I would like to extend a warm GAW welcome to the restaurant owner that I talked to tonight.

I have a best practice to share: if ordering takeout, don't "phone it in", actually go to the establishment, sit at the bar, and have a wee dram of scotch while you're entering your order.

That's what I did tonight, as usual, and I happened to have a long conversation with one half of the married couple who owns the restaurant (they also own four others, all successful) whom I hadn't seen in a few years. I asked her where she had been, and she said she was trying to ease into a retirement lifestyle. She stated that she is beginning to see some of her contemporaries in the obits, and that life is truly short. However, her husband is so hard working and dedicated that he will probably always keep at it. Guys, these are the type of bootstrap entrepreneurs (pardon my French) that have made this country great.

Anyhoo, we get to talking and all of the sudden she asks me if I know about the tribunals. My eyes widened. I assured I was familiar with the whole devolution theory and believed it to true, down to the my core of my heart (my brain cannot handle the alternative). Of course, I immediately refer her to this website which is my home away from home. She writes it down. greatawakening.win, got it.

She then asks me if I ever listen to Dave's X22 report, to which I nodded, and showed her on my phone that when I launch my podcast app it is the first one q'd up. She goes on to tell me that she listens every night, and proceeds to go on and on about others she listens to. I told her that the investment stuff on Dave's show is a bit of a stretch (I don't think we will go where he suggests we will go), but that his other content is a fairly good summary of what I read on GAW. I encourage her to check us out to get the full story.

So, fren, if you made it here tonight and are reading this post, welcome home. And thanks for comping my scotch. Unnecessary but very much appreciated. Keep the faith, join hands with the faithful. WWG1WGA
