Back at the boat school (when we still used pay phones and paid for long distance), I would call my friends back in GA. My roommates (CA and MI natives) told me I was running up the phone bill adding extra syllables to my words.

I was a customer ops exec for years and I was eternally frustrated by how many people just donβt get this. Marketing, Product, Customer Serviceβ¦so many didnβt get this.

Thinking about this earlier this morning (I'm a vet). I think we should swap Memorial Day and Veteran's Day. Lots of folks without a connection to Memorial Day actually think of it as another Veteran's Day. Swapping would tie Memorial Day back to Armistice Day/Remembrance Day.

I actually thought this was a decent play. If Rβs say βokayβ, it puts the ACA right back in the conversation during mid-terms next year. Since they said no (as expected) it makes the messaging really clear and pins the whole thing directly on the Rβs.

I was in UK for Remembrance Day a few years ago. I didnβt wear all of mine because I didnβt want to carry the whole lot with me but I wore miniatures and no one batted an eye. Donβt worry about βcurrentβ - you earned them.

Iβve been to a lot of Seders. Iβm a Christian. It didnβt contradict my faith.
My FIL was Muslim, he loved Christmas Dinner.
Celebrating meals and holidays together is a great way to βlove your neighborβ as we Christians like to say.

Someone once told me "If you aren't paying your lawyer at least $300/hr, you need a better lawyer." That was a good while back, so maybe $400 now.

FYI, the incident happened in Augusta. Which is arguably worse since Augusta is a pretty racially diverse city.

My favorite English professor at the Naval Academy, sadly now deceased, said "If you start reading Joyce at the first sentence of Dubliners and read straight through, in the order he published them, to the last sentence of Finnegan's Wake, you can see a mind going mad sentence by sentence."

Image of MG Knellβs declaration stating that Federal Protective Service had requested personnel at the court house
I think this is all bad also, but I donβt think MG Knell lied. He references a request from FPS for the court house. If FPS overstepped their authority, that doesnβt make MG Knell a liar. As a former military officer I read his declaration carefully and thought it was a βjust the factsβ statement.

But for small businesses that would disfavor building the car wash in the first place by making it harder to sell it when youβre ready to retire. Big PE makes it a game, but that structure is the lifeblood of small business sales allowing a lot of βlittle guysβ to build wealth.

Interesting. I would have probably put interwebs first because of the impact on both information distribution and commerce, but could physical good e-commerce really have happened in a break-bulk world? Maybe, but probably not to the same extent.
