Before You Buy Your Next Car Check For Complaints Here - NHTSA - 11/16/10 01:16 PM
I have found a web site to help anyone who is researching cars before you purchase. The way I found this site is not as important as what it has, but my woes are explained briefly at the end of this post. The NHTSA describes itself as: "NHTSA, established in 1970, directs highway safety and consumer programs and is dedicated to achieving the highest standards of excellence in motor vehicle and highway safety. And for more than 30 years the agency has set the standard for safety, helping consumers find safer cars with its 5-Star Safety Ratings."

It Is Time To Learn What A Bank Buyback Is. - 11/09/10 06:38 PM
The latest term in the real estate mortgage meltdown is Bank Buyback. The quick explanation is: when the FHFA (Federal Housing Finance Agency) says that if a mortgage file has some flaws, mistakes, and/or improprieties, the originating entity must "buy it back." Thus, the bank, mortgage company, and even the originator could be asked/forced to buy back a loan that was funded because of improper underwriting and/or faulty documentation.
This has huge economic ramifications. Imagine if those banks that sold loans to the secondary market are asked to buy back many of those loans. Some of the major "lenders" have financial … (0 comments)

A Rainbow In Falmouth - 11/09/10 02:25 PM
Last week a storm whipped through Falmouth briefly. I took this picture of a double rainbow that formed outside my office. It changed in brightness and clarity over the few minutes it was visible.
I've seen double rainbows before, but this one was the brightest I've ever seen, double or otherwise. The rest of that week was very pleasant.  This week we have had rain to help all the leaves fall, and to let all the trees get their thirst quenched before the cold months arrive.
