Bulverde Mayor Threatens Bicyclists

I originally entitled this “Bulverde Mayor Opens Mouth and Inserts Foot”, but figured this  suited it better. That said, both are true. In an article he wrote himself (opens in new window), the Mayor proved he knows nothing of the laws and common decency, then threatened to abuse the police to target a class of law abiding citizens doing legal things - riding their bicycles.

What is Service?

I ran across this article on CFO.com: “The True Meaning of Service”. Something really stood out to me. In the article, Timothy Chou asserts Amazon is not in the business of sales, but in service. As someone who has had poor service interactions with Amazon, and read of the many people who have had bad to horrible experiences with Amazon’s “service department”, I was taken aback.

No more garage office! There are a few things to finish off, such as the water cooler and mini-fridge, not to mention decorating. However, my new home office is ready for business. I have plenty of windows providing a bounty of natural daylight from the second story of the new house. I think I’ll be placing the mini-fridge just to the right of the monitor in the picture. The water cooler will go behind the desk in a tight corner where the walk-in closet door opens.
