Be a Pill!

When we take pills, we rarely consider the amazing facts that let us do so.

Do you ever consider that the pill we are taking is required to survive the hydrochloric and other acids in our stomach?  (Even if that pill is meant to travel around our body from the stomach, the “guts” of the pill have to survive our guts!)  And, if we need intestinal transfer (often where the transmission to our body is the best means of delivery), then the pill needs to be able to withstand all the enzymes in our intestines that were designed to break down proteins and then allow the dosage to pass through the mucus layer that protects the intestines from our enzymes and stuff we eat.

Tesla has company- lots of it!

So, we’ve been discussing (Wednesday, yesterday)  electric trucks- the big rigs, Class 8 vehicles.  And, you’d think that Tesla was the only one getting ready to market these rigs from those discussions.  No way!

Big Rigs, electric and otherwise

No Gravatar

Yesterday, we touched on the new tractors that Tesla is developing.  The Tesla Semi incorporates what they call “Enhanced Autopilot” – the same sort of stuff that exists in Tesla cars.   This means the rig is loaded with cameras and radar- and those devices let it determine what is the traffic flow, how to safely change lanes- and, most importantly, how to pull over into a controlled sop should the driver fall asleep or become incapacitated (via a heart attack or something similar.)

Wine, diamonds, but not roses…

Ah, the trials and tribulations of shipping valuable objects.

I remember sending a palm pilot to my daughter. Which was “delivered”. Except, it was really just dropped off at her doorstep. Before she got home, it was gone. Eventually, I got UPS to pay up. They tried to claim they had no responsibility. Like, it was only their job to drop off the box.

Another one (ok, a whole bunch of them) bites the dust…

I can remember a time, not so long ago…

Yup, when Congressmen (there were maybe 1 or 2 women, who ‘inherited’ their spouses’ seats) were held in relative high regard.  And, car salesmen were the low men (again- same statement) on the totem pole.  Now, Congressfolks have a public approval rating that would make Idi Amin (go ahead, look him up!) blush- and car salesman have vanished (almost) from the face of the earth.

What’s going on? Please tell me!

Have you ever considered how your client views your law firm (or your tax preparation or medical specialty or engineering- even order fulfillment) firm?   They come, they ask questions, they give you money, and then they wait…and sometimes wait and wait.  That whole process is something you can change to demonstrate your ‘value added’ components to your clients/customers.
