Hi Folks.

As of 8:30 this morning I am fully back and still alive. I kept my power on all during and after the storm but the internet died Wednesday night and didn't return until this morning. Given all the death and devastation linked to Hurricane Milton, I'm not complaining and am fully aware of how blessed I've been throughout this ordeal.

So the Economic Forecast will go out on time tomorrow (I was really thinking it wouldn't happen since my ISP sent me an email on Friday saying we'll get to it when we get to it.)

And at some point today I intend to send you all a detailed email about the book that is coming out soon. I tried to do this earlier in the week but hurricane prep kept getting in the way.

And to all of you who wrote to me in the last 72 hours sending prayers and best wishes I say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Knowing there is that much concern and support out there in the big bad world really makes me feel more than a little bit special.

So onward and upwards.

Jeff
