Links Back to the Week That Was 1/18

Posted on Jan 18, 2009 by Cari McGee in Week That Was

Wow – I wouldn’t want to move my own stuff in if I lived here.  Waaaay too time consuming, although the view might be worth it, even if I was on a lower floor…

Ouch.  Ouch, ouch, ouch – foreclosures up nationwide. Stockton, Vegas and Detroit are on the list of hardest-hit areas.  That’s one top ten list I would not want to be on.

My love affair with The Consumerist continues, and so I’m sharing this info about keeping your car windshield ice-free for very little moula.  It’ll probably come in handy this week as lows should hover right around the freezing mark.

And the waiting game drags on…Fluor’s contract gets extended and Lockheed gets to guess as to what the future holds.

Homeowners who live along the Columbia river in Kennewick, Richland, and Pasco gathered this week to provide feedback to the Army Corps of Engineers regarding the Corps new dock plans.  This was in the paper on Tuesday -and Thursday saw this meeting recap published, and Saturday we learned that the Corps had extended the amount of time for the people to share their concerns.  Actually, they had extended the deadline by the time the Wednesday night meet was over, but the Herald reporter didn’t stay long enough to get the full story. Kudos to the residents who told the Corps that a month was not nearly enough time.

And that’s it for this week!
