Gulf Shores today: The Coast is clear - 08/08/10 03:52 PM

Hot sand. Cool, clear water and sparse crowds at the Gulf Shores Public Beach this morning. After much searching finally found a dreaded tarball -- a rust-colored rock bout the size of a quarter that crumbled under pressure with a very faint residue that easily washed off. This is not to be feared.  Take advantage of the low traffic, vacancies and discounts.

July 2010 homes sales in Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope - 08/07/10 08:14 PM
Home prices on the Eastern Shore continue to erode but at a much slower pace than last year's 17.5% depreciation. The average sales price of homes in Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope fell 4.5% since the end of 2009. Generally, we were behind the rest of the country when The Great Recession hit, impacting the housing market. So I expect we'll be behind the rest of the country in hitting bottom. Sales were down in July, with 73 homes closing, compared to 90 in June. However, pending sales are up from 123 this time last month to 132.   Here are … (0 comments)

I saved my son's life - 08/01/10 07:39 PM
Somehow, I missed this in the don't-run-with-scissors lecture.
On the eve of my son's 20th birthday, we gave him an Ipod Touch. He hot-footed it down to Best Buy to get an adapter so he could play it in his car.
Around 9 p.m., as I was watching TV, I noticed through the half-glassed door to the garage that he was in my SUV fiddling with the adapter ... with the car running, the AC on, and THE GARAGE DOOR SHUT.
So, parents you may want to add this to:
