There is a new plan out there that is as far fetching as it seems in reality as well as in its imagination. A group of tycoons are planning to mine asteroids for their valuable minerals. They plan to catch asteroids and squeeze them dry of their metals which will then be sent back to earth.
The plan is futuristic but some believe the technical difficulties can be overcome. The plan has large start-up costs and will take many years before it happens but it may well work.
With the summer months coming on, we have been doing a lot of planning for our garden. I have the grounds laid out and tilled and we are deciding what plants will go where. It’s a fun project for my wife and I and I think the kids will be glad to help out now and then as well. We have some great plans for this year’s harvest.
One idea I am interested in is called rain harvesting. That’s when you harvest the rain that runs off your roof into what is called a rain barrel. The water is stored there until you need to use it. I thought it would be the perfect way to save on our water bill. Instead of paying for water from the tap to water the plants, we can use the water that is captured in the barrels.
I went online in order to investigate the situation and I found a great site where they have rain barrels for sale. Although there is an initial investment, it will save me in the long run as well as being environmentally friendly. I believe we will have on heck of a garden this year and I am very excited about that. We will be able to put our own produce on our dinner table. Now that’s a good feeling.
Many Americans have different opinions on whether the penny should stay or go. The Canadians are in the process of eliminating their penny because it costs too much to make. It costs about a penny and a half to make each penny.
Americans are a little different breed though and feelings for the penny run high. We are basically a nostalgic people and we love that Lincoln’s head is on the penny. We will have to see how this plays out.
Anyone who is in business knows that the name of the game is marketing. Letting people know who you are and what your business is about is paramount to a good business plan. That’s why I like to take advantage of new marketing techniques whenever I can. One of my favorite methods is using logo mats or a logo canopy whenever I can. It’s a simple way to get your name noticed by the public.
We recently started going to trade shows. We decided that our outlet was not up to par. We wanted our name to be prominent and found that trade show flooring was a perfect way to get our name noticed. It has worked out very well so far and we plan to take things a few steps further in the future.
We are still a small company but we feel that we will get bigger every day by taking a few simple steps. We will work hard to please our customers, we will get our brand name noticed, and we will strive to use whatever tactics we deem necessary to do so. I am confident that we will succeed in fulfilling these goals and am proud that I am playing a role in it.
Lately, I have been very interested in a certain radio station called 102.1 (The Game). They talk about sports and since I am a big fan it’s interesting to me. Anyway, they gave out their phone number and invited people to call in and voice their opinion. I called and actually got through and was able to talk with (The Coach).
Though I had to turn down my radio to talk, I was able to hear myself for the last three seconds as they have a time delay. It was great to hear myself on the radio and I am still stoked about it. Thanks to the coach for listening and the station for allowing me to call in.
