We have passed an investigation to the Health and Safety Executive after this innocent cyclist nearly suffered serious injury after a bridge malfunction
After 9 years in Gatlinburg, we have been asked to vacate our store by Friday. Due to the Covid-19 closure we are now two months behind in rent. Landlord has been reasonable.
A little emotional about it. A little relieved. The COVID shutdown has taken its pound of flesh.
If you try to find any information on the Allen, TX shooting this morning on twitter, all you would know is that a gun got out of a car and killed a bunch of people. And that America has to take all guns away from legal owners because AR-15’s are unhinged fanatics.
A friend of ours youngest son was in an ATV accident Sunday evening. He is in his late-twenties. Same age as our daughter.
“He needs a miracle” isn’t the news I was expecting.
Prayers please. His name is Spenser.
My cousin Lynn has been on the Vent for 15 days now for Covid. Setbacks are disconcerting, and family is becoming frantic.
Please pray for Lynn, and for her family. They are struggling to maintain hope. Pray for healing. And Grace.
Just found out a friend and former employee is hospitalized in ICU with multiple blood clots in the brain. Age 50 and fit BJJ black belt. Brilliant coder.
Why are healthy people dropping like flies? Climate change?
This makes me so sad. I hired him straight out of college.
IKEA has been accused of evading over $500 million in taxes. Apparently, prosecutors have been after them for years but they’re having a really hard time…
…putting their case together..
This bay of fertilize would have cost around $18,000.00 last year. Today it goes for just over $40,000.00. A tote of Roundup, 275 gallons, last year $4900.00 and today just over $14,000.00. This is just two inputs for growing a crop. Throw in diesel and next year will be fun.
It is with a very very broken heart that my family has to inform everyone that Spenser passed away this morning. He is loved by so many and had the biggest heart.
We appreciate all of the prayers, thoughts and kind words about our sweet Spens.
My sister has had a substantial exposure to Covid. She is high risk with RA. I would appreciate prayers for her. You can call her Ding Ding.
(I hope it gets back to her.)
My cousin Lynn (red) passed today from Covid. She joins her sister Lisa who passed away September 10th from Covid.
My heart breaks for my aunt & uncle, Patsy & Verlon.
Thanks for your continued prayers.
Would appreciate prayers. My wife’s business is failing. Her best friend has two cancers and is in Chemo. Her mom and dad and older brother are in rapidly failing mental and physical health, and we are not financially able to help.
Twenty-one years ago my baby girl came home from kindergarten and announced she was gonna be a large-animal Vet. She finished college with a 3.95 GPA, and finished Vet school 7th in her class. For the last year, she did a teaching internship.
Today is the start of her career.
My wife has two close friends from High School. They still see each other at least once a year, and talk every week.
She woke this morning to a missed call from 3 am. Her friend Denise called. Her son was killed in a car accident. We are numb. Prayers please for Denise in MS.
My wife has gone to Georgia to be with our friend with cancer. Met this morning with her two oncologist, which is likely to be the last. She has been blessed with little pain, but it won’t be long now. Been a difficult 5-year battle to watch.
Please say a prayer for Jan.

Almost exactly the same story as my grandfather, including the use of a shoebox in a wood stove as an incubator. He had five kids and 13 grandkids, who have gone on to great things.
This was late 80’s.
$60 dollars per day times 10 employees is $18,000 per month. How much profit do you think a business with 10 low-wage employees makes?
This is an amazingly ignorant tweet.

No they won’t, this is a fucking lie. It’s like an extra 30-60 dollars per day, per employee. If you can’t offset that cost by mildly raising prices, you shouldn’t be in business.
My BIL Carl is in the ICU. Not Covid related.
Trying to get him off the Vent. Sigh.
I would appreciate prayers for My Wife and her family.
Very sad situation.
Talk about “make my day.” On occasion, I sign up with the local NRA chapter for their gun raffle. Mainly when it has something interesting. Guess who just won this?
Hell yea!
My wife’s mom, Helen, is not doing well. She is in the hospital with a cracked hip, UTI, and a somewhat irregular heartbeat. My wife has been sick, but woke up feeling much better and just left for the 3.5 hour drive to Georgia.
Prayers appreciated for Helen and Ms. Can’t.
A wise man once responded to my very young concerns about having kids by saying “you could father the child that changes it all.”
Cecilia Grace. 9’ 4”. 21”.
I woke up an old man. Now a Grandpa.
I now have a reason to hang around.
My dear cousin Lynn is not doing well, and getting worse. Her sister died from Covid 2 weeks ago. After 27 days on the Vent, Lynn’s condition has deteriorated in the last week.
I ask for prayers for Lynn, her son and husband, and her mom and dad. They need God’s Grace.
This is my BIL Carl. He has gallbladder surgery tomorrow, which is extremely risky because of a heart condition. My wife is there to be with her mom.
Pray for Carl. And for family.
My mother-in-law is fighting a vicious staff infection. I am afraid. She is facing potential surgery to “clean up” an infected shoulder.
Please pray for Helen.
Prayers up for Jan and her caregivers. Indications are she is quickly approaching the end. Pray it is peaceful.
Please pray for peace for her friends and family.
Hospice care began February 15th and no one expected it to last this long.
Update on Mrs. G.
It wasn’t what we hoped to hear as there is a serious C-word thing. The good news is that it is (appears) confined, and thus treatable. Your continued prayers are greatly appreciated.
Heartbreaking but hopeful. God is good. Always.
Have a dear friend having surgery in the morning for a potentially serious issue. Would appreciate prayers for Mrs.G for the next 24 hours. Don’t let anyone tell you your 60’s can’t be scary.
I have been told on several occasions by several people — including members of the VC community — that I am the best intuitive analyst of business they have ever seen.
They haven’t met

Viewing data and seeing the big picture is as much art as analysis.
You can replace the entire NVSS system CDC.
You can re-parse and Simpson-effect categorize all the ICD-10 codes.
But I know the tricks - I know the scams. I will find the signal. This is what I do...
Before you go running into the streets ‘to take our country back,’ please look at what happened on January 6th and who it REALLY helped. Do not give this administration the distraction, the narrative, and the violence they want.
No matter who tells you to protest, stay HOME.

Son started his Chemical Engineering career at age 30, after seven years as a Ranger. He started his job a year ago this week in the panic of a pandemic, and spent his first few months virtual.
Today he was promoted to Engineer 2 and given a unit lead.

Buddy of mine drive OTR. Two hours from home (Chattanooga) this car swerved passed him and swerved in front, off the guardrail and rolled. He locked it up and managed to stop his truck and not get rear-ended. No tag. No license. No insurance. No English.
