Time to Reflect
Do you take time to reflect? One thing I notice more and more it the lack of time we all take to reflect on what is going on around us. We all tend to be more reactive these days. Sometimes I read the news and think I’m looking at a large school of fish all [...]
Tucson Tile Roof
Contrary to what you might be reading in the media there is new residential construction going on in Tucson. Often when we go into a community with new construction, our clients will ask, “Why are the tile all stacked on top of the roof?” It seems to to them it would be easier to work [...]
Tucson Fall Project – Resealing Rolled Roof
This is a simple task requiring some basic tools and a ladder. It doesn’t cost much and many of us can do this home maintenance task ourselves. It is a task easy to forget because of that old saying “Out of sight out of mind” Not many of us ever see the roof off our [...]
The Crested Saguaro Cactus
One of the interesting anomalies here in the Desert Southwest are the Crested Saguaro Cactus. They are considered rare. Instead of the typical rounded point at the top these have a crest or crown at the top. Some of them will have crests at the ends of some of the arms as well.

An Open Letter to Frank Gomez
Frank Gomez left a comment on Sunday’s post Living with Imperfections If you didn’t see it here it is for a quick review.
“Dave, I certainly get your drift. However, sometimes–like now–it is just a very good time to sit back and try to relax and see where things are headed. I am very sorry that [...]
Tucson MLS Statistics September 2008
August came and disappeared before I even wrote a detailed look at the Statistics. I didn’t realize this till I set out to create the Stats table for September. August was a very decent month and September was even better compared to year over year and month over month.

Living With Imperfections
Now a statement of the obvious “We don’t live in a perfect world”. Anyone disagree with this? Then why do so many of us hesitate to do something until the time is “perfect”.
Waiting for the Perfect Time
Most people that are successful in life don’t wait for perfection or the perfect time. They act; sometimes it [...]
Saturday Food For Thought Or Not
I do my best to stay out of politics, partly because I can’t spell it and partly because I don’t really like most people that run for political office. I think there is a definite defective gene in there some where, probably more than one.
I do get a kick out of some of the fun [...]
