The Encina Power Station - Soon to be Only a Memory The Encina Power Plant, with its very obvious smokestack, has been an iconic landmark on the Carlsbad seacoast for decades.    It was constructed in the 1950s and was officially retired in December 11, 2018 and is being dismantled - the demolition began earlier this year. The new power station, the Carlsbad Energy Center, began operation on December 12, 2018.  Whether you like the look of the plant and the towering smokestack or not, it certainly grabs attention, and can be seen for miles from the freeway north and south, and other inland vantage points.  And of course beyond being a part of Carlsbad's history it's provided electricity for thousands of homes all these years.  Some residents are happy to see the power plant disappearing...

Speechless Sunday: a fun Sunday afternoon in Marina Del Rey, CA 90292 well Diane wanted to stop by the beach. It was a perfect Sunday afternoon, my deals were being auto pilot hence I was all for stopping in where we used to live for ten years of our lives. So with that said we took Holly along for the ride. This was the second time she has been to the Marina and she loved it. She enjoyed sniffing and it was just perfect many other dogs were around and the beach was not crowded. Clearly she loved walking on the sand too.  In case you are wondering Marina Del Rey is next to Venice Beach and the vibe is totally different.  Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

Most of you know that since the Pandemic Diane has been working from home as well. So what does that mean to me? Well there is competition who can walk Holly. There are times she is busy and other times I am busy. Well lucky for me she was busy so I walked Holly for her late afternoon stroll. As we stoped at this tree I did a double take and was wondering what kind of tree this was I never seen such a 'fruit tree' before.  So with that said can you tell me what species of tree this is? Maybe Ron and Alexandra Seigel would know they are good at naming exotic flower and fruits. Feel free to share what you  think in your comments:))))    Wishing you a safe and healthy life and I look forward to your comments.

As a Vacant Land Specialist in Los Angeles I get many inquiries from Sellers to give them a market analysis and what I think their land is worth. Now with that said often I ask basic questions, such as what is the terrain look like? I also ask if they have reports such as Geology, or a Survey and the list goes on and on. Most sellers are pretty honest and straight forward. Others tend to be a little Pinocchio-ish. Well this seller I asked what the terrain looks like. He assured me that it was 'Flat' I was amazed because seldom do I run into "flat" land in Los Angeles, so with that said I went to check out the land. Well I would be interested about your thoughts. This is the land the seller said it was "flat" ... now with that said this is what I consider "flat land" what say you??  Wish...

It is a well-known fact that the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic and budget cuts increased the already backlogged Santa Clara County Probate Court.  Some say not enough is being done.  Yet, the court is doing all that it can to process more cases and catch up on the backlog.During a recent Zoom meeting the Probate Judges discussed: - The impact on the court since the Shelter in Place Order.- A second full-time probate judge added in 2021.- The pilot court process for Ex Parte Submission.- Other changes in the probate court.- Use of Microsoft Teams for hearings.- A "Drop Box" at the court to expedite the processing of files.  Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist Kathleen Daniels  May 3 -May 7, 2021, was an exceptionally busy week.  We provided attorney recommendations to four individuals who ...

Goats on the Payroll in San Diego Renting goats for clearing brush has been a pretty popular thing to do for years. I first heard about renting goats to clear land from a buyer client way back in 2010. She was looking at rural properties with lots of brush, and we were discussing how to deal with it, goats being one solution. Turns out renting goats for clearing land is pretty popular. A quick Google search will yield all kinds of resources these days, like Rent a Goat that covers the state of California. We "met" this goat at the Surfing Goat Dairy in Kula, Maui Turns out our utility company, San Diego Gas and Electric (SDGE), a subsidiary of Sempra Energy, now has about 220 goats "on their payroll," so to speak, and is using them to clear flammable brush from areas around electric inf...

http://MikesDailyMarketReport.com:  Today is the BIG Day for economic data!  The Jobs Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).  The Non-Farm Payrolls had a HUGE Miss today, as they reported only 266k jobs created for April (when they had expectations of nearly a million); and March was revised lower, going from 916k to 770k.  The Unemployment Rate rose to 6.1% as a result of these very week numbers.  However, Average Earnings rose 0.7% in April, as Employers try to entice employees back to work.  Also, the Average Workweek Hours rose 0.1% to 35.0/week.  Lastly, Wholesale Inventories rose 1.3%.  Stocks are Up, even though the economic data was very weak.  Investors are looking at it as Bad News is Good News today.  A few Fed Members are speaking today; which Neel Kashkari (a Fed M...

Many people are sitting on the fence trying to decide if now’s the time to buy a home. Some are renters who have a strong desire to become homeowners but are unsure if buying right now makes sense. Others may be homeowners who are realizing that their current home no longer fits their changing needs. To determine if they should buy now or wait another year, they both need to ask two simple questions: Do I think home values will be higher a year from now? Do I think mortgage rates will be higher a year from now? Let’s shed some light on the answers to these questions. Where will home prices be a year from now? If you average the most recent projections from the major industry forecasters, the expectation is home prices will increase by 7.7%. Let’s take a house that’s valued today at $32...

There are days when living life simply is  richer than days experienced in luxury.  For me, this is one of those days.I woke at 6:30 am, and by 7:10 am, lane 1 at the California Family Fitness Pool held my occupancy for the next 90 minutes.  Weather in Sacramento today is expected to elevate to the upper 80s.  When I arrived back home after my swim, there was just enough time to blow dry my hair, before "The View" came on.  Today, as many of you know is Cinco De Mayo. So, for lunch, I drove to Adalberto's Mexican Food, went through the drive-thru, and ordered up their great fish tacos.  Once home, little was left to do, but pop the cap on a Cerveza Dos Equis Amber, sit down and dine.  I suspect once this post is published, I'll observe another Mexican tradition in honor of this special ...
