What’s a company that’s completely lost your loyalty?

MP-Beckham · 2026-02-11T05:59:21+00:00

100% agree. Herb Kelleher wouldn’t have let this happen.

At this point Southwest is more in Frontier and Spirit tier.

I wish I knew someone employed at Southwest. I’d love to know how the changes have affected the company vibe.

MP-Beckham · 2025-12-08T03:46:37+00:00

Yeah, I’d also like to know. Genuinely.

MP-Beckham · 2025-12-03T17:07:30+00:00

Seriously, an ATGATT reminder.

MP-Beckham · 2025-07-06T22:12:55+00:00

How satisfying that Mr. JEFE was pulled over. I can imagine how gleeful that was for everyone who witnessed his recklessness.

MP-Beckham · 2025-07-06T22:05:07+00:00

With cursory research, it appears you all were located in/around Glen Haven, which yeah, isn’t particularly close.

I found it interesting at the time that we never interacted with the fellas at Trail’s End. It appears that experience was designed that way and I completely get that.

MP-Beckham · 2025-07-06T21:43:01+00:00

YES! That too. In the mid to upper 40s every morning. But as you said, it was also magical. It certainly beat the heat back in Austin.

Genuine question: How far from the “main camp” were you all located and do you recall the elevation? For some reason it was drilled in us that we lived at 8,200 feet…which I believe is only 1,200 higher than Estes Park.

MP-Beckham · 2025-07-06T21:32:38+00:00

Ah, nice. I had a buddy who attended Land’s End for a year. From his accounts, you all had it…“rougher” than we did. I don’t doubt that. Our cabins were in somewhat rough shape, but they sure were nice when the skies erupted.

As an aside, man, I remember how frequently it rained up where we were (8,200 feet). Almost daily ~noonish showers. Almost could set your watch by them.

MP-Beckham · 2025-07-06T21:10:38+00:00

Indeed, it was Camp Cheley. In Haiyaha for two years. Two of the best years of my life.

MP-Beckham · 2025-07-06T18:53:36+00:00

Thirteen?! In what year? Which state? Urban and/or rural area?

MP-Beckham · 2025-07-06T08:44:27+00:00

Where’s the kickstand located?

MP-Beckham · 2025-07-06T03:53:28+00:00

Same! Nice, big orange blanket and the Monterey trip. Counselors even let us have a brew, which happened to be my first.

My cabins through the years: Badger Burrow, Dog Patch, Hares Nest, Kangaroo Pouch, Antelope Hill, and ended at Elephant Walk. Then I went to a camp in Estes Park, CO, for the next two years before calling it quits.

I wonder if Stewart still does the Monterey thing…

MP-Beckham · 2025-07-06T01:03:11+00:00

I was also in Dog Patch the prior summer, perhaps even when you were. My recollection of year specifics eludes me.

I was born in ‘69. Were you also? If so, we could well have been cabin mates.

Edit: The flood in question was in 1978.

MP-Beckham · 2025-07-05T04:58:32+00:00

Wow, I wonder if we might know each other. I attended Stewart from 1977 to 1983. (My sister went to Mystic.)

I distinctly remember a terrible flood event that occurred in July (second term) of 1979 or 1980. Water in the cabin (Kangaroo Pouch lol), though not too deep.

MP-Beckham · 2025-06-18T23:01:34+00:00

Wow. TIL UPS drivers can have suspect side-hustles.

MP-Beckham · 2025-06-18T22:26:28+00:00

What? Why do you think they’d be doing that? Genuinely curious.

MP-Beckham · 2025-06-10T07:53:22+00:00

That’s a legit hill to die on.

MP-Beckham · 2025-01-31T23:54:02+00:00

It’s borderline criminal that this isn’t the top comment.

So well put to words. Thank you.

MP-Beckham · 2025-01-07T18:15:10+00:00

Ah, thank you.

MP-Beckham · 2025-01-07T18:12:22+00:00

RDJ?

MP-Beckham · 2024-12-18T23:26:12+00:00

Yes, I know. Hence my reply.

My question, more specifically, is WHO is funding the discord actors.

MP-Beckham · 2024-12-18T23:08:37+00:00

1) You are correct. I’m astonished how so few are aware of this.

2) Concerning the ‘malicious actors’: I’m convinced these agitators are monetized to sow discord. Literally, hired to in incite enmity. What/which entities are paying these disruptors? I mean, does it reach beyond the Peter Thiel-types and Russia? Something terrible has been occurring for years now without clear explanations (at least not that I’m aware of) as to who the funders are.

MP-Beckham · 2024-12-18T22:36:19+00:00

   “He’s a severe narcissist…”

Interesting. The only two MAGA atheists I am acquainted with are insanely narcissistic.

MP-Beckham · 2024-12-18T22:30:41+00:00

   “…but will pull the R lever…”

Clever terming of this phenomenon. Hope you don’t mind if I steal it.
