How did the accident happen was someone on a cell phone, reading a newspaper, etc.?

My thinking is it's like the cell phone, the technology just keeps getting smarter and smarter, so eventually will all those that have adjusted to technology want to carry it on to their kitchens?  

As to cell phones, keep the batteries charged!

Get a Google Voice #: You don't want people calling your cell phone so it's better to have a Google voice.

You're chasing upside without concern for mitigating your downside.A single family home in an upscale and strong demand neighborhood like Beverly Hills is like a blue chip stock in your retirement portfolio.I understand that it does not appreciate as rapidly as a growth stock and I also understand it does not yield dividends equal to a more speculative growth investment, but, when the markets turn, which they always do, It's more likely to retain it's value and provide you a hedge against the risk of more speculative investments.I'm suggesting that by abandoning a solid and less risky investment in order to put all your eggs in a more speculative basket you're giving yourself a better chance of a larger income stream and perhaps better short term appreciation, but you are also risking all of your equity in a more speculative market by buying in less solid markets.To me a smarter, safer move would be to retain a solid blue chip asset that pays for itself and perhaps also pays for the additional equity you could borrow against the asset (new loan or credit line), and then re-invest that borrowed equity in more speculative investments if you wish to generate additional cashflow.If you've outspent yourself and need to generate cashflow quickly for another reason we haven't discussed here I understand that sometimes decisions must be made on a shorter time horizon.  

Kind of like the chicken and egg question.

Not good if there's a leak.The good one I asked the same question and he gave me the after hours number, which a live person answered, his cell number (which I will never call unless there's an absolute emergency that only he can fix), and a number of other ways.The difference is night and day with property managers. 

If you can't deliver, say you move or retire, they have put all their eggs in your lower paying basket and have no customer base to fall back on. 

Gary: Just for your information is what you write down my name, Brian Gibbons that's G-I-B-B-O-N-S, and my cell phone number which is xxx xxx xxxx This is important because if you like what I have to say then you'll have a way to get a hold of me.

If they can establish a long term power purchase agreement from a user who requires offset in the nearby city, they might be willing to establish a long term lease with you.Same possibility for a cell tower if coverage is needed in your area.
