While driving to Dallas yesterday, I had what I thought was a good idea. I almost pulled over to the side of the road to register a domain name. By the time I got there a few hours later, I had talked myself out of it. Realized it was the equivalent of Trader Joe’s buying 7-11 so they could run it.

I’m trying to imagine what 7-11 would look like with Trader Joe’s running it. 🤨😄

in planning, we’ve long been salty about the demise of the corner grocery despite trying everything in our power from a land use and economic development perspective to encourage that anachronistic business model.
that’s a blade that cuts both ways.
sometimes it’s good to have a little reflection time before acting.
sometimes it’s better not to know how difficult the trail ahead will be when you set off.

@isaiahcarew.bsky.social Yep. Sometimes I think about the ideas that I abandoned because of uncertainty... Might've been better to just try it.
and then there’s all the little projects i’ve sunk 6 weeks on to realize it was all fool’s errand.
i think my only takeaway is that both are just part of the process.
