Seldom have times been easier for an honest writer. There are so many “hot topics” around that it boggles the mind. So, still in recovery mode from our snow event, we will keep it short in order to (more importantly) “keep it warm.” Small Business Optimism Collapses National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) publishes an optimism report each month. A composite – street level look – at the immediate future. Not surprisingly, the press release …

Local power company had the lights on in just over 90-minutes last night. Following the big East Texas Blizzard of ’21. All the parts of the operation here that “fail-over” to backups worked fine. Lights off in the house was actually a pleasant change. Too lazy to dip into our 500 gallons of propane for heat.
