It was the first commercial bank in the United States.  1789 - Americans voted for the electors that would choose George Washington to be the first U.S. president (the beginning of the Electoral College). 1894 - W.K. Dickson received a patent for motion picture film. 1896 – The first "Fannie Farmer Cookbook" was published. 1904 - The distress signal "CQD" was established. Two years later "SOS" became the radio distress signal because it was quicker to send by wireless rad...

 Gratitude, thankfulness, or gratefulness, from the Latin word gratus ‘pleasing, thankful’, is a feeling of appreciation felt by and/or similar positive response shown by the recipient of kindness, gifts, help, favors, or other types of generosity, towards the giver of such gifts.

OK Boomer, You Don't Need 20% Down Bound to happen from time to time in the digital age, a saying goes viral --- in this case, "OK, boomer," --- which is meant to expose a close-minded or out-of-touch opinion, thought or mindset of one generation by another (I'll let you figure out the age demographics here).  Hopefully, the topic of this blog will transcend generational differences and address the assumptions about the down payment one needs to make when purchasing a home, versus the reality of what we see every day with those who are actually buying homes.  I think you'll be surprised at the expanse between fact and fiction. Let's start by saying that in the US, it's been widely assumed that a homebuyer must make a 20% down payment of the purchase price.  This concept has been propaga...

Well once again PGE is on a Power Trip in the Bay Area in Northern California. And I was told 30-40 years ago that companies couldn't have a monopoly and control all of what there selling. But it sure looks like PGE has a monopoly on electricity in California. And if we're not happy with PGE shouldn't we be allowed to use another company? That's another reason I love Alaska ...Sure I have to purchase electricity, but when it's turned off like PGE has been doing in NorCal for the last 2 weeks I just start up my generator for power. In fact it's cheaper to run my generator for electricity then buying it from Homer Electric. And I have enough fish, caribou, other meats in the freezer and canned foods to last me 6-12 months.So anyway back to PGE ... Shame on you for flexing and trying to co...
