Shell Falls: Bighorn National Forest, September 2003 On our way to South Dakota from Yellowstone, we drove over the Bighorn Mountains on U.S. Highway 14, the Bighorn Scenic Byway. And was it ever scenic. My nickname for Rachelle is Chelle, so it was only natural for us to stop to admire the 120-foot Shell Falls.

All Possess Alike Liberty of Conscience…

The Citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for having given to mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal policy: a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights. For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.

—George Washington: Letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island

Staying Alive

I’ve seen it quite a bit among startups — they spend more time developing the product than they do running it after they launch it. Several have followed the same pattern: build, build, build, launch, quit.

But you’ve got to keep with it to gain momentum. It doesn’t usually just build overnight, it takes time. Keep building your product, and eventually you gain momentum and a critical mass of people who know about you and tell others about you.
