Daily Thoughts 08/05/2017

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I read some more of No One is Coming to Save Us by Stephanie Powell Watts.  The writing is excellent.  The structure and grammar is very crisp, orderly, and well put together.

I read a little bit more of Trend Trading for Dummies this morning.  I am reading about Elliott Waves and Fibonacci Numbers.  A. Wiley Brand describes how it is impossible to predict the market.  How the stock market moves can be measured with probability, not with certainty.

I worked a bit on the Libraries Ready to Code grant this morning.  I also worked on my final project for Planning and Management of Library Buildings.

I did a list of Job Information Center titles for Bookletters.

I entered a drawing to win a Spark Fun Inventors Kit and a Lilypad Kit
