- Barney Zick is one of my favorites.

I'm less in touch with other peninsula towns and I'm really out of touch with the San Jose and San Francisco areas.I guess what all that says is that since I'm not active in my area, I only know my very immediate market by osmosis and have a small idea of some other local communities via the news.

It hasn't been as hard on me as on my wife because I was a bit more accepting of what I've seen coming for the past year or so.Anytime I think of dogs I'm always reminded of one of my favorite quotes from Mark Twain (my favorite writer) along the lines of;"hen you get to heaven leave your dog outside, heaven goes by favor, if it went by merit, the dog would go in, and you would stay out."

Sort of like bookmarks / favorites but BP specific.

Try:Evansville Area REI Club - 812-303-7571Not sure if it is still active, though.

I also love certain activities (skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking to name a few).

Rafael,:welcome: to BP.It sounds like you are rather well versed in a number of RE activities.

Be sure to read up and stay active.

and my favorite saying is "Nothing is ever easy" and i hold that to the heart with everything!

I spend about 3-4 hours every day "puking" myself all over the internet on my own blogs, various investing Forums, commenting on other peoples Blogs, Active Rain, etc.
