Someone who listens to both sides and decides who is right. That is not what a mediator is. A mediator is a third-party neutral. Three words, and each one matters. Third party. Not one of the two sides. Outside the fight, with no stake in who comes out ahead. Neutral. No side. No agenda. A mediator does not represent either party and does not root for either one. A mediator is not an advocate and does not give legal advice. That is the lawyer's job,...]]></description><link>https://www.davidbarrysanders.com/post/what-a-mediator-actually-is</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4c3dfbfa58f0a255d8d47f</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2026 23:50:22 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_83086fb64b6248d2a2ff560b1e89af1a~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>David Sanders</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[A River Out of Time]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Colorado River does not have enough water for the plans built on top of it. Nobody wants to say that plainly. I will. I have family who farm in the Upper Basin. Wells that used to hit water at a certain depth now have to go thirty feet deeper. That is not a policy failure. That is the climate moving faster than a hundred-year-old compact was built to handle. When the ground itself tells you the old assumptions are gone, the ground is right and the assumptions are wrong.

The Dodgers spend too much. The Yankees buy championships. Small-market teams can't compete. Then someone says the answer is a salary cap. No. I'm a Dodgers fan. I've been one long enough to remember the McCourt years and the bankruptcy. Most fans followed the Dodgers through the sports pages. I followed them through PACER. I remember reading bankruptcy filings to learn what was happening to my baseball team.

On the surface it looks like an MLS flexing its muscle. Look closer. It is a business earthquake, and it is already shaking. Here is what happened. Midwest Real Estate Data, the MLS that serves Chicago, cut Zillow off from its listing feed. Roughly 43,000 listings vanished from the site overnight. A federal judge ordered the feed restored a few days later. Now the parties are in court over whether MRED...]]></description><link>https://www.davidbarrysanders.com/post/the-data-war-comes-to-real-estate</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4c2af20e6d4656949f15ae</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2026 22:25:06 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/343aab31eda549ed810f79749bd4e4e8.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>David Sanders</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Head Of Security]]></title><description><![CDATA[Leo is a German shepherd. He runs the place. He came to us the hard way. Three trips to the pound before he turned three. He was chipped, so they called the people who had him last. They said they did not want him back. That was the whole message. A young dog, healthy, smart, and nobody wanted him. We did. He runs with me every morning. Not beside me. Slightly ahead, setting the pace, glancing back to see if I am keeping up. He has opinions about the route. If I slow down, he notices. Then he...]]></description><link>https://www.davidbarrysanders.com/post/head-of-security</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4c2a4b0e6d4656949f13a8</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2026 22:22:02 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/edcebd_cfff9bf3b74548db83b0c276d0634b4f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_768,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>David Sanders</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chatrie Is a Privacy Decision]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Supreme Court decided Chatrie v. United States on June 29. Call it what it is. A privacy decision. The case came from a bank robbery. The question the Court answered has almost nothing to do with the crime. It answered a narrower thing than the headlines suggest, and the narrowness is the point. Police used a geofence warrant. They told Google to hand over every phone near the credit union during a two-hour window. Google searched hundreds of millions of accounts to do it. The question...]]></description><link>https://www.davidbarrysanders.com/post/chatrie-is-a-privacy-decision</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4c28a10e6d4656949f0f53</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2026 22:15:24 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f3176836a51040aa98b7a0af86b7ff57.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>David Sanders</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Sub Two Hour Marathon]]></title><description><![CDATA[I run. So I know what it takes. And what happened in London is hard to explain if you have not been there. A 1:59:30 marathon. Official. The first one ever. That is 26.2 miles at about 4:34 a mile. No break. No fade. Just pace and will. It did not stop there. Second place broke two hours too. Third place missed it by half a minute. The barrier did not bend. It moved. If you run, you know the late miles. Eighteen. Twenty. Twenty-two. That is where it comes apart.
