Doing my part

It is Friday and Fridays are for fun no matter how cold they are.   A couple of Fridays a month just for fun I deliver meals on wheels. Today it will be fun keeping them warm.  Most of the seniors in our community have 800 locks on their doors so by the time they unlock them all the meal that was hot is warm or cool.   You have to love them though they almost always smile and say thank you when I hand them what used to be a warm meal.   

The fun thing about cold weather is that I can  dress like the uni-bomber when I go out and no one points or stares.  From a business point of view the cold isn't good, home sales slow down. The way it works is during these cold snaps is buyers like to go out and look around when it is minus – JustKillMeNowBeforeTheWeatherDoes outside and then buy a house in the spring.  

In other words when it is hella cold or there is a raging blizzard I  show some houses or look at the home of a seller who plans to sell in the spring.  It all works out in the end though. I would explain how it works but I can't because I don't understand it myself. 

I have written about buying locally a couple of times on this blog. Not just the local real estate which of course you should buy even when it is cold out, but also from local merchants in your neighborhood.  I want you to know that for the most part I practice what I preach. Yesterday I shopped locally and helped a local merchant who is trying to get rid of holiday items and has discounted them to move them out the door.

I love chocolate even though it messes up my keyboard and gets my steering wheel sticky.  I don't eat whoppers very often they don't really seem like chocolate but they are close enough. Tomorrow I may brave the cold and shop the neighborhood for dark chocolate. It is supposed to be healthier.  Besides I am out of whoppers this post took longer to write than I though it would.I suppose it would go fast if I stayed on topic but I am not sure there is a topic. 

Have a great weekend!
