This weeks top ten....

1.  My prayers go out to the victims of Hurricane Ike.  What a powerful storm that brought absolute destruction to South East Texas and beyond.  Galveston and its outlying communities seem to have been hardest hit with neighborhoods simply wiped off the map.

2.  It has been quite a week as far as the stick market goes.  I think by this time next week it will fall below 10,000 though I really hope not. 

3.  The race for the AL East is a hot one.  As of now the Rays hold the slimmest of leads.  It will be interesting to see if they can hold off the more experienced Red Sox.

4.  I guess the real estate market still hasn't hit bottom, but mortgage rates are probably as low as they are going to get with inflation rising.  Tell your buyers what they save by waiting for the bottom they will lose in the amount they pay for thier money.

5.  You would think with the amount of babies being born in China that they would make sure the formula is safe.  SHAMEFUL!!!

6.  I think its going to be an exciting NFL season.  What a game on Monday night.

7.  Pretty soon the US government is going to own all of the big mortgage companies.

8.  The Sarah Palin phenomenon reminds me of the days of Jackie O.

9.  Personnally I think septic companies have us by the short and curlys.

10.  Sadly we say goodbye to one of our real estate agents.  We wish her the best!

Have a great week and SELL SELL SELL!!!!
