The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I'm not certain it was 20 years since I was last here, but a long time anyway. I posted using the name "Dog Island Investment Co.", starting in 1999 I believe. That was quite a year to start using MI!

I took part in an MI convention around that time, in Las Vegas. I conducted some "MI Surveys" and posted the results on the motley fool MI board.

I see some names in the current posts that I remember from the past: Elann, Rayvt, and I'd probably recognize more after a bit of catching up. I'm pushing 77, so the memory may not be quite what it used to be.

What posts should I look for, as a starting point to catch up on what's going on here?
