Re-Visiting 11 Second St. NE

Re-Visiting 11 Second St. NE
Now if I hadn't made a quick stop to check on a home before continuing on to my office this morning, I wouldn't have been trapped in my vehicle for over a half hour while waiting for the this morning's downpour to stop. With nothing better to do other than watching the rain pour down, I must say towards the end of it, there were wide streams of wat … continue reading

Evils Associated With Arson

Evils Associated With Arson
It was definitely a whirl-windy day with a number of real estate related issues, along with those on the personal side, but by the end of the day, all fared better than I was expecting for which I'm truly grateful. With the rain having finally stopped, I'm gonna be playing catch-up with mowing and gardening because these recent rains have caused … continue reading

The Soda Grill

The Soda Grill
This afternoon's rain arrived rather suddenly, and unfortunately I'd walked down to the abstract company prior, and ended up getting stuck there until that downpour let up.  My goodness! It was definitely coming down to where the curbsides had streams rushing toward the storm sewers. There was only one out of office appointment which had me ope … continue reading

Everything’s Gotta Be Super-Sized

Everything’s Gotta Be Super-Sized
My first appointment this morning was a scheduled meeting with a contractor who wanted to personally go over a bid he was submitting on some work I was needing done, which was just fine by me because I'd rather have a face to face rather than a bid being emailed and then followed up with a text or phone call days later. The meeting went far bett … continue reading

Before It Gets Better

Before It Gets Better
We sure got walloped with rain today, and from what I heard this afternoon, we're supposed to get more tomorrow and Wednesday. If we get each day what arrived today, our rivers and streams will definitely be over their banks. Since I had to take a quick trip up to Manly this afternoon, I wasn't a bit surprised when seeing ponds of water in corn and … continue reading

Glaring Examples Of Belief Perseverance

Glaring Examples Of Belief Perseverance
It definitely ended up being a hot and a bit humid one today which will certainly give our hot crops a good kick with this year's growing cycle. I did manage to get two hills of my favorite watermelons planted yesterday, and about all I have left to get in the ground are, some additional tomato plants and perhaps in a week or so, I'll be planting s … continue reading

The Backfire Effect

The Backfire Effect
It was a quiet early Friday morning drive to office, but moments after I turned off 2nd Street and headed down Commercial Alley to pull into my parking spot, I was immediately brought up to speed once again with the goings-on in our downtown during the night. Well, putting it bluntly, there was a guy parked horizontally in front of my back door whe … continue reading

Well Over A Millennia

Well Over A Millennia
I dare say we received a good amount of rain over the past 24 hours, which was well received, but I believe we've had enough for now, so hopefully Mother Nature will have the faucets shut down for a few more days. There was another hiccup with my 'problem child' transaction which I was later able to get resolved. Yes, there's definitely somethin … continue reading

Dubbed The Showroom Model

Dubbed The Showroom Model
The bulk of my day was pretty much focused on getting the work area at the back of my office re-arranged and tidied up for a new/old piece of furniture a client was kind enough to gift me, and once I had it put back together and cleaned up, I was all the more happy to've taken it off their hands. Isn't it funny how there are times when you've been … continue reading
