endre barath: Monday Motivations: Thank you General Douglas Mac Arthur... - 09/18/23 11:12 PM
As most of you know I spent some time at West Point, also known as the United States Military Academy, USMA at West Point New York. As a freshman aka Plebe, we had to sit at the Dining Hall when the movie Mac Arthur was made. I can still hear Gregory Peck saying the famous words of General Douglas MacArthur:
...General Westmorland, General Groves, distinguished guests and gentlemen of the corps...
As I was leaving the hotel this morning a doorman asked me "Where are you bound for General?" and when I replied, "West Point," he remarked, " Beautiful place, have you ever … (27 comments)

endre barath: How long does it take to get approvals to build on vacant land in Los Angeles? - 09/18/23 02:42 PM
How long does it take to get approvals to build on vacant land in Los Angeles?
As a vacant land specialist, you can imagine how often I am asked this question.  If I'm not asked, then I bring it up in my first communication with any potential buyer.  Transparency is important, particularly if a potential land buyer comes from a different state or country where the approval process is less than a hundred days which is vastly different than here in Los Angeles.
When I started selling land 26 years ago in Los Angeles, approvals from the Los Angeles Building Department would take approximately … (24 comments)

Speechless Sunday: Which photos do you like better? Just as a background the other day I spent about 4.5 hours at Verizon transferring my Samsung Galixy7 data to my new Samsung Galaxy S23 phone. Well, that is another post to be covered later.
One of the new features of the S23 is that there are food foto features. Now with that said please tell me which photos you like better the Featured one? or the one above. Will do the same for the ones below too:)
Again, thank you for your input.  look forward to your choice:)

endre barath: Plans are sometimes interrupted by unexpected events.... - 09/15/23 09:32 PM
Well, this Tuesday I took Diane to a great seafood restaurant in Redondo Beach. My front tire did not look good so on the way there I stopped and filled it with air.... long story short, good thing someone was there to help because we would have missed our lunch reservation. (www.Bluewatergrill) Then on top a friend of hers was already there to meet us:)
I noticed that the Tire warning light was still on. So here comes Wednesday and well see for yourself. The Tire was not as bad as you can see, but by the time AAA arrived it was … (23 comments)

endre barath: Wordless Wednesday: the Birthday celebration continues... - 09/13/23 11:49 PM
Wordless Wednesday: the Birthday celebration continues... well tonight I decided to do Maryland style crabcakes, with a small lobster tail. The frozen potatoes were baked at the same time as the vegies.... one green zucchini and some mushrooms covered with parmesan cheese and olive oil....
Yes, I also  made clarified butter with infused garlic and thyme for the lobster tails. Yes and let's not forget, I made a new version of tartar sauce for the crab cakes. 
Keep in mind this was after having a flat tire and opening another escrow to name a few today.

0 North Hill Rd Pomona CA 91768 Status: PENDING! This is exciting news, the buyer did his research and needed extra time to get answers from the Building Department. Then the buyer needed more time to get answers from the Title Officer about easement questions. The good news is that now he feels comfortable with the answers.

Speechless Sunday: where did my sign go? Oh it's back now...
The other day as in Labor Day Weekend I went out to check a potential land listing, happened to be one street above my current listing. Hence, I went by it to check it out and I noticed my sign was missing?
Needless to say, a couple emails later my sign was reposted. Now it makes me wonder was it the neighbor or the other party who has a listing five lots from mine? Anyway, the good news it the sign is back up again.

Reflections or should I say Meditation on a Saturday evening... when I am in the mood to reflect or meditate most of my readers know I go to my favorite book that is hand reach from my laptop. Indeed:  The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius!
No more roundabout discussion of what makes a good man. Be one!     Marcus Aurelius
In writing and reading you must learn before you can teach. Yet more so in life.     Marcus Aurelius

endre barath: What are you making for dinner tonight? - 09/09/23 09:47 PM
What are you making for dinner tonight? Diane asked as we were driving home from Pasadena? Needless to say we were both hungry heading back from Vroman's Bookstore. So the conversation turned to would you like Peruvian Scallops? She wondered if I had some fresh ones and broke the news that they were frozen. The next question was would you like rice or pasta? Funny question why ask an Italian pasta or rice.
Well, you guessed it was pasta. I did not have pre-made sauce, so I had to scramble and only spent two hours reducing the sauce and adding leftover caramelized … (13 comments)

endre barath: It's Friday, what did you do for fun? I made caramelized onions... - 09/01/23 11:36 PM
What else would you do on a Friday night? Well, it is Labor Day weekend and I wanted to make sure we had some caramelized onions with our Sausages.
It is easy to do all you need is time and patience. 
I cut about eight onions and the rest consisted of time about four or five hours, well worth the time.
I use sweet Vidalia or any other sweet onions and while I am cutting the onions, I melt about 4 oz of unsalted butter.  Add the onions to it and the first hour every 15 minutes or so stir it. I add very … (34 comments)

I took this photo  above on November 4th 2022 as I was walking Holly on our evening walk... today it would have been a bright Sunny Photo had I taken it at the same spot. So with that said it is interesting to look back at what we saw at the time we happened to take a picture to commemorate the moment.
I was asked by a potential seller do I put signs up to advertise my land listings? This was a while back too... I said it depends where the listing is. Personally, it is good for me to advertise my … (20 comments)

Wordless Wednesdays: Wow another amazing Full Moon...
Since who, knows how long, I would guess thousands of years, man has been fascinated with seeing a full moon. Hence, I thought I might share a few pictures and quotes. Hope my new phone which I should get in the near term will take better pictures at night especially of the moon. This moon is spectacular and the photos do not do justice to it.

I am a firm believer that Success is not the key to happiness. I am of the opinion that "Happiness is the key to success"!!! let me know what you think.
I figured it would be a perfect post for our friend Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP  and her Word Mongering Wednesday Post. Not sure if that is what it is called since to me it is a bit confusing and hard to remember.
Now with that said I hope I can find the group to post it to:))) Please leave your comments and thoughts in the comments!
