Two things happened this year.One is the stock really popped 40% and he got a lot of cloud credit. But the interesting thing is this is the year he actually abandoned the buyback str ...

This week will be incredibly hot and not the best climate for putting up lights, but we aren't sure how much time we have. Wi ...
