Links Back to the Week That Was 12/14

Posted on Dec 14, 2008 by Cari McGee in Week That Was

It’s SNOWING!!!  Tri-Citians rarely see the white stuff, so to get more than a dusting is always big news.  Oh, AND it’s 17 degrees outside – so it’s really like winter!

First, about rates – apparently, they’re considering lowering them AGAIN.  Re-fi or buy a new place because, truly, the money is out there for you to borrow, and if you can, I think you should.

This is great news – Washingtonians are richer and better educated than many in the US.  Excellent!

Sometimes reading the news simply makes me sad – even if it’s not about kids obtaining incurable diseases or people facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles.  Sometimes I read about fraud and corruption and people taking the easy way out. When they do those things, they hurt all of us by destroying the economy (not to mention the moral fabric of our nation).  Sigh.  Heavy sigh.

Forbes wrote the story, and The Consumerist passed it on – these cities seem to be going the way of the dodo bird.

Finally, the dog got a present this week.  And he looks so cute with it, I thought I’d share!

Have a great week!
