Are we going to experience inflation or deflation?  If you go to the supermarket, the gas station, or the hospital, you can see the prices shooting up.  But look at the wages, they are stagnant.  Then you have the Euro Zone that seems to be in a major recession with all the problems in Cyprus, Greece, Spain and Italy.  How long will that Union last?

WHALE WATCHING IN MORRO BAY, CALIFORNIA         Whale watching in Morro Bay, CA is a great way to spend your next Central Coast vacation. It's one of the most popular activities in coastal California, and something not to be missed if you're in the area.   Twice a year the California Gray Whale migrates from its feeding grounds in the Bering Straits to the breeding grounds off Baja, California – and back again. Morro Bay is a great place to view these magnificent whales as they travel on their journey.   There are three main species of whale that frequent the California Central Coast; Gray Whales, Blue Whales, and Humpback Whales. Additionally, Killer Whales are often seen in the coastal waters. There's plenty of opportunities to view other spectacular sea life; including dolphins, sea ... 03/06/2013

Mobile homes appeal to many people who appreciate their lower initial cost, ease of upkeep, friendliness of park living, etc. But rarely are they considered to be a true real estate investment. In fact, they are more likely to lose value than to appreciate, as stick-built homes normally do. However, I am in the middle of a deal (representing the buyers) involving a middle-aged mobile home in a park that has received no less than SEVEN offers, most above asking price and most also all cash. We're not talking a triple-wide fantasy home worth $200,000 or more; rather, a nice but ordinary older home (built in 1981) in good condition but pretty dated and needing new carpeting. In fact, the one stand-out quality this mobile home has is its nice view: If I had doubts about how the market has t... 12/01/2012

It's okay to say "Merry Christmas"!  With our anti-Christian media being fueled so strongly by enemy forces, the basic fundamentals of our faith are constantly being challenged.  Children no longer take a "Christmas break" and in many schools are NOT allowed to share why they celebrate Christmas. Sadly, Christmas is under attack like never before, as store clerks are told to say "Happy Holidays" so they won't offend non-Christians.  Did you know that you have the RIGHT to say "Merry Christmas" and it's a positive message! It's not about the presents under the tree, the turkey dinner, or Santa Claus. It's about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and our remembrance of his gift to us. From AFA is a great reminder that we can share as a positive message to those we meet every day.  It's okay to... 10/03/2011
