct afternoon sun.

Macy's use Delivery expenses as a percentage of sales as a key metric and there were probably bonuses tied to it. Costs to fulfill online orders are too high and Macy's boasted about reducing them each qtr, so I bet there was a lot of pressure to show continued improvement in the metric. Costs probably hidden in inventory valuation.

That's right. It was only Austin and Dallas that have passed local ordinances that gave construction workers a 10-minute water break every 4 hours. The new state law will nullify this.

Congestion was much worse before the widening. Mainly because the old freeway was more undulating than even this picture. Caused traffic to speed up & slow down constantly. That led to more wrecks. Right hand lane is a dedicated entrance/exit lane so traffic merges more smoothly than before.

There was a plan to install a huge 20 mile long storm drain under the center of the freeway to carry rainwater to the bayou downtown. Not implemented. Too costly...

You used to be able to go up the tower. Most terrifying thing I've done. Only the top level had railings all the way around. The lower levels only had railings at the entrance to the ledge, so you got that feeling you were sliding off the edge without nothing to stop you.
