Finally got the stock tank pool put together just in time for the long weekend. Baby girl loves it. Had an idea while floating around in here. I’m sure it already exists. See how small my backyard is? My whole neighborhood is like this. All of north Dallas is like this. Is there a “small backyard pool guy”? Someone who only builds micro pools? I heard a few people in my hood have one. No clue how you get an excavator or any equipment back here. Is this a niche or do all pool builders take on tiny backyard projects?

🇺🇸 California just declared a state of emergency in Orange County. A hazardous chemical incident at an aerospace facility sent tens of thousands of people running, and Newsom signed an emergency declaration fast enough that the ink was barely dry before state agencies were being directed to move in. Extra powers unlocked, fairgrounds on standby as shelters, full state machinery activated. Crews are still on the ground trying to contain whatever is in that facility. A toxic tank explosion is still on the table. 40,000 people out of their homes on a Saturday night, and nobody is telling them when they can go back. Source: NY Post

The economy is splitting in two. Yesterday I toured a new gym in town charging $500/month. They offer blood work, recovery, and concierge-style fitness, but most people are really paying for exclusivity. They haven’t even opened yet and they’re already 25% sold out. Later that same day, I talked to a family friend who has owned restaurant chains for 25 years. He told me they are seeing the highest rate of declined credit cards at the register they’ve ever seen. Higher than 2008.
