Thanksgiving and parades…
I’ve been watching some of the NBC and CBS coverage of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. My wife is a (semi)reformed band geek, so she wanted to see the parade. Also, since WCC (World’s Cutest Child) likes parades, we had a triple reason to tune in (1 for the wife, and 2 for the kid).
View CommentsCan we ease the water shortage?
It looks like there is an idea to do just that.
If the US Fish and Wildlife Service signs off, the water coming off Lake Lanier could be dramatically cut. Right now, we have about 79 days left. If this plan goes through, there would be a reduction in the Apalachicola River of about 10%, but the outflow from Lanier could be cut more than that… maybe even more than a year.
So, we’ll see what this does for the drought situation. Of course part of the problem is that the USFWS hasn’t decided when they’ll decide… Of course, it isn’t like there is some sort of clock dripping… I mean ticking in the background.
Here is a great blog with sources and further info regarding our wonderful water situation here. I’ll also keep posting as I get new info.
Client Gateway for Buyers… a cool bonus.
One of the great features I offer to buyers is the Client Gateway. If you aren’t familiar, it is a custom private webpage that lists all of the properties that meet the criteria we decide on. As new listings are entered into the MLS, they show up in the Client Gateway the next morning.
The example shown is a Gateway that I have set up to keep an eye on new listings of homes with 4 or more car garages in Gwinnett County, GA.
A great feature of the Client Gateway is the ability to organize the properties. While reviewing the properties in the Gateway, one can select “Like”, “Possibility” or “Dislike”. Properties that are shuffled
View CommentsAbandon all hope, Ye who enter Atlanta’s roads on Halloween…
Tomorrow is Halloween. Don’t drive. Seriously, the scariest thing in Atlanta tomorrow will be the traffic.
It won’t be bad in the morning, but coming home will NOT be fun. After about 2:00, until around 9:00, the highways and side streets will be crazy. It won’t just be the little pirates and ghosts running around collecting candy, either. It is the same every year.
There are the adult parties, the kid parties, the trick or treating and then that special something else… people go nuts.
Mark my words. Take off early (I’m thinking just before lunch) and go home. Dress your little goblin (take that whatever way you want), and then kick back and throw some candy around. Don’t even try to go out for a pizza if you don’t have to.
Be safe out there…
