Pushed Face-first into a Spiderweb

Pushed Face-first into a Spiderweb
It seemed a bit odd to find our temps above 80 degrees today since it is the 10th of September already, but of course with this climate change, just about anything goes. I just heard it's to be over 90 degrees tomorrow. Ugh! I'm just hoping we don't have a frost arrive until at least October. It's a bit surprising we're not yet being pestered by th … continue reading

He’d be Burying Himself all the Deeper

He’d be Burying Himself all the Deeper
It warmed up quite nicely today to the point I happened to notice several workers of a contracting company working in the Downtown with their shirts off, which I've always thought odd because you'd think their management policies would not allow them to do it, but from what I've heard of late, many in management are now turning their eyes away from … continue reading

Skewed Ideas on how to Make our Country

Skewed Ideas on how to Make our Country
It couldn't have been a better day for people moving from one home to another with this exceptionally beautiful weather we've been experiencing. Yes, these are my kind of days where the sun is bright, the breezes are whispers, and the humidity levels down. With my having to stop at a gas station for a fill-up, I headed out a little earlier, and … continue reading

What goes Wrong when You have a 100%

What goes Wrong when You have a 100%
Once the high clouds disappeared this morning, we had another absolutely gorgeous September day which I tried to enjoy as much as I could with it being the first working day after a holiday. My morning was spent getting myself completely readied for my closing coming up tomorrow, along with responding to emails and returning phone calls. I did h … continue reading

We are Shoving everything Edible within Reach

We are Shoving everything Edible within Reach
It was an exceptionally fine day out of doors, and I hope all of you were sucking up as much of it as possible because as we all know, Labor Day is the official end of summer in these parts. With my having no real estate appointments today other than doing a re-shoot of photos on one of my office listings, I was footloose and fancy free to do anyth … continue reading

Raping our Oceans to the Point of No Return

Raping our Oceans to the Point of No Return
It sure turned out to be a beautiful day in North Iowa with the sun shining and gentle breezes, and especially our temps being back in the 70's range. Now that we're in the first week of September, I'm really noticing the corn and beans beginning to show signs of nearing the end of their life cycles. One of the sweet corn growers in our area decide … continue reading

It Would be Giving the Historic Park Inn

It Would be Giving the Historic Park Inn
In spite of it being a gloomy fog-like morning, the sun did finally come out this afternoon which not only warmed us up, but also gave our landscapes a good drying with those cool breezes coming out of the north. I can definitely tell Fall is approaching due to the way in which the lowering sun is casting shadows. Just today an old client of mine w … continue reading

The Resonating Energy of an Earthquake

The Resonating Energy of an Earthquake
Oh what a miserable day of a near non-stop drizzle we had, and when expecting the rain to be over before dawn, our weather forecasters managed to strike out once again with their predictions. I did read an article today which confirmed my suspicions as well as having sent a few chills up my spine when reading about how this global warming is going … continue reading

Anyone can be Knocked off their Perch

Anyone can be Knocked off their Perch
It was definitely a whirlwind day with it being the first of the month which contained my normal list of to do's, along with a larger number of appointments I had with home showings. At least our weather has finally cooled down which made for a pleasant day in spite of it being overcast. One of my noontime drop-ins was a gentleman who stopped by … continue reading

The Light of Dawn in a Troubled World

The Light of Dawn in a Troubled World
It was another early to office day due to my having to get some last minute changes made on a closing file, just so I'd be fully readied for my mid-morning closing over at a bank in Clear Lake. Before heading in the direction of my office, I decided to drive over to my acreage in Clear Lake and pick up the sold sign, just so I wouldn't have to stop … continue reading
