Your Privacy, Your Data Matters- How Much Paper Is Too Much
One real estate transaction can result in your personal information being stored in many different places.

This is in addition to the files You, your lawyers, mortgage lenders and appraisers keep.

Several factors including a prime location and a lower than usual number of properties for sale likely played a part in this sale.

Do You Trust Politicians To do The Right Thing? - 01/27/12 10:22 PM
Do You Trust Politicians To do The Right Thing?
Over the years we have all heard or read stories about politicians who have betrayed the trust of those who elected them. We have even come to expect some of it from politicians at the federal level.
The most accountable form of Government has traditionally been at the local level but recently even that is questionable as some of them have ignored the trust placed in them by the electorate and done some questionable things.

I am relaxing right now,  enjoying an evening with Simon and Garfunkle on Detroits PBS watching their Songs in America, just showed an original version of Bridge Over Troubled Water with a documentary of the "60"s .  It was shown on TV once in the late 60"s and was considered too controversial, so was mothballed until now!  It was very moving watching a young Kennedy with his little children, the marches, shots of Viet Nam, Woodstock, and so much more.

The clouds were moving rather quickly and I would not have had time to stop the car jump out on the busy road and set the picture up with the out the lines.

Life has a way of making us see things in a different light. Often events in our lives send us off into unexplored territory. As each year comes to a close people tend to reflect on what has taken place in their lives and in the world around them and to ponder what lays ahead.
Over the years we all share events that are similiar in nature such as getting married, having children, starting into the workforce, buying that first new car, or buying your first home. Some will repeat some of … (16 comments)
