Just a Couple of Random Thoughts

· I think a great new business venture would be text books on a Kindle. I know companies are doing that. The problem is that the college book store business will drastically change and how do they make that profitable for publishers and universities.
· By the way, I don’t own a Kindle. Wish I did though.
· I got a new car with a hands free/Bluetooth phone. My son says since I have stopped texting while I drive that I need hands free text.
· From an INC magazine article. “What would a world without offices look like? Well Dilbert wouldn’t be funny and there would be no such thing as rush hour traffic. If 40% of the workforce worked from home, (which it probably could) 100 hours per person saved on not commuting, 1500 lives saved to no car accidents, and 200 billion saved in real estate expenses and electrical bills.” Don’t laugh at your friend the next time they say they spent all day at work in their PJs.
· I grow dirt. I just have a few beds that I compost, I till and I rake. No plants just dirt. I like to dig up the worms. Nothing prettier than freshly tilled dirt!
· My father in-law used to joke while walking through Lowes, “this would be a great place for hardware store.” Have you noticed that there service has improved lately? I am going to start watching their stock again!
· I am seeing more and more friends cancel phone service and just use their cell phones exclusively.
· Funniest thing at this year’s Masters was the plane flying over that pulled a sign that read, “Tiger: Did you mean Bootyism?”
· My new favorite quote from Phil Mickelson, “A great shot is when you pull it off. A smart shot is when you don’t have the guts to try it.”
