HVCC Update - 10/27/09 02:07 PM

Via Larry Bettag - Cherry Creek Mortgage:
HVCC Update.  The petition that has been going around seems to have finally made its way to congressional leaders.  The House Financial Services Committee has been receiving lots of noise as to the negative affects that this law is having on the consumer.  More importantly, the representatives are hearing the nightmare stories that have come along with it.  Stories include shoddy appraisers being allowed to "get back in the mix" even though companies have blacklisted them.  Appraisers from Illinois going to Milwaukee to appraise properties where they have no knowledge of the local markets.  Four … (5 comments)

Halloween Costumes and Candy - 10/27/09 10:44 AM
Halloween Costumes and Candy ~ What kind of candy do you hand out?  Do you wear a costume?
Each year our neighborhood has lots of trick-or-treaters on Halloween night and I enjoy handing out candy almost as much as the kids enjoy getting it.  The scary masks my husband and I put on are always quickly removed since the little kids are easily frightened.  Maybe this year I will buy something friendlier to wear. 
I decided to hand out mini M&Ms this year since I end up treating myself to the mini Snickers bars that I traditionally hand out.  Actually, I also like M&Ms or any chocolate candy.

Butterfly Invasion ~ They're not what you think - 10/18/09 09:47 PM
The past couple of days have brought us an invasion of butterflies all over San Antonio.  Although they are smaller than Monarch butterflies, we at first thought they were Monarchs migrating south to Mexico.  They have similar coloring to the Monarch.
Well, we were wrong.  It turns out that these are American Snout Butterflies that are born right here in San Antonio.  The sudden population explosion is simply a sign that our drought is now over.  During a time of drought they don't breed but after a drought is over they breed on the leaves of the Hackberry trees.   It takes about 10 to 15 days to produce the butterflies; first the … (22 comments)

Quotes from American History - 10/11/09 12:36 PM
"Resolved, that there are certain essential rights of the British Constitution of government, which are founded in the law of God and nature, and are common rights of mankind.

The Shape of Texas ~ Listen and Learn
The Shape of Texas is a radio program that is broadcast through NPR-affiliated stations.  It provides vividly descriptive information about contemporary and historical architecture and places in our state which defines the culture and heritage of Texas. The program seeks to lead listeners to look at our "built environment" with a "fresh and knowing eye."  I listened to several of the tracks today and learned a lot that I previously didn't know, adding to my appreciation of my home state.
The online archive includes mp3 audio of Volumes 1 thru 467 as well … (10 comments)

A reminder for Texas disabled vets
Under a new tax exemption approved by the Texas Legislature, military veterans who are totally disabled or cannot work because of service-related injuries will no longer be required to pay property taxes on their homes.

Eligible disabled veterans must apply for the tax exemption through their county appraisal district.  … (8 comments)
