The beauty that is Malibu, California. 2012 has provided many signs of improvement in our economy and the United States’ real estate market. One seems to effect and reflect the status of the other.

What’s scary to one person, may be fun for another. Friday the 13th, Halloween, walking outside at night time with a full moon and other scenarios. Some people live for these experiences, while others choose to avoid them.
