News: It's not your imagination -- it really has been hot and dry this summer -- http://www.detnews.com/2002/metro/0207/16/a01-538407.htm

Comment: Last year at this time, the temperature had gone over 90 degrees only four times. It's gone over 90 degrees 12 times already this year (probably 13 counting today.) But the upside of this dry weather is that we've had a lot of clear nights so I can use my new telescope. Who cares if a few lawns get broiled? (heh heh heh)

News: Cool gadget alert -- the Soundbug sticks to tables or wall and turns into an instant speaker system -- http://www.infosync.no/news/2002/n/2055.html

Comment: This could be really handy if you take a laptop presentation on-the-road and you need some audio that is more powerful than the laptop speakers. It's amazing how ingenious people can be when they think they might make a buck.

News: SBAM survey says small businesses ignore Wall Street, show optimism about the future -- https://www.sbam.org/resource/digest/features/071602.html

Comment: Few small business owners are big players in the stock market. They've invested in what they know -- their own businesses. That's what Jennifer and I did with her business.

I like to tell people that the bad news during the '90's is that I had very little money in the stock market. But the good news in the '00's is that I have very little money in the stock market! Who's laughing now?
