Hey, bro :>) How's you? Sell the business yet?
OK, my kid got hers elf into Cal, but now I need to talk her out of being a business major. At least she knows how to kill chickens.

HEY, if she's really good at bidness, and you talk her out of being a bidness major, send me your address so I can come over and kick ya'....

Folks, there is, has always been and will always be bidness....the exact nature of it changes, but bidness of some kind will outlast the cockroaches! :-)

The ultimate business is monkey business.

One of my kids is a business major too. Have not been able to talk them out of it. On occasion, I get to peruse through the scholarly textbooks they read. Some of it is total cult stuff straight out of the Adam Smith church catacombs.

It's OK to study business as long as you do not become part of the cult. "From Good to Great" yeah right, that's where the human race is heading. (--that's the title of one of the "business" books on the reading list)

" "From Good to Great" yeah right, that's where the human race is heading."

Still you got to consider the inverse....would anybody buy a bidness
book called "From Bad to Rotten."   :-)

...gee, I wonder if there are a certain kind of stores where that one is prominently displayed? :-)

By the way, I someday really want to discuss WalMart, but it will have to come at the time when I am ready to be shoved out of here for good....it will be controversial.....

She's too smart for business. Better than a 4.0 in Science; her easiest class last year was Advanced Placement Calculus. Easy, as in "this is my mick".

doin well.  i have a email sitting on my desktop for the last four days for you.  not really waitin fer an edit but just the rest of the right words.

my peak project is about half through and the businesses being sold are about the middle of the project.  one is a few months from closing (at the most) and then the next phase kicks in.

that one involves the relocation out of this unprepared valley.  there is a good local grass root organization forming but its character is one that has no roots in know how.  

i believe knowhow to be the most basic asset needed so i am moving to an area that has a ton of basic knowhow wrapped in mechanical ability.  farmers.  

they have knowhow.  and get the job done.

so that is where i am goin.  some farming field with mountains around it.  and grow the biggest acorn squash and tomatoes possible without chemicals.

this years garden is kickin butt.

93 tomato plants
450 corn plants
rows of beans and beets

i will tell you about it in the mail.

cheers

bill
