I’ve been wanting to visit Mexico for a long time now for a variety of reasons. I’ve used my clearwire at home to look up all the things to do there like eating and day trips. I know I want to fly into Mexico City and check out the architecture and culture – it’s a dangerous place but not if you know where to go. I actually have some family there, too, so I know I could stay with them and they’d show me around. While I’m there I’ll probably venture out to the Yucatan peninsula to see some of the beautiful beaches. I’ve heard the white sand and green ocean are a sight to behold. I! know there are also some ancient ruins out that way that are supposed to be culturally fascinating. I’d love to visit a coco plantation while I’m there to see how they harvest Mexican chocolate. I have a feeling I could get some great souvenirs at a place like that! I wouldn’t even mind smelling like chocolate afterwards!
Sean tells me that he has decided to move to North Carolina in the near future. He has gotten quite serious with a young lady who lives there, and he is tired of the long distance relationship. So he has started looking at homes for sale in Wilmington, NC. He is hoping that he can transfer within his company and has put in a transfer request. That’s one of the great things about working for a large organization, you can often transfer from one location to another without any loss of pay or benefits.
I really don’t know very much about North Carolina other than the fact that my wife has a friend that lives there and it is a state that we drive through on our way to Florida! So Sean and I started looking at a realtor’s website to see what the price range of houses are, and what the schools are like. The website had some interesting features that I liked in relation to the rating of the area schools. Not that Sean is planning to have any rug rats in the near future, but if you are going to invest in real estate you want to make sure that the place you buy is in a good school district. That helps to maintain a good resale value.
Now that Christmas is over with and some folks received cold hard cash or gift cards for gifts there are plenty of people that are now ready to buy some nice merchandise for themselves for a change. A good buddy of mine is now looking online for motorcycles for sale, he would like to be on the road come spring and that is hopefully right around the corner at this point. I can only hope that he finds a Harley Davidson and not some Japanese bike. Keep it American!
The Internet is a great way to find items, so it only makes sense to look for the perfect motorcycle or ATV or any type of transportation for that matter. I used to have a motorcycle but times got hard and I started running out of time for riding it and keeping it up each riding season and ended up selling it. That was before the Internet had made buying and selling items so much easier, I’m sure I would have taken advantage of it and probably would have made out much better than I did back then.
Evidently, it is state law that children must be seated in car seats and booster seats until they are 9 years old. That seems really ultra-conservative to me. As a kid, we had seat belts in the car, which we rarely used. And car seats were only used for babies under a year old. Once the kids could sit up straight and stay buckled into the back seat, my parents tossed the car seat out.
We all made it just fine without car seats in our toddler and childhood years – I wonder why the Government has decided to force us to use car seats for such a long time? I think the parents should have some discretion in how they want to transport their own kids.
