There’s a great detail in a recent news story about cross-border smuggling in a small northern township, where upstate New York meets Quebec.

Paying attention to where your business – or clients – come from helps you make decisions on where you should be spending your time and resources. When your client is still a prospect, do they find you through networking, advertising, speaking engagements, direct mail, or being referred to you? All of the ways a prospect finds you and then becomes a client are called lead generation sources, or “sources” for short.

“ Impact gardening ” is the evocative term used to describe surface disturbance—and potential biological effects—caused by the crashing of extraterrestrial objects into planetary bodies. [Image: The surface of Europa, including “the kind of areas churned by impact gardening.”].

Much of my family are farmers and I have many memories of running around in cornfields and riding in farm equipment.
