I just got a nice email about Bob from one of his clients.

I had a lot of great things to say about him. I think he walks on water.

Our quote of today comes from Thomas J. Stanley, a millionaire next door fame, who said you can get rich, you can act rich, or actually become rich.

Few of us will ever be able to do both and we certainly won't get rich by acting the part before we have the financial resources with which to pay for La Dolce Vita.

Well, I think that's a great quote. There's a lot of truth to that. It's one or the other. You either become rich or you act rich.

The nice thing about becoming rich is you can then act rich just fine. But if you act rich first, you're probably never going to get there.

Thanks for what you do. Life's hard. It's getting harder in most parts of the US according to the news, including Utah here.

In fact, I am getting all kinds of condolence emails from people across the country saying they're really sorry about our terrible COVID situation here.

Now, our COVID situation is the worst it's been. I mean, when we came out of lockdown first of June, we were only having about 100 cases a day in the state.

And now we're getting closer to 2000 cases a day. So it's definitely worse. You know, I'm actually seeing COVID patients at work this week. I walked five shifts last week.

And I'll bet I saw six positive cases. And so it's certainly here and so certainly on our minds. But apparently what is triggering all these emails is the Salt Lake Tribune ran an article where they interviewed the head of the hospital associations, some people up at the university who are really raised in alarm about the situation in Utah.

And then of course, they got picked up the national news wires like CNN. And so they announced in this article here a group of administrators representing Utah's hospitals presented the governor with a list of criteria they propose doctors should use if they are forced to decide which patients can stay in overcrowded intensive care units.
