Who's heard of the delicatessen, Zingerman's?
Well, neither had I until recently. But trust me, once you learn about this small business, you'll be itching to know more. At least this was the case for me and why I felt compelled to read their book, A Lapsed Anarchist's Approach to Building a Great Business.
So who and what is Zingerman's? Inc Magazine calls Zingerman's "The Coolest Small Company in America" – and after what I learned about them (even without ever having visited one of their stores) I'd have to agree. For this GoodRead, I will share many of the principles from this book that I agree with so completely that one could hardly not notice the similarities between my business, GoodLife Team, and Zingerman's.
Now, please don't take this the wrong way – in no way am I claiming to have a business in even the same hemisphere as Zingerman's when it comes to success! BUT, I discovered that many of the foundational principles that Zingerman's is built upon are the same that I have used to found GoodLife Team. Perhaps this is why I am now in LOVE with this company and why I plan to make a special trip simply to experience, in person, what's described in this book.
A Lapsed Anarchist's Approach to Building a Great Business is authored by one of the partners, Ari Weinzweig. Often asked for the "secrets" behind the Zingerman's success, Weinzweig shares 18 essays that he claims are the "Secret Sauce" of their brand. In these essays Weinzweig goes into great detail about how they have built their company and does, in fact, reveal the secrets to its successful operation. If you are looking to build a great business, you must read this book.
In my book report below on Weinzweig's Building a Great Business, I have picked out my favorite Zingerman's "Laws of Success" and peppered them with my own beliefs, perspectives and "Aha's."
"Great Things come in Small Packages"
Nearly 30 years ago, Zingerman's started with two partners, Paul Saginaw and Ari Weinzweig, two staff members and two loans. It has since grown to a staff of over 500 and annual sales in excess of $40 million.
Weinzweig opens the book with this brief background, and begins by explaining that most people visiting their stores for the first, after hearing the "big stories" of "big success," anticipate walking into a massive restaurant and/or an enormous upscale, gourmet supermarket. Each of these visitors inevitably dons a look of surprise upon arrival coupled with the common comment, "Wow. This is really a lot smaller than I thought it would be!" From the very beginning, Zingerman's intention has never been to be the 'Biggest,' only the 'BEST.
I love this intention, as it is our GoodLife motto as well. We, too, could care less about becoming the biggest brokerage in Austin, TX. In fact, our mantra is "Be Small on Purpose." This is counter to the majority of our competitors' philosophies – Most are primarily concerned with growing their Agent count, meaning they focus on recruiting the numbers. At GoodLife Team, we only want the best professionals on our Team; those individuals who wish to be part of a company concerned about being great, not big.
More Units
Due to the huge success of their local delicatessen, what do you think is a regular question asked of the Zingerman's founders? You guessed it, "When will you Franchise?"
The American Growth Model is that when you build one successful store, the way you scale your success is by opening MORE UNITS, first locally and then steadily across the country. For Zingerman's, however, success is derived from providing high-quality food and 5-Star customer service. Weinzweig and Sanigaw could never picture the possibility of converting a one-of-a-kind business, famous for this high quality and unique personality, into a cookie-cutter franchised model.
As a result, Zingerman's moved in a different direction from the recognized franchise disclaimer "Individually Owned and Operated," and invented a path all their own. The Zingerman's growth model is called ZCoB, which stands for Zingerman's Community of Businesses. The entire suite of 10 Zingerman's "local" food businesses reside in the Ann Arbor area, each operated by a passionate and persistent "managing partner."
Boy, does this resonate with me! Due to the local success of The GoodLife Team, I am frequently asked those same 4 words, "When will you Franchise?" I always respond with a one word answer, "Never." Now, I've been told to never say never, and perhaps one unforeseen day I will eat that word, but today franchising is not part of our plan. Why? For the exact same reason that Zingerman's declined to follow the 'normal' growth model; we have something special here at GoodLife Team.
First, GoodLife Team's structure is opposite from the traditional real estate model. This means that in order to adopt our brand as a franchise owner, one would have to let go of everything they currently know about the real estate brokerage – as the traditional approach can't be retrofit into our Model. Due to the meaning of the words "Independently Owned and Operated," we would also maintain little to no control over the required full adoption of the GoodLife way of practicing real estate. In addition, I can't picture how our strong, collaborative and distinctive GoodLife culture could be transferred to other independent owners, who then transfer it to their agents. It doesn't work that way.
What makes my Team unique is that we are one unit at GoodLife Team, one unit committed to greatness for the sake of living a good life. Our philosophy won't work for a many-unit model. As my CTO Jack Miller would say, "That dog won't hunt!"
Natural Laws of Building a Great Business
Just as we must obey the Natural Laws (the consequences of challenging gravity are not pretty), there are certain foundational laws of business that must be followed. These Natural Laws of Business don't necessarily guarantee success, but if disregarded increase the likelihood of failure. Zingerman's is a company built solidly upon these laws, which they consider to be truths of business. By the success of their results, I think we can consider them to be true as well. The Zingerman's Laws of Business say that any business must have a vision, a mission and core company values.
Have a Vision
What becomes indisputable by the end of the book is that Zingerman's is a company with a clear vision. And, beyond its clarity, their vision is inspiring! Weinzweig goes into great detail about the importance of not just having a company vision, but also of writing it down and holding it close. He says,
What happens when you don't have a vision? Imagine I asked you to prepare for a long trip, but I didn't tell you where we were going. It would be pretty tough to get ready, wouldn't it? Or, pretend you're trying to plot a course at sea without knowing what the ultimate destination is. Impossible, right? In either case, hard work, commitment and all the best intentions in the world aren't going to be enough to attain success. Without a clear picture of where you are headed, about the only chance you have of being successful is just that, chance.
Weinzweig describes Vision as an inspiring and strategically sound picture of your chosen future. A vision is specific and addresses what you do, how big you are and may even include how you work together. This is the Zingerman's Vision:
- • To Be Better Tomorrow than Today
- • Grow Locally into 12-18 Vibrant Businesses
- • Radically Better Food
- • Radically Better Service
- • Radically Better Finance
- • Intentional Technology
- • A Fun Place to Work
- • An Educational Destination
- • Committed to Success organization-wide
At GoodLife Team, we too have a Vision for what we want to achieve. After reading about Zingerman's Vision, however, I realize ours isn't specific or long-term enough, so, I now know I have some work to do.
Zingerman's has a clear vision, but in addition to that, they attribute much of their company's success to a standard practice they call Visioning. Visioning is a part of their creation process; visioning is beginning with the end in mind. Whereas the normal process begins with the present and works out a path forward, the Zingerman's visioning process starts with what success looks like and then works backwards. This shifts the moods from the normal act of problem solving to what they call "Preferred Futuring." This infuses participants with creative energy, leading to a free flow in of innovative ideas. Only after they create the Vision, does Zingerman's work on the strategic plan.
I LOVE this idea so much that we have adopted it hear at GoodLife Team. After using this method for our two latest projects I can tell you that it's a powerful tool (and fun!). Visioning is a great way to bring the pragmatics and creatives together to produce a far more powerful strategy that enables everyone to truly visuals what success look like. After visioning, the work towards your goals is a completely different kind of experience.
Picture it this way: It's like visualizing your trip to France before you take one action to plan the trip – what do you see yourself doing, who will you be doing it with, what do the French cafe's look like, what will the French food taste like, what does the French bread smell like, are there people around a large table laughing and drinking French Bourdouis teaching you how to ask for more wine in French? What is your mood, how do you feel, what will you read, how will you journal, what will be in the photographs… Once you complete the vision, then you start planning the trip – probably very excited to do the work of putting the trip together in order to get closer to the experience you have in your vision.
In this book, Weinzweig discusses the key components of Zingerman's and what really makes their business great. These include 5 important pieces:
1. Vision
2. Mission
3. Culture
4. Systems
5. Quality
If you have not thought about these for your business yet, I highly recommend sitting down to think about and map out your own business plan, and to read about developing it from the experts, Zingerman's.
What is your Mission?
Zingerman's believes you can't have a strong company without an inspirational Mission. What is a Mission? Do you have one for your business? Your mission, according to Zingerman's, should answer the questions, "What do we do? Why do we do it? Who are we that we are doing it? Who are we doing it for?" This is what Zingerman's came up with when answering the questions for themselves:
They exist to bring the Zingerman's experience to as many people as possible:
• Why? Because they believe that if they do their jobs well, everyone is better off and it's a rewarding way to live
• Who? They are people who work at Zingerman's
• Who for? For their guests, themselves, the community and the folks who make the great foods
Which developed into this Mission:
• We share the Zingerman's Experience
• Selling Food that Makes you Happy
• Giving Service that Makes You Smile
• In Passionate Pursuit of our Mission
• Showing Love and Care in All of our Actions
• To Enrich as Many Lives as We Can.
At Zingerman's, it's everyone's job to fulfill on the mission. No one can get away with saying, "That's not my job," as their culture is built around the principle of doing whatever it takes to fulfill on the mission.
What is guiding you?
Weinzweig spends a lot of time in this book speaking about the importance of company Principles – what guides the thoughts and actions of the Company (other companies name their principles Core Values or Ethics of the business). My question to you is, "Do you have core values that guide you and your business?" Zingerman's specifies their Guiding Principles as:
• Great Food
• Great Service
• A Great Place to Shop and Eat
• Solid Profits
• A Great Place to Work
• Strong Relationships
• A Place to Learn
• An Active part of the Community
Like Zappos, Zingerman's believes strongly in the necessity of Core Values, which includes the idea that trying to balance work and home is misplaced. Where Zappos describes it as Work/Life Integration, Weinzweig says at Zingerman's they think of life as all one life – meaning one life has no need to balance. They are intentional about hiring only people who match their values, which translates to a company of like-minded people who love where they work because their personal values are aligned with their professional values.
Again, I couldn't agree more as, at GoodLife Team, we hire to our core values or principles. We are passionate about our core values, which are spoken regularly by everyone in the company; our core values are the Culture of our company. These values are spoken and practiced at the top, and then carried out throughout the entire company. They are so present in our everyday practice that it becomes pretty obvious pretty fast when one of our employees or agents doesn't fit. We have a total of 8 Core Values that are the guiding principles of GoodLife Team. I think it's our cross alignment between personal and professional values, spoken and practiced from top to bottom, that is our secret to success.
And, like Zappos and Zingerman's, I also believe that a line between personal and professional does not exist. I don't believe that life has separate compartments where you can move through each separate part. To me, the passion for life comes from living it all at once! This means life is full and sometimes messy, but when the values are set and the ambition is pure, the joy becomes the journey of taking on each and every day to produce the outcomes you want for your life – a healthy body, a healthy mind and spirit, a healthy family, and a healthy business and career. One doesn't take priority over another because they all just are. Life is about taking care of all of them all the time, with sometimes more emphasis placed on one more than another.
Is your Culture by Design or Default?
Zingerman's describes culture as the way they live every day – it's the personality of the company. And, if Zingerman's has anything, it's personality! So much so that they are often asked, "How did you find this great group who care like they do and bring so much fun to their work?" People talk about it as if Zingerman's has been gifted with an unfair share of great people who just happened to wind up there.
Weinzweig describes how Zingerman's culture, different than many others that are created from neglect, is a result of conscious intent. The culture, derived from their guiding principles, is clearly defined, taught, lived, measured and then rewarded. They even have a "fun quotient" as a measure to ensure that in their pursuit of company greatness, they never lose the playfulness they are known for.
One thing I am most proud of at GoodLife Team is our strong culture. We are a small company, but we exude a vibrant BIG energy. Like Zingerman's, when people walk into our office for the first time, they notice something different. Our culture is recognizable – most frequently by others in the industry who wonder at our packed house of agents in the office every day. Day in and day out, we are working, laughing and serving.
If you visit our office and attend our 9:03, you will be asked to "ring the rooster" and "run the gauntlet." We work hard with a rigor and passion that is uncommon and essential to holding our 7th core value true – "Enjoy the Journey." We are a weird group, which is what causes the bond and love between everyone on the Team.
It's a Question of Systems
Weinzweig describes systems as the "formal procedures created and used by Zingerman's employees to accomplish the daily work." He suggests the people of an organization (culture) and the systems of the company are like the two weighing pans on a balance scale; that organizations work best when the people and systems are in or near balance. You may have great people working for you, but if they lack the support of good systems it is inevitable they'll burn out over time.
On the other hand, if you have excellent systems without great people you find yourself with similar failings within the company. Zingerman's attributes their good balance as the secret behind their success. The Vision, Mission, and Guiding Principles attract the right people and their systems enable great employees to perform well at their job.
Zingerman's says their systems, while providing effective structure and support, bring out the brainpower of the people involved, enabling them to consistently deliver excellent customer service their competitors can't match. Weinzweig explains that through their systematic use of technology and tools they are able to attract better, smarter, winning people who want to do great work, which in turn can only be enhanced by smart systems.
Again, I fall right in line with the Zingerman's philosophy. Oftentimes I describe GoodLife Team as a system and, as I mentioned earlier, there is a GoodLife way of doing things. That means that in order to work here you must follow our system. This is one thing that clearly differentiates us from other real estate brokerages. In an industry where as the norm every real estate agent working in a brokerage chooses their own suite of tools and creates their own systems (or not), at GoodLife Team we all use the same suite of technology. We all use the tools the same way and we all follow the systems put in place.
Like Zingerman's, we believe that the best people wish to have the best tools, and unless they are systems people, they'd rather not invent them – just use them powerfully. And, in our experience, great real estate agents aren't systems designers. In addition, we know that we can ONLY fulfill on our core value # 5 – 5-Star Customer Experience – by having tight systems in place. When I think about it, Zingerman's is right – in thinking about my business, our success is a combination of our amazing people and kickass systems and tools.
Quality Beyond the Cliché
I will guess that by now you've ascertained that Zingerman's is not your average small business. They have set a very high bar few other small business owners are willing or able to match based on the work required to produce similar success for themselves. Zingerman's admits they could probably make more money by sacrificing quality, but in exchange they would give up what makes them special, or the magic behind their brand. Zingerman's stands for quality. They don't cut corners. They represent the overused cliché, "Going the Extra Mile." They go beyond the norm in order to produce a customer experience, both for their patrons and employees, that is 5-Star. And although they don't physically exist outside of Ann Arbor, Michigan, they are a brand that is recognized and admired across the world.
At GoodLife Team, we too are committed to quality. Our agent to staff ratio is 3:1. Yes, we have 1 staff member for every 3 agents. This means we spend a lot more money than the typical brokerage in order to ensure a quality of service that we not only promise with our words, but also fulfill with our actions.When we say we exist to take care of our customers with superior care, we mean it. Sure, we could make more money doing it the traditional way, but that's not good enough for us.
Zingerman's is my business role model. They are proving that great people doing excellent work really does equal success. Combined with their commitment to making the world a better place through great work and a clear vision, mission, and core principles, Zingerman's stands for quality and success. They are an example that real success can be achieved by simply following the natural laws of business.
I have covered just a few key points illustrated in the book, and there is an enormous amount of exceptional content I just simply couldn't cover. I highly recommend this book for all small business owners, especially those who have a natural attraction to the strange and different, the trendsetters who wish to build something unconventional and special. I also recommend it to those looking for a guide as they create their own business vision, mission and core values. In this book, you will not only find an explanation of what each Natural Law of Business means, but you will also be generously offered the real Zingerman's examples of each that have created them into a $40 million local business. It's an absolute MUST-READ!

Commentary: Romani actors should boycott Czech cop show over antigypsyist content
The Czech TV station TV Prima and its program "Police in Action" (Policie v akci) are being discussed on Romani-related Facebook pages in the Czech Republic. Once again, the channel is not exactly getting rave reviews.
"Today, after a long time, I once again saw the Police in Action program on TV Prima - and I was absolutely horrified. I've only seen it twice, but both times, Romani people have been depicted there as animals stealing mobile phones, mugging a women at knifepoint, etc.," posted the anonymous administrator of the Facebook page called "The Roma of the Czech Republic Vote" (Romové-České republiky-volí).
The Facebook critic is not doubting whether such things actually happen, but is of the opinion that almost all such cases are due to "Romani junkies who are addicted to drugs, which the rest of us Roma are naturally not proud of at all! HOWEVER, there is a 'but' here! What is the purpose of this program? To spark even more animosity among the majority society against us? Are there too few drug addicts, murderers or pedophiles from the majority society for TV Prima to show them? The purpose is clear, it is to constantly confirm to the majority society that we Roma will never improve, that we are just criminals."
According to the Facebook critic, TV Prima is not thinking at all about the kind of hatred they are feeding in those members of the population who are either brainless or racist - a hatred so great that from time to time these wretches pick up a Molotov cocktail and set a Romani home on fire. The commentator tells an anecdote about actors boycotting such productions from the world of film: "I heard or read somewhere that when the film RAMBO II was being made with Sylvester Stallone, and Rambo was meant to be killing people in Vietnam, the Vietnamese refused to perform in it, out of pride, and the director had to look for actors in Cambodia and the Philippines to play the Vietnamese characters. In this country, all it takes is an execrable mini-fee, a couple of hundred dirty crowns, and a Romani person loses his ROMIPEN and plays the role of a social case or a degeš while thinking he's a star, shaming his mother and father, his family, and all Roma."
For that reason, the Facebook critic said he believes anybody Romani who performs in this program on TV Prima is betraying his fellow Roma.

Fingal Head, NSW
I would rate fan-shaped waves like these one of the hardest to capture, especially given the rarity of where and when they form. The conditions have to be just right for the wave to compress and shoot up into the air in this stunning fan shape. Some might even liken it to a fish tail or perhaps even a mermaid tail. What do you see?

Category: Revelation 19
Revelation 19:19 The Fiery Lake
The world will try to convince us that resistance is futile but we must remember, deep in our hearts, that Jesus can make war against the end-time beast, and defeat him, and cast him into the fiery lake. The light will conquer the darkness. And the whole earth will give a jubilant sigh of collective relief!
Revelation 19:17 Armageddon
This is not for the faint-hearted. Some will attempt to dilute this down to nothing by suggesting that Armageddon is a metaphor of the inner struggle between light and darkness that takes place in the hearts of men. The Battle of Armageddon is as real as the First and Second World War, as real as the Battle for Ukraine and all the other countless wars that go unreported around the world. The horror of the description of Armageddon matches the horror of the Cross which matches the horror of the sin of fallen man.
Revelation 19:16 King of kings and Lord of lords
In the end-times, the antichrist will bring together ten nations that will assemble to invade Jerusalem. They will be ultimately defeated by Christ Jesus and his armies in the series of conflicts that comprise the Battle of Armageddon. The rebellious nations that have given their allegiance to the antichrist and dared to march against Jerusalem will pay the ultimate price. They will be decisively crushed. There will only ever be one king. His name is Jesus!
Revelation 19:12 Many Crowns
Christ Jesus came to earth as a humble servant. He is returning as a conquering King with full authority. He is, quite simply, the King of kings and Lord of lords.
Revelation 19:12 Walking In the Light
Fallen man has made his darkened mark upon this world but the light of King Jesus will shatter the darkness of this world and cast the shadows into the sea.
Revelation 19:11a Justice
The enemy has brought nothing but evil into this world. The perfect righteousness of God has no other course but to bring judgement against him and his followers.
Revelation 19:11 Faithful and True
Our testimony is that Jesus has been faithful and true and stood alongside, through every storm that has been thrown at us, and never let go of us ever!
Revelation 19:10 The Testimony of Jesus…
One understanding of the testimony of Jesus is that he will return as the radiant King; and he will bring peace and righteousness to this earth when he establishes his kingdom and reigns from Jerusalem.
Revelation 19:9 Invited
The Church as a whole will be invited to the wedding as a corporate being but we will also be invited as individuals, by virtue of our personal salvation that we have received.For many of us who are not usually invited to high-society events and who are often left out and behind, this comes as a blessing indeed!
Revelation 19:7 Eager Anticipation
In the same way, we are called to look forward to the day when we meet with Christ Jesus, on the day that he returns in power and glory. He is our blessed hope and our lives lived here on earth should be directed towards this coming moment.
Revelation 19:7 A Wedding!
I pray that we will live out our salvation with fear and trembling, and walk closely with our Lord, that we might walk with confidence and reassurance, knowing that we will be warmly welcomed and honoured as a guest, wearing the white robes of righteousness.
Revelation 19:6 Hollering With Joy
This side of glory, we pass through victories and defeats, as we march faithfully on. But even the most stoic and conservative amongst us might be forgiven here for 'hollerin and a hooterin' around the yard and throwing his hat up wildly in the air!
Revelation 19:1 Salvation, glory and power.
God has been merciful and looked down upon us, the fragile jars of clay, and blessed us with His salvation, glory and power.We might shout 'hallelujah' with good reason!

New Planning Application to Fell Oaks
Southwark Highways Department has now put in a new planning application to fell the oak trees. The reference number is 20/AP/3632 and can be reached from the Southwark planning register. Comments can be made until 10th January 2021.
The application proposal is: " 2 x Mature Oaks - Fell due to damage and obstruction to bridge repair"
We will be objecting to it on these core grounds:
- No evidence has been provided that the tree roots have caused damage to the bridge.
- The trees are only an obstruction to the current repair design. There are alternative ways of repairing the bridge which do not require their removal and which would have a lower impact on the nature reserve altogether.
- The value of the trees in terms of amenity (CAVAT value £242,000), biodiversity, carbon capture and sequestration, air purification etc has not been taken into account.
- The effect of the removal of the trees on the stability of the slope has not been properly assessed, and is likely to cause further problems with the bridge.
- Taking into account the above two issues, the removal of the trees would not be the best use of public money to achieve the long term repair of the bridge that the Council says it wants.
I know this is a busy time of year, but if you are able to put in an objection to the planning application on the above or any other grounds, it would be most useful. More details supporting the above points can be found in Notes on 20AP3632. For those who want to delve deeper into the documents attached to the planning application, here is a description of what they all are.
Please note the following information about making comments, taken from the Southwark Planning website:
As the Planning Register (Public Access) is not a discussion forum, any comments received which are in response to comments by other consultees will not be published online or made public in any other way. For your comment to be published and taken into account when the final decision is made, it must not directly refer to comments made by others.
Earlier this week we also submitted a formal complaint to LB Southwark over the process used by the Highways Department to assess the alternative engineering design for the repair of Cox's Walk Footbridge given to the Council by this Campaign, and the conduct and status of the meeting that followed, which had been presented by the Council as a public forum to discuss this alternative design. The assessment and meeting were used to inform the councillor and officer team tasked with the decision regarding the repairs for the Cox's Walk Footbridge. As you know, this decision was to proceed with the Council's original design although there were still outstanding issues with both their proposed repair and their assessment of our alternative. We have been told that we will receive a level one response to our complaint from the Highways Department by 6th January 2021. This is the first stage of the complaints procedure.
Many thanks to you all for your continuing support, feedback and great ideas this year. I especially want to thank the direct action team without whom those trees would have been felled a month ago; the engineers, architect and arboriculturists who showed us that an alternative which kept the trees really was possible; those who made that proposal possible by backing the crowdfunder; and last but not least, the enthusiastic researchers who find brilliant arguments to try to pull Southwark Council's head out of the sand and face up to the realities of the Climate Emergency.
Wishing you all as Merry a Christmas as Covid-19 will allow. At least we can share the gift of knowing that the oak trees are still standing. And Best Wishes for a Better 2021.
There are no comments on this update yet.

"Two things, look Man City are favourites, I think most people in the room would think City would win the league," Jamie Carragher said on the Overlap YouTube channel.
"I think, there's a couple of things that I'm maybe hanging on to with Liverpool is the fact that, I think once Virgil van Dijk was up to speed last season – you got the first three or four months out of the season – in the second half of the season, him and the goalkeeper [Alisson Becker] were absolutely what you would expect them to be and what they've been for the last three or four years.
"If you get them [Liverpool] at their best, at the very sort of start at the season, and don't forget, every season van Dijk has been at Liverpool a full season, Liverpool have got over 90 points and the other thing is that Liverpool have got sort of three or four top players.
"I don't know about City to be honest; it might be the same, not going to the World Cup. So, Luis Díaz is not going, [Mohamed] Salah's not going.
"I don't really know City, but there's a few decent players sort of from Liverpool I think, you know, could that make a difference in the second half of the season."
Liverpool have a number of injuries coming into the season but crucially, none of the irreplaceable players is ruled out for too long.
As for the effect of the World Cup, we'll only truly find out about it in the second part of the season, after the competition takes place in Qatar with plenty of Premier League players involved.

Sorry about that, no offence meant. I learned a few things about parts warranties this morning.
Eeuroparts (site sponsor) offers a 1-year warranty on a new OEM DIC.
Another source offers 2 years.
The "official" Saab parts supplier offers 3 years - but it is conditional: the part must be installed by a "Saab dealer" or an "OSC" - official service center. If you live here in western NY state, you have a choice of exactly one OSC: a GMC dealer in Buffalo, where I presume no sane Saab owner would ever go for service these days. If you live in Boston, f'rinstance, you can go to that big Volve/Saab place.
The nice folks at Boston Volvo suggested I call Saab Customer Service - amazed that there is actually still such a thing! I had a fairly long conversation with a woman there, and she told me that she thinks the Eeuroparts warranty might be more than 1 year - she's going to call me back.
Not trying to beat this to death. It took me like 15 minutes to swap out a DIC the last time I did it.
I don't begrudge the indy a half hour's labor, but sometimes it's nice to do some Saab maintenance yourself - and save a little $$ in the end.

Welcome to another Wednesday, Daily Money readers! Jayme Deerwester back with you.
I'll start today's newsletter with some good news for Taco Bell lovers. If you didn't get a chance to enjoy the brief return of Mexican Pizza this summer, you'll get another shot in the fall. The dish – seasoned beef and refried beans layered between two tortilla shells with a "Mexican Pizza sauce," a three-cheese blend and diced tomatoes – is returning to the fast food chain's menu for good starting Sept. 15.
Earlier this week, we warned you that inflation has driven up the prices of school supplies by 8% compared to last year. Well, you can mitigate those costs a little by timing your back-to-school shopping to coincide with you state's tax holiday, a brief window in which sales tax is suspended on books, computers, clothing and other school supplies. See if your state has a tax holiday and when it's scheduled.

As recession concerns grow, consider these silver linings
After two straight negative quarters, the economy now has entered what many observers consider recession territory. But will you suffer financially as a result? Not necessarily, as recessions help to ease inflationary pressures and other imbalances, laying the seeds for future growth. And while few people welcome economic downturns, but there are a few potential silver linings:
- Job losses might not be severe. Coming off today's low jobless levels, at a time when millions of Americans don't want or need to work, we may see less than the usual amount of hand-wringing.
- Money will keep flowing in. Social Security and pension recipients will continue to receive their benefits and the vast majority of workers will remain employed.
- Prices will stabilize and possibly drop. A recession also would likely put a damper on inflation. This is, after all, the main objective of recent Federal Reserve interest-rate hikes. It may already be working: Gas prices dropped 14% over the six weeks through July 22.
Asset prices will fall, then rebound. Stock prices invariably make up more ground following recessions than they lose – usually, a lot more. And they start advancing before the storm clouds lift.
🎧 Mood music 🎧
In honor of Mexican Pizza's return, I've chosen Rhett and Link's "Fast Food Folk Song," which name-drops the dish.
"Mmmm, mmmm, Mexican Pizza. We'll take two of those, But please hold the diced tomatoes. And I admit, I've always felt like I'm in love with the Meximelt."
