... I'm up late with a toothache :(

Saturday and Sunday the Valley Historical Society had its annual Civil War Revisited in Kearny Park.  Yesterday I attended for my very first time.  I went for the 2:30 event after church.  I was really tired when I got there but once those cannons started firing my fatigue fled.  Below are a couple of my favorites captures.  If you would like to see more, click here to go to my website.

Its Been a Beautiful Summer --- and as much as I feel its important to blog, I dont care to feel OBLIGATED.

 -- I'M BACK   ... and I am going to offer you  a link to some Commercial Real Estate Statistics that are very FUGLY!

If you're bore by stats and graphs -- don't bother with this one.  But if you are curious about the current state of the Commercial Real Estate Market, then have at it!

If you're thinking of cheating on your taxes by applying for the First-Time Home Buyer Credit -- BEWARE.

Today the IRS released news of its first succesful prosecution of fraud for doing so and the perp, who happens to be tax preparer, faces the possibility of up to three years in jail, a fine of as much as $250,000, or both.

Ain't worth it folks.

In a former blog I proclaimed we were in the beginning of the Great Depression of the 21st Century. [ GO HERE TO READ BLOG ].

Recent economic data indicates we are are on the cusp of a recovery, the only question is what kind of recovery. [ GO HERE FOR THE LATEST ECONOMIC DATA ].

For now, I'm going to stick to my guns.  I'm more inclined to believe we are in the eye of the storm then OUT OF THE STORM.  If so, what is to come, can wreak greater financial  havoc than what we've witnesses so far.

The Treasury is set to auction off 235 Billion this week and rates are creeping up.

Will bidders continue to buy, buy, buy?

if not -- the dollar will go bye, bye, bye.

Prices for homes in Fresno are looking attractive for investors provided rents stay relatively stable.  I'm personally scouting for some deals.

Just got in from horseback riding.  Weather is absolutely perfect.  In my 22 years in Fresno this has to be the nicest summer weather I have ever experienced.  PERFECT weather for the equestrian.  I am SO in touch with my inner cowboy!  My little pony never broke a sweat.

I dont know about you but I am often fascinated by the graffiti and poetry I find on the walls of foreclosed homes. The other day I was showing a home and got this image on my cell phone.

Here is the what I got:

Here it is with a little Photo Shop to make it POP:
