3 inches of Snow

What a great day.  This morning there was maybe 2 inches of snow in Woodland Park, Colorado.  The roads were a bit slick, but there were not that bad.  As the day progressed the sun came out and melted most of the roads.  This afternoon another light blanket of snow is coming to tuck us in for the night.  Tomorrow the sun will be out and it will be bright.  I am so happy to live in Woodland Park, Colorado.

Why do they call it a Sleep Over if no one Sleeps

Savannah, my daughter, had her first Sleep Over.  The biggest question I have is why is it called a Sleep Over if no one sleeps.  Actually it went very well.  I guess the hardest part is trying to get 3 little girls to stop talking and just be quiet.  I think it was about 11:30 p.m. before it became quiet.  The funniest part I think is that they all got up at the same time.  I am hoping that the Rewards of a Sleep Over is Nap-time.  please, please.

Wake Up America, Walking away from your home is not going to help!

Recently there have been many articles about Homeowners should just walk away from their home and not make another payment.  The idiots that are saying this must have a hidden agenda.  

Let's play this slippery slope out a bit. 

So if everyone walks away from their home, And everybody rents What would this accomplish.  I get it, Home prices will drop and everyone can get a new loan, because the Government would make the lenders give us a better deal.  As the great Bill Romonowski once said to a Pittsburgh Steeler Quarterback, Stupid, STUPID, STUPID. 

No, this would not happen.  What would happen is everybody would rent and no one would be able to get a loan unless you put down say maybe 50 to 75% CASH Down. 

I believe there are about 1/3 of all homeowners that have no mortgage payments.  Only 10% of Homeowners are behind in payments.  So that means 55 to 57 percent of homeowners are making their payments. 

Come on America, Wake UP!!!

Colorado Springs idea to save money?

This morning I was watching Fox's local morning show on channel 21.  They reported that the City of Colorado Springs is going to save $50,000. by taking all the trash cans out of the city parks. 

Brilliant.  Good Idea...lets have the messiest parks in the healthiest state.  Not to mention that now you are going to have to hire more people to clean up the parks and have to pay benefits too, just because the parks are full of TRASH. 

This is idea is as good as last years idea to Cancel the 4th of July Fireworks, or not to water the grass in the parks, which you City of Colorado Springs then had to reseed, which I am sure cost more!

Brilliant.
