Happy Tuesday! I am out of town this week doing a few portrait sessions in the beautiful state of Hawaii. The regular job has its perks for sure. This also means that the updates this week will likely be a bit sporadic. I will still be reading/researching things. I

I was gone for a few days last week, so today, you get a special Saturday edition. We are talking about the Betz Farm contract coming back for discussion on Tuesday. Batsel sent another letter, which we will cover below in a minute. But before we do all that... Let&
My my my.. Things are getting wild in this Betz Farm saga. I had planned on something different today regarding the agenda item for Tuesday, but I realized its not quite ready yet, so will be doing that tomorrow most likely. Apologies for those looking forward to that. Today we
