As a business, you can do many things. Don’t be these people. It’s early November. I think I’ll egg this place later.

She's broken inside, despite wealth, past haunting her, wants to die, but can't find a way.
He's failing despite it all, losses torturing him, wants to live, but can't find a way.
They find each other, but the end comes for everyone, someday.

I want to be sure folks understand what is happening in tech, but other job sectors in the U.S. economy. Revenue growth is double-digit, over 10% for Amazon last year, but the executives there are still slashing jobs. They fired 14K and will hit 30K. Those folks enter a dead job market due to #AI.

Finished the last batch of bacon this year. Won’t revisit this until spring. Neighbors are happy, as I shared about 60%.

No one named JODY will be allowed to try some.

All our freedoms flow from democracy and the rule of law. We are all now single issue voters to save the Republic. Set aside ALL other concerns until this is done.

I have better photos, overall nicer imagery, of the beach, but this weather front was really something. A neighbor on the sand is a local weather reporter who packed up to ensure his safety from the storm.

This story is perfect for the season. I'm not looking for professional analysis; rather, I think some friends here might enjoy it. The pitch is in the image.

In case you need it today, zoom in to where the gravestones are, and get lost for a few moments.
