Friend.
I picked up the phone today.
I did not decide to.
My hand just did it.
I had something to tell them.
Something small.
Something I knew
they would find funny.
My thumb was already moving.
And then I remembered.
I stood there
with the phone in my hand
for a long time.
It is strange
how the heart
keeps dialing
long after the mind
has stopped.
I put the phone down.
And I told them anyway.
Quietly.
Out loud.
To the empty room.
I do not know
if that is foolish.
But it helped.
— Hank
P.S. Someone you know could use a quiet hour.
Send them this newsletter.
When the quiet gets too loud,
The Porch: Pieces for a Broken Heart
is waiting.

Why Overseas Producers Can't Undercut Atlas Salt, Even for Free
Cities are already running short on road salt, and winter hasn't even started. Some supply bids are going unanswered, prices have nearly doubled in parts of the market, and the backup plan is two weeks away by boat. Here's why Atlas Salt (TSXV: SALT | OTCQX: SALQF) can get salt to the people who need it most, faster and cheaper than anyone shipping from overseas:
• Three days by ship to Boston, not fourteen
• Shallow deposit that's cheaper and faster to mine
• Projected C$188M a year in free cash flow
• Export Development Canada interested in lending C$150M
• Early supply deal with top U.S. salt distributor
