The Government, Your Newest Auto Industry Expert

Several weeks ago I debated the notion of writing an article on the Cash for Clunkers program.  With a flair for the dramatic, I was going to title the piece “Subsidized Death Spiral”.  I trust, given the prospective titling, my position relative to the program is clear even sans a 750 word exposition.  But alas the program came and went and no article materialized.  That’s mostly ok, as...

Annual Reading – Purpose Driven Life – Part 3

Lately I’ve been sharing my notes or thoughts from my first time reading Rick Warren’s “The Purpose Driven Life”. Previously I shared Days 1-10 and Days 11-25.  Today I’ll conclude the series with my notes for Days 26 – 40.  Day 26 Temptations arise as a means of trying to drive a wedge between us and God.  They should be viewed as testaments of our relationship...

Link Round-Up – No Rest For The Weary Edition

Hey everyone, I trust that today’s edition finds you well.  I’m a little compressed for time as my next deadline is quickly approaching and having just recently boasted as to my 6 month streak, I wanted to get something out even if I’m relying on others for all the heavy lifting. One of the treats in maintaining a site like this is the chance to interact with folks with whom I’d...

“Got…. an original idea?”

It was a true original.  Now the “Got………?” ads are ubiquitous. “Got Insurance?”  “Got...

Annual Reading – Purpose Driven Life – Part 1

I have spent time sharing some of my goals – or at least my approach to crafting my personal goals.  In this and in 2 upcoming articles I want to share more information related to one of my goals. Specifically, I want to focus on one line item from my inventory of Spiritual Goals. As a lead in, I want to reiterate a quote I’ve heard and probably shared multiple times before: ‘In...

Third Time is a Charm

  Indeed, the third time is the charm!  Twice before I’ve been the recipient of misdirected questions.  Visitors looking for Ramsey were stuck with Ozment. But today, the training wheels come off.  I get my very own question to engage.  Granted, my first inclination was that I had been misidentified again, but validation rang through.  Indeed, the question was mine.  I trust I fared...
