ActiveRain Points Headball

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Lockwood Real Estate

I'm going to move to Amador County for awhile.

No, not my house, or my offiice, just my ActiveRain Head.  I'm moving my ActiveRain Head to Plymouth, California, Home of Marlene and Greg's.

Yes, I'm number one in El Dorado Hills here on Active Rain, but I'm not sure what fraction of $1.75 I need to add to that to obtain the proverbial cup of coffee.  Also, I'm actually doing quite well for El Dorado Hills elsewhere on the real Internet, you know, the one with Google driving.

Bridget said I should move to Amador County, because she'd like to see some more business happening there.

Plus, OK, let's be honest.  I want to be #1 in a whole county, and Amador is after all in Elite's service area.

The nice thing about being the broker is I can pretty much bounce my nimble ActiveRain Head anywhere I want in my service area, and not worry a bit about having to actually drive where it shows up, since in the unlikely event that a client finds me here, I'll have one of my excellent agents do a great job as they always do with him / her / them.

I was going to bounce over to Placer County for awhile, but Placer County is pretty much sewn up by that gorgeous virtual assistant, Laura Monroe.  Darn, that girl is eyeball friendly.  I don't even want to show up in Placer County.  Nobody will look at my pathetic ActiveRain Head with Laura on the page.

At the risk of giving away the Coalition Invasion Plan:  later on in the year, the nimble ActiveRain Head of Johnnie will lead his little point troops north again across the Consumnes River.  We'll turn left at Poor Red's and head west toward Route 50, then west some more on Route 50, conquering Folsom briefly, then marching on to the right flank of the invincible fortress of Gena Reide.

There we will build an encampment, and Cookie will make the troops coffee.

Hmmm, If I'm getting your right here, you're going to make a different county your "home" county?  Is that right?

Yes, Bob, that's the short-winded version.

I never post the short-winded version myself, though.  As Voltaire said, "The secret of being boring is to say everything."

Damn it! My Logo (not head) was swelling anyhow! Now by the way, Lake Comanche does actually have a town, or at least a few houses, under the water.
Way to play the points.

Oh hey Michael, how's it going? 

No worries.  I'm going to leave you Amadorians alone when I cross the Rubicon-Consumnes on my way to my conquest of Folsom and points west, so you will be Logo #1 soaring above the heads of the rest (including one of my agents) again.  Probably about two or three weeks.

If you ever want to talk some shop, give me a call (530) 672-9160.

Oh no, it's only flattery if it's NOT true. :)

Roseville?  Ya think?  Granted I could shoot for number one there instead of justing hanging out with Gena.  An eight thousand point gap is a heck of a lot less of a deterrent than a 70,000+ point gap.  But for keyword tastiness there's nothing like Sacramento, it's the cat's pajamas.

So ok, you saw my picture and laughed that hard once...when was the second time?

John~ I did not laugh at your picture;) I did laugh at a comment you made  on a blog that went something like,   " Do not be afraid. Paragraphs are your friend." Hysterical!
