Driving for Dollars. 10 Random things I have noticed

Its been a little while since I have posted but here is what I have noticed D4D.

Enjoy!

1.  I constantly moving my sunglasses.  Can really see my phone (checking county websites) with them on and cant really see properties with them off.  

2.  I am still not used to people looking at me as if I am some pedophile hunting for children.  Anyone else experience this?

3.  Curved streets take more time than long straight ones.

4.  Pay attention to no parking signs.  Several times I am parked in a no parking area while writing down notes.  No issues from Johnny Law so far.

5.  Don't just start driving up and down.  Look at your map and plan the best route that covers the most area with the least doubling back as possible.  As Brian Tracy says, "one minute of planning, saves ten minutes in execution"

6.  Some people have absolutely no clue when it comes to decorating their home.

7.  I begin to feel very creepy looking when I continue to accidentally drive by the same person walking that stupid little dog.

8.  More home owners need to pay attention to yard maintenance.

9.  The way most people have their address displayed is very ineffective!

10.  I have yet to run into anyone who is driving for dollars in the same area and I kinda like that!

Feel free to add to the list....

Eric
