Who trusts me?

Did you ever set-up an account for yourself at WhoTrustsYou.com?
 
I did a number or years ago after reading the book that goes with the site, The Speed of Trust, by Stephen Covey.
Thing of it is, I keep getting people that somehow find and take my survey every quarter or so, but I have no idea how they find my link anymore.
Weird, and kind of intriguing.
 
These are my current results based on what others see:
 
Here's What Others Say
Character:
84%
 
Competence:
84%
Others Trust You:
90%
You Consistently Interact in a Way that Builds Trust:
86%
 
Your "Trustability" with Others:
86%
 
86%... that seems like a solid "B" to me.
I'll take it.

Quote of the Day

There is a part of every human soul that is rotten. It appears when we lash out in anger; when we attack in the guise of self-defense; or when we pile lie upon lie to keep the past hidden. And that part of ourselves grows or diminishes in measure to how we indulge those impulses. - Joe Lindsey

Freestyle Frozen Yogurt, Hudson, WI

Did you know there was something new in frozen yogurt? I didn't, but was happy to be introduced to this place. Everything is self-serve and sold by weight. You can choose from about a dozen flavors and ~50 toppings. If you don't like what you eat, it's your own fault.

The location is also unique (surfboard tables) and family friendly (dance floor in the back)...they even give out free bracelets for kids and adult kids. Lastly, you can choose to "freestyle" your price and potentially get all of it for free. You don't see that very often.

This place is a win and a must-stop if you're in Hudson or St. Paul.

Nothing happens unless first we dream

Salsa Chili Con Crosso

A gorgeous frame and a sprinkling of new blue parts makes a great looking frame swap project for the middle of winter...can't wait to ride it either.

Seasons Greetings From My Building

I thought I would let my fellow residents' door decorations brighten your holiday season. These were the best...lots of wreaths didn't make the cut. My favorite was the blue one.

My gut tells me I can do this for every holiday too.
