Just participated in a national poll. I’m a bit surprised at the middle of the road views I actually hold. Seems to me that the only people who are full throttle one way or the other make their living off of politics.

‘I signed up to occupy Afghanistan, not defend the country,’ said one soldier. ‘When I said I’d defend Americans' freedoms, I meant I’d defend them abroad, not defend them at home.’
They really knocked this one out of the park. It may be their best piece yet.

Book Review: Getting Things Done 📚
October 28,2018This is a book that needs no introduction.
It was my first time reading it all the way through, having scavenged it before. It was as good as people said.
I did have a hard time getting through the book. The system works just fine for me as a stay-at-home dad, and clearly the work is targeted at members of the population in the workforce. The examples, rightly so, revolved almost entirely around work. That made the read difficult and, at many times, unengaging.
I have taken away reminders of the key to the system that work well for me. Keeping up to date, and putting every single to do item into a trusted source, which for me is the Things app.

Michael C. Bender for The Wall Street Journal:
In Indiana and Illinois appearances, Mr. Trump said he was inspired to keep his schedule in part because he remembered the New York Stock Exchange reopened the day after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The NYSE and Nasdaq reopened on Sept. 17.
This is quality journalism. The reporter corrects the record without comment and lets the reader draw their own conclusions based on the facts avaliable. We need more of this.

October 26,2018Credit Bureaus
They take my data,
Without my consent. Quite rude.
They are terrible.

I sent three identical requests to the three credit bureaus to freeze my three children’s credit a month ago. 8/9 requests came back just fine, but Equifax lost or didn’t process one. In order to find out if they did, I have to send another request, with all of the same sensitive documents through the mail, again. Stupid.
