A little about me:  I work in the Oil and Gas Industry up in Northern Alberta, Canada.

Mark, while I appreciate you implying I am some big fish, everyone should keep in mind that just because I have done multi million dollar transactions, I still put my pants on like everyone else - one leg at a time!

As a wholesaler, we fish with large nets and try to get as many owners, addresses, and properties as possible.

I run a tropical fish site, the first thousand took a little while to achieve but after that it is all down hill.

(RTC) to bail out the banks (and bankers) who had made all of these loans, commercial and residential, predicated on oil reaching $100/bbl.When oil prices dropped, TX house prices dropped along with it, average house in Houston metro area lost abour 50% over a few years IIRC.

Particularly important in your part of the country in light of price hikes for heating oil and the high cost to replace.Central air, I'm not sure how many have that up there.Sufficient insulation and the right type.Roof.

If my dream was to be a crab fisherman, I wouldn't buy a crabboat and start fishing the Ohio River!

It said that everyone in the building was getting a $100 fine for used charcoal and oil that had been dumped on the side of the building.

It's just that with all the 'dearest friend Jason' emails i have been getting from foreign countries with foreign bank leaders promising me a settlement of my rich uncle's oil fields in foreign countries makes me more nervous than ever.

It's like fishing if you bait that hook just right and keep casting, you will get a bite, and you should be able to reel it in.
