Exciting Day

In case you are wondering, it's never good to have your office building surrounded by fire trucks. But, all told, this ended up not being as serious as this picture looks. We walked into our offices yesterday to the overwhelming smell of gasoline. After we called 911, we grabbed essentials (usb backups, cell phones & coffee :) and evacuated the building and watched as rescue teams from all over the area came to our rescue. Thankfully, it ended up not being anything too serious - just a gas spill in a unit directly below ours. Thank you to all who do a great job of protecting us - fire, police, emts, etc.

The other exciting part of the day was the news that the Fed is not increasing rates at this time. It was what was mostly expected at this meeting, but right now, there is so much uncertainty that it was somewhat of a relief for the meeting to be over and the markets seem to be reacting favorably to the decision.
