Hi Rhys!

My wife and I always thought you would have been the best person to replace Steve Carell on The (American) Office.

Were you ever considered/interested/offered? This just seems like such a missed opportunity.

As a lactose intolerant individual, thanks so much for the great Cherry Garcia Fro Yo. Love it. I'm also a big supporter of the Constitutional Amendment you propose.

I recall learning in business school when you guys started the company, the highest paid employee salary was tied to the lowest paid employees salary. If I remember right, the highest paid person could not be paid more than 7 (?) times the lowest paid.

I also remember hearing that policy is gone now.

Can you comment on this policy and if it still exists and if not, why?

This makes me sad. They blew it.

Keep up the great work!

so was there a trap door in it that people could get out if they didn't make it over the loop? All the times spent skiing there this was a big debate on the lift. I can give myself chills thinking about being stuck in a dark water slide tube.

How common is short cutting safety measures for the sake of production? a la Massey?

The Big Branch incident was quite egregious as I understand (disabling methane sensors) but I'd imagine smaller violations are more commonplace.

What was the safety culture like and how did it evolve over your time in the industry?
