Whidbey also has the Naval Air Station for potential renters.

Contextual example per my previous client: You require thousands of entries in Excel and outsource to India for $50 per 40 hour week versus the domestic cost of $280 (@ $7 per hour)The oustsourcing train has left the station and it's isn't going comming back.

I've got a daughter not much older than you that signed up with a temp agency and went from working crappy hours at a gas station to a full time position in an attorney's office that deals in foreclosures.

I don't like it when people push terrorist rights but don't balance it with any context in light of world events. it makes me question if they have any concept of the full reality of the situation. go to the fire stations in New York City and read the long lists of names of people who died in 9/11.

Account Closed I'd say if Irvington had it's own train station that might be a good play long term.  

Norm Bour is the host of "The Real Estate and Finance Hour" on KLSX in Los Angeles, a top talk radio station.

At 18 I joined the Air Force and was stationed in Korea and then Italy.
