SECOND POT OF COFFEE THOUGHTS


·      How did the comic books we hid from our parents warp into an 8 billion dollar (and counting) business at the movie theaters and toy stores?

·      It seems that the empty store fronts are growing in Washington and that the new businesses that do open are marginal.  Why not give a developer whatever incentives it takes to start a renovation project in the City.

·      With the recent social acceptance of expanded health care, gay rights and the apparent death knell of capital punishment, can meaningful gun control laws be far behind?

·      Why do I still prefer a hard cover book at twice the price to the same new read on my kindle?

·      Wash Arts is a remarkable community resource.  If you can teach a class in the creative arts, call the office.  When your program is set up, enthusiastic students will follow.

·      The millennial generation is finally approaching the age of home buying, marriage and child rearing.  Adjust your stock portfolio accordingly.

·      The enhanced schedule and funding for the Whiskey Rebellion Festival and the farmers market will continue to bring seasonal foot traffic to the City of Washington. This is not enough for capital intensive business owners to set up shop.  They need a year round commitment from the County to sell the City.

·      A Joe Sestak victory to replace Senator Pat Toomey in 2016 would not only be of great importance to those who want to elect a thoughtful liberal in Pennsylvania, it would also be a crucial win for the democrats to retake the Senate.


·       What do members of Congress, hedge fund operators and foreign dictators have in common?  All three are held in low esteem, do little for the common good and use their positions to accumulate undeserved wealth.
