It is with a heavy heart that I write this tribute to the OldProf , Jeff Miller, who passed from this life on May 7, 2021.
I have know Jeff for a little more than 12 years. We started to trade communications about each other s blog articles at Seeking Alpha a few months after I started writing on that site in 2008. Jeff was already a seasoned veteran there, having been a contributor since 2006. I quickly discovered that he was more than just a stock jockey , but a keen student of many factors affecting the economy in general and investments in particular.
I have a distinct memory of Jeff challenging me to be more disciplined in my attempts to understand the employment numbers being reported in 2009 during The Great Financial Crisis. I learned a lot about the Bureau of Labor Statistics processes at that time because Jeff knew them in exacting detail and had personal contacts on the BLS staff.

Spencer, IA (KICD) Electric-powered bicycles will soon be allowed on Spencer’s trail system. City Administrator Amanda Mack says motorcycles and ATVs will still be prohibited, however.
Park and Rec Director Jared Elbert explained to councilman George Moriarty 20 miles per hour seems to be what other cities have already adopted.
The full Spencer city council voted to change the rule. It takes effect July 1st, giving the city time to post new signage.
