Almighty God, whose great power and eternal wisdom embraces the universe, watch over all policemen and other law enforcement officers.

Program created to lessen pedestrian deaths in Orlando?
I'd surely like to believe this is the case- but I just as surely have my reservations about any of the programs I've heard of thus far. I have a number of reasons for those reservations- for while I've just chronicled the 50th local pedestrian death as part of my Pedestrian Tales From the Middle of the Road series, I simply don't feel that our local law enforcement officials "get it".

I truly think we've had a couple of weeks without one, though- which may be a record in these parts. At any rate, this is a short story. It's not sweet by any means, though. It's yet another preventable death, yet another family left to mourn- and yet another young lady of 28 years old that must carry the memories of this … (0 comments)
Realtor School Summit: Public Schools and The Housing Recovery
"What school is that home zoned for?"...."Is is a good school?"
If you've been in this business more than a minute, you've fielded these questions a number of times. As the flyer states, homebuyers rank schools as a top deciding factor when purchasing a home.
The same applies for tenant prospects. It's a tough thing to stay current on which school a particular home is zoned for these days- tougher than I've ever seen it- and the issue is … (2 comments)
