Random Stuff

A few random things for this evening...

• Home prices in our city are the highest they have been since 2006!  Every time I check our house value it has gone up a few thousand more to the point that it is now worth $150k more than what we paid for it eight years ago.  Yippee!
• Check out Dolly Parton's Imagination Library where kids aged 0 to 5 can sign up to receive a free book every month!  What a great program!
• For those of you in the path of Hurricane Michael, stay safe!  It looks like the storm is going to be huge!
• A lot of people think that an online Amazon store is the path to riches.  Here's a cautionary tale about Amazon's business practices.
• And here is an interesting thread about inexpensive, fun places for location-independent techies to consider living.
