Proposed Stimulus Package

The economy is without question still in a tumultuous state. The American population waits anxiously for the Government to fix the problems, extend incentive programs, and insulate us from the harshness of reality. It is time for each of us to get creative and try to solve some of the problems that exist in our local communities.

I propose that we STIMULATE our local waterfront communities by instituting nude beaches. Nude beaches would create a draw from outside the area, bring tourists, increase spending at our local restaurants, shops, and hotels. Maybe the swimsuit shops would feel a little pain but the rest of the economy would prosper.

I am not being serious….but I do think that we need to start to think outside the box and come up with some local solutions to a worldwide problem. I hope that I made you chuckle a little bit today. Life is short, live, laugh, and play hard.

Puzzle: Draw four straight lines (without lifting the pencil from the paper) which will cross through all 8 dots.

Buy Now.....Sell Never

We all have stories of visiting amazing vacation properties that were purchased by a great grand father back in the hay day and passed down from generation to generation. Lakefront cabins, mountain retreats, or ocean side getaways where the family returns for gatherings, relaxation, and reflection.

As guests visiting these properties, I often wondered why my family did not have one of these properties. Had we missed an opportunity? Will that opportunity arrive again?
The time is now…After-all, the population continues to grow, great locations are limited, and deals are abundant. Create your own luck by flushing out these opportunities and helping families to achieve the American dream. Encourage families to hold onto these properties for generations and never plan to sell.
