No. 7 • Blockbuster Declining Netflix • Seemed Smart at the Time™ • William Lee Martin
In 2000, Blockbuster passed on the chance to buy Netflix. On November 6, 2013, its owner announced plans to close the remaining company-owned U.S. stores.
They passed on Netflix. Eventually, everybody passed on Blockbuster.

No. 6 • Calling an Election Before It Was Really Over • Seemed Smart at the Time™ • William Lee Martin
In 1948, the Chicago Daily Tribune printed “DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN” before the results were settled.
Truman won. The newspaper became a collector’s item.
Being first is exciting. Being right saves you a reprint.

Craziest thing ever happened on the golf course!!!
We got hit by a dust devil. It picked up my brother's golf walking cart and then hit me and my son. It ripped both of our golf umbrellas out and mine went 300' in the air!! And then flew at least a mile to the Trinity River!
