Vote Today -- April 7, 2015

Background is here.

The zoning committee on the Williams County Commission is supposed to vote tonight on this $500 million project. Approved! See this post.

Also, aren't they voting in Chicago today for the old mayor or a new mayor? -- it looks like the incumbent will win/won.

Can Hardly Wait!

SeekingAlpha is reporting:

Summary:
  • Apple is fairly new to the dividend game as the dividend was reinstated in the summer of 2012D
  • dividends have grown by 11% annually since the reintroduction
  • expect a dividend increase of 15% later in April
The writer writes:
If we use the average analyst estimate of EPS for the current fiscal year of $8.64 as a basis and apply a conservative payout ratio of 25%, we get an annual dividend of $2.16 and a quarterly dividend of $0.54 per share. That would translate into a raise of 14.9%.
It will be interesting to see how close he comes.

Is This April? Quick -- Call The Kennedys

The Bismarck Tribune is reporting:
Wintry weather moving across North Dakota this week gave residents of Kenmare a post-Easter surprise.
Residents of the northwestern community woke up Monday to find 14 inches of snow on the ground.
National Weather Service officials say the town was in the path of a narrow band of heavy snowfall that passed through late Sunday and early Monday. They say it's an unusual event and doesn't really have an explanation.

Meanwhile, Out Our Backdoor

This morning I took the youngest granddaughter for a stroller ride. It's hard to believe that despite being surrounded by all this 21st century development, there's a wonderful creek -- almost right outside our back door. 

The picture may not do it justice, but it's a beautiful creek.


In 70 million years, it could be another Grand Canyon.
