The only polls that matter and are guaranteed to be accurate are the ones we visit on election day to cast our vote.

How to write a book…
Think very, very deeply about something for a very long time.
Write it down once your head gets too full to keep it in anymore.
That’s my experience, anyway.
Today’s thought: If you change nothing, nothing changes.
There’s a fall-like chill in the air today and this is the day the Pumpkin Spice Latte is available again at Starbucks.
Coincidence? I think not.
The footsteps of the future are formed in the present.
If I had to describe Walz in one word it’s “Folksy”.
Quintessentially Minnesotan.
Your regular reminder that the casual investor sees events like this as a reason to sell. The smart investor sees this as a great time to buy good stocks at great prices.
Why CVS and Target Locking Up Products Is Backfiring – Bloomberg
My wife can tell you I’ve been harping on this for months now. Ever since our local Target went this direction.
The plastic shields, once used sparingly to secure certain kinds of expensive or heavily regulated items such as cellphones or cigarettes, were now holding hostage run-of-the-mill toiletries and cleaning supplies. To negotiate their release, you’d need a key-wielding store employee. If no one was around—and no one ever was—you could press a call button and hope for the best.
Turns out, when you treat every customer like a criminal, the good ones will shop where they are treated like customers.
I’ve literally gone to Target to get something, found it locked up, and found it easier to whip out my phone and order it from Amazon for same day delivery than press the stupid button and wait for an employee.
Doing a good job sticking to my very slow/no/low-carb diabetic diet, doing circus rigging for 30+ hours a week for the last three weeks, and being generally active have me down below 200 pounds for the first time in over 20 years. Pretty proud and feeling healthier than I have in ages.
It’s been a while since I mentioned that my latest book, For You, is available in Paperback, Amazon Kindle, and completely DRM free ePub editions.
I wrote it for my daughter for her 16th Birthday so it also makes a great gift for any young person in your life.
