Palmer Bits

[Rozella Dibley]

PalmerBit Co., in Williston, North Dakota, manufactures drill bits for Geothermal, Geo-Technical, water well, seismic, and mining drilling purposes. The company has made a few international sales over the years, but Kevin Christensen, company owner, decided to get proactive about exporting and enrolled in ExporTech, which took place in Dickinson, North Dakota.

As icing on the cake, Palmer Bit secured new business immediately following ExporTech, with immediate sales of $29,600, including a sale to Australia, which was identified as a top export country in the comprehensive market research study and Matrix provided by the U.S. Commercial Service. Through its participation in ExporTech, Palmer Bit transformed from a reactive exporter to a company with an aggressive export expansion plan and is already well on its way to dramatic export success.

Bits may be the fundamental building blocks of digital data, but at the moment, all bits are not equal. Everyone charges different amounts for bits. And, the people who decide how to tax them, tend to tax the services, not the bits. Should we differentiate between bits that are taxed and bits that are simply charged for? Are all bits taxable?

Up until now, there was absolutely nothing wrong with this system. After all, water comes to us in many different packages and it is either free or expensive depending upon its availability and its packaging. Why should bits be any different? Are bits a scarce resource? Should they be treated as such?

In the real world (the one we currently live in) all bits are not created equal. Many will convincingly argue that they should never be. Phone calls are different from television shows which are different from Internet browsing which is different from video gaming which is different from gambling which is different from ecommerce, etc., etc.

She had eyelashes like a movie star, which made everyone jealous. She had chubby cheeks and rolly-polly arms and legs. Her skin was like porcelain, and she had a sweet dimple to her right cheek that she curled upward when she was flustered, but most of all, she had bits and pieces of her mom and dad, that made Bryn the special girl she came to be in this world.

In such a short time, Brynlee was called to Heaven. She has touched the hearts and lives of many, and her life will live on forever. She is now running in the wind, dancing in the rain, and giggling nonstop in the comforts of Heaven. Sweet girl, you may be gone, but you will never be forgotten. Dream BIG Little Girl. Until we meet again . . .
