From @WSJopinion: Renewable energy is a misnomer. Building one wind turbine requires 900 tons of steel, 2,500 tons of concrete and 45 tons of plastic, writes Mark P. Mills. on.wsj.com/2KukXk2

The economy continues to "BOOM" with no end in sight. Interest rates are low. Inflation is low. Regulation is decreasing. The Stock market is up and we are living in the best of times. Resort and hotel construction, especially in Texas is really Booming. What a country.

"I will learn to take gains!Even if it means paying tax...I will remember that taking gains is better than carrying forward losses. The reason we invest is to take gains. Few investors get rich by only taking losses. The recent, drop in the market was smart people taking gains.

Don't have to look very far to figure out/understand that the taxes you pay, (income, property, sales, vehicle, gasoline,cigarette,alcohol) were designed, in theory, to help you. Watch how your local municipality takes on 30 year debt for 10 year assets. spubfin.com/whoweare.html

Hotel developers have partnered w/ Cities & Convention centers for many years to help get projects fast tracked via complicated capital stacks & creative financing-mostly centered around public tax dollars being put at risk. What happens if things change? bizjournals.com/kansascity/new…

Not sure what the fuss is about for the government proposing to only take 20% of our net profits..So Exxon only gets to keep, as profit, about 8 cents from each gallon of gas they sell but the government takes 48 cents/gallon & Exxon still has to pay income tax on the 8 cents.

Driftwood Wedding Season is heating up again...but now two years out. Don't wait. More venues are available but more groups are booking. Some calendars booked until 2019 already.

Driftwood, Texas, with no water or waste water infrastructure, continues to be slow to add hotels, motels and other lodging facilities. Dripping Springs has attracted Branded hotels chains via its water and waste water plant. driftwoodbednbreakfast.com

It's not 1985 & so, of course, people are using crypto currencies...bit coin, lite coin, Zcash at all levels of society & in most countries. I still dont get it & dont want to. Seems like a new age version of chinchillas, ostrich farms and pet rocks. fortune.com/2017/11/21/bit…

Hospitality companies count on occupancy rates and room nights. The extra revenue from the sale of a cup of coffee or a muffin adds up...especially when you own or manage 50,000+ rooms....each rented 300 times per year....that's 15 million bed nights X a $5 coffee/muffin combo.

Hurricane or not, Galveston, Port Aransas and Rock Port, continue their upward, growth trend. More permits for single family, multifamily and lodging venues are helping the area. Don't be the last one in. Visit Port A this weekend. portaransas.org

The horrific shooting in Southerland Springs shows, once again, that hard working, god fearing, gun owners will always save the day.

A rising tide lifts all ships but some tides come in faster and more dramatically than others. Make sure you have the right kinda of ship.
