I remember the housing bubble in the 90s and I have a feeling we are in another one. As a matter of fact, I have a feeling we are at the peak of a huge housing bubble and sometime in the near future, it's going to pop.
When this bubble pops, there are going to be a lot of people who owe more on their homes than what it is worth. And that, my friends, is when the shit hits the fan...
Imagine buying a $350,000 house, taking out a mortgage for $300,000 and six months later, you find out your house is only worth $250,000. And the bank wants you to make up the difference because they don't want to hold a note on a property that is worth less than the note. A lot of people lost their homes to foreclosure back then.
That happened to a lot of people back in the 90s and I'm trying my best to make sure it doesn't happen to my daughter.
Russia continues to claim they are doing nothing wrong. They claim that everything the media is showing is either fake or a lie.
I read a story not too long ago that had been written by a guy from Syria. For those you that have been living under a rock for the last 7 or 8 years, Syria is in the midst of a civil war with Russia supporting the dictator Bashar al-Assad. And by supporting, I mean they are doing a lot of bombing. As a matter of fact, they've used chemical weapons against the civilian population.
The story was not so much a news report as it was more of a warning.
His premise was,
-
"Look, we know how the Russians think because they have been doing it to us (Syria) for years.
Don't tell them where the civilians are because that is where they will bomb.
Don't tell them where the hospitals are because that is where they will bomb.
Don't tell them where the schools are because that is where they will bomb.
Don't tell them where the children are because that is where they will bomb.
Don't announce any humanitarian rescue attempts because that is where they will set up roadblocks with tanks and machine guns.
If you see any Russians, don't raise your hands because then they know you don't have a gun. They really seem to enjoy shooting unarmed men and raping unarmed women. After they're done raping the women, they shoot them.
Arm yourself and shoot every Russian you see because that is what they will do to you."
Basically, Russia wages war not by sending an army against an opposing army. They wage war by sending mass murderers into a city to massacre the civilians.
They "win" by killing all the people, taking land and rebuilding it to suit their liking.
The Red Sox lost to the Twins today but the big news is that Houck went six solid innings.
Tomorrow they play the Twins again with Wacha on the mound. If he can give them a good five or six innings, that will put the starting rotation in good shape.
I am feeling pretty good about this team. I like their defense and I love their offense. If their pitching can hold up, they will be contenders.
The Bruins are playing the Blue Jackets again this evening and I will watch some of it. Hell, maybe I'll watch all of it.
While I do that, you can visit these:

- Of course it got terrible ratings. There was no slapping going on. People want slappings.
- I'm pretty sure they should listen to that Hawking guy. He was pretty smart.
