January 22nd, 2012. The snow is gone!, it was fun, and now mortgage interest rates have unbelievably dropped AGAIN!, and on TV's Charlie Rose one of the leading top private economic analysts says that we will, contrary to the doom and gloomers, slowly get better economically, gradually but quite certainly, as this year progresses! Huh, hey it's not me saying it, coming from a real estate agent that may be questionable, but this didn't come from me...
I like this one: no ugly dysfunctional hard-to-clean gutters to clog and leak on this house, rain just drops straight to the Zen rockeries/drainage ditches below on ground level, providing a lovely water show:
