Imagine a house in Lynnwood that sold in 2001 for $90,000.00.
Now imagine that same house being sold in 2005 (four years later).
To determine value, your lender asks that you have it appraised.
Your appraiser establishes a value of $330,000.00.
The seller, of course wants more money (don't we all).
The seller's appraiser establishes a value of $580,000.00.
What price would you pay?
Now imagine that the house was a meth lab.

I suspect they mean "inefficiency".
Barack H. Obama
"To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist."
Robert F. Kennedy
"Each time a man stands up for an ideal," he said in a 1966 speech to South African students, "or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
I do not think of political power as an end. Neither do I think of economic power as an end. They are ingredients in the objective that we seek in life. And I think that end or that objective is a truly brotherly society, the creation of the beloved community.

Ha, Ha - great analogy, equally tragic and hilarious!
But wait - are you implying something?
I think you need to fix the decimal points on your dollar amounts.
Or maybe you were using the same math as the enrollment forecaster?
Just kidding about the math skills - nobody could be that bad (unless you're being groomed for management).
The enrollment forecaster must have predicted the "Tips" fate last season. They will not get 46 wins this season. Sorry to trump you Marla, but really I had no respect for you last year either. Go Kyle!!!
