I was negotiating repair items on a deal last week. I represent the buyer. The property inspection revealed, among other things, that both A/C systems in the home were showing splits that were out of compliance with normal readings.

A “split” is the difference in temperature between the air that is …

When I Dip You Dip We Dip

So the real point of the drive was, of course, to get to Vegas. It wasn’t that bad of a drive, especially for me since I could sleep. Apparently MK tells me it’s harder when you have to actually do the driving. Getting in to Nevada was cool, the casinos start as soon as they […]

The Fallout of Subjective Truth

if Truth is objective, if we live in a world we did not create and cannot change merely by thinking, if the world is not really a dream of our own, then the most destructive belief we could possibly bleieve would be the denial of this primary fact. It would be like closing your eyes […]

We ate some really good food and met the people that have been keeping UR company for ages. We saw a show. We slept in the […]

The Expensive Dark Knight

Story One from guest one, JM, besides the usual (shark snorkeling, cove snorkeling, pigging out, beaching it, SHOPPING) is our little trip to see The Dark Knight. Batman rules, of course, but definitely rules MORE when you go to In-N-Out Burger first. Then get popcorn. And Coke (zero…). But the super baddest Batman feature was […]
