I'll watch the rest of that later, but I'm reminded of about five years ago when Nancy and I were in the early process of selling Star Industries -- to a corporation from Houston, Texas.
The Due Diligence folks arrive here in January to spend a week or so going through the business, and one afternoon the forecast told us to expect a big snowstorm that night. Sure enough, we got about 18" of snow by morning. We got to the office, the trucks having already left on their regular 400-mile routes, and decided to call the Texas people to tell them to stay home. When they answered the phone I told 'em "Stay home -- it's a snow day".
They asked, and wondered, and had no clue what "snow day" meant. I told 'em -- that means you can stay in the motel room all day, watch tv, and we'll pick you up to take you to lunch since you don't know how to drive in this stuff.
By the way, they were the same folks that arrived up here in January with street shoes -- no boots, that is, and light jackets and no gloves or scarves.
Goofy, hey?
