TIME TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND REGROUP!

This is the time for smart people to start planning and being smart.

When we were all fat, with lots of work and overtime, none of us thought about the immediate future. Hey, we were buying cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, jet skis, moving into new homes, taking trips, spending, spending, and spending. Let's buy a vacation home, even if it seems too expensive. Let's get a home imporvement loan, my house is worth 300% more than when I bought it, in two years it is going to tripple. Let's build ten more homes. Hey, I don't have to worry about customer service; I have enough business that I don't have to cater to the customer.

Yeah, let's charge more for permits. Let's make then pay through the nose. Let's make it more difficult for builders, home owners. Why not? They're fat with cash. They'll pay for anything. Wow, isn't this great? This is never going to end. We're on our way.

Unfortunately, we just took a cold shower and everything is clearer and appears to be different.
People have lost their jobs. Construction is almost extinct. Restaurants owners are doing the cooking, businesses are turning off the lights in the offices they no longer use, and people are just wondering...WHAT HAPPENED?

Reality check, that's what happened.

But not to worry! Some of us, who have been around for a number of decades, know of the ups and downs in our lives. We have to take the good with the bad and be prepared to be agressive.

So, if you have a little bit of cash stowed away, spend part of it and maybe buy property: (an empty lot(s), a house, a fixer-upper), or get a deal on your primary car or truck. Cash is king and if you have decent credit, borrow at some of the lowest rates ever. Utilize it to get deals you just can’t pass up.

Sadly for them, fortunate for you, there isn't one single entity that is in the service or retail business that is not willing to make a deal with you. From the biggest conglomerate shops and retails stores to the mom and pop outfits in your neighborhood. Don't be abusive in making the deal, just be smart. Get the best deal you can bargain. Do it now, because, as always, the economy will soon turn around and then you'll be kicking yourself saying, "I should have bought it back then.”

I've said that many times.

“THE AXIS OF IDIOTS.”

Jimmy Carter, you are the father of the Islamic Nazi movement. You threw the Shah under the bus, welcomed the Ayatollah home, and then lacked the spine to confront the terrorists when they took our embassy and our people hostage. You're the runner-in-chief.

FAIRNES DOCTRINE
Or how to stuff Democrat’s Platitudes down People’s Throat!

This is not going to be too complicated, I promise.
If you don’t know what the “Fairness Doctrine” is all about, it is a way for Democrats to force their voices and platitudes on radio in par with Republican or conservative talk radio.

DELAYED BUT NOT DISCOURAGED – PART DEUX

Must thank Mayor Larry Adams and especially Councilman Bill Smith. Last week I told Mr. Smith that we could not take the dead trees and brushes from the City Park out, as part of our cleanup effort because the Beautification Commission had to first approve such actions,
