Politics

I have a suggestion for all when trying to decide which candidate for any office is the best choice for you. Rather than listen to what they say when running for the office, take a look at their voting record prior to their candidacy. This will really tell you more about the person that what they say. Furthermore, you can't rely on what they say, anyway.

Olympics

The tv coverage of this year's summer olympics has been superb, in my opinion. The commitment of these young people is unbelievable. And the time the parents have spent in getting them to this point in their lives is something few of us appreciate. Many have been soccer and hockey moms and dads. I have an idea you could multiply that commitment 10 times and still wouldn't be close to the olympic experience.

Good Start & Home News

I attended the Packer preseason game last nite in Green Bay. The crowd was a little subdued, in my opinion. Despite Mitch Henck's objection about Aaron Rodgers new moniker, I thought A-Rod did a commendable job at quarterback. Brett who?

Most pronosticators see the end of 2009; early 2010 as the bottom of dropping home values.

Are you enjoying this beautiful summer?

Ooops

Wrong again! Jet Favre traded instead of Rogers. (See previous blog.)

30 year fixed rate mortgage loan now at 6.75%. With the steep yield curve, look for higher yields on certificates of deposit. But then again, look at my prediction on who would be traded at Green Bay!

Favre Saga Continues

Here's a gut feeling I have.... the Packers will trade Aaron Rodgers!
