This killed me when I realized what she was saying. Thought y’all might enjoy it as well. Has anyone else had their partner say something similar about a sports celebrity?

Beyond that, I can’t think of a term that caused me more headaches and schedule delays as an environmental remediation geologist/project manager early in my career. Going around the Southeast investigating and cleaning up former manufactured gas plants (nearly always built near rivers for easy access & waste disposal) and having to make accommodations for every podunk, bougie small city that had a “riverwalk” in the works because in the 90’s it was THE thing that small cities had to have. 🤣Dude is absolutely dead on balls accurate when he calls the river walk a “dirty little creek.” I don’t really get why people like SA so much.

Funny, if you ever catch the old 1955 movie, The Phenix City Story, the opening credits of the movie are one of a number of MGP’s that were accidentally caught on film. Los Angeles’ downtown MGP can be seen in some of the background of the horror classic “Them”. If you know what to look for, they’re easy to see.

I’d bet that we’ve met, as well 👍 Happily left consulting when Southern Company corporate hired me. Never looked back. Always laughed to myself when people would say “Don’t you want to be in consulting; you can make so much more”. 🤦🤦 Environmental Consulting is a grind; a good place to learn from and get out of.
