Out of the Blue

We have some pretty nice weather going on in these parts, so I may try to take advantage and do a little outdoor cooking. Either way, we definitely need to manage to go out and enjoy this while it lasts, as November is looming on the calendar.

I tend to look favorably (or at least give a second glance) on KS that have previously funded other KS (and I don't mean in the last 5 minutes, since their own KS started). I also tend to expect them to stick it out until the end, no matter how bad (preferably with updates and how the deficit can be made up). It would absolutely make me think twice (thrice?) about pledging to anything they ever do in the future. What if they meet their goal, but then arbitrarily decide it wasn't good enough, like they had a certain amount in mind but didn't want to make that their target and were relying on coaxing it out of people with stretch goals... They definitely lost a lot of respect and credibility in my eyes, pulling out halfway through the campaign. Not that they had much of either before, IMO.
