"No Snow."

Uh....Bulletin?

"No Snow?"

Nice timing....

Local Real Estate Blog yesterday trumpeted that home prices had gone "up". No...prices are going down, but the prices of the houses that sold happened to be more than the prices of the month before. Two different things. One is reality, the other is happenstance.

"Enterprise Zone Lured Facebook." Whenever I hear the words, "enterprise zone" I think: we gave it to them.

Actually, I'm not against this process, I just wonder how it pencils out.

A destination resort bites the dust. (Though I noticed from the picture, they still seem to be watering the incomplete golf course...)

Remington Ranch. I love the subtitle: "Developers remain committed to building resort..."

Uh. Right. Good idea.

Missing from the discussion of the Urban Growth Boundary are any realistic estimates of whether the population of Bend is currently increasing or decreasing, and if increasing, by how much? And for how long? Or can we look forward to explosive growth again? Or is there going to be a long lull?

Apparently, the city is still in denial. It still thinks it NEEDS more space.

Oh, well. What's a few million dollars here or there...

I've loved the "fracas" on Conan and Letterman. But when it's over, I'll probably stop watching again. Meanwhile, I'm hoping that the new show Caprica will be at least half as good as Battlestar Galactica... This year has been pretty lean on good shows. The Good Wife has been good; though it's the type of evening soap opera I don't usually watch. Castle and Mentalist always have a couple a good 'moments', though the rest of the shows are pretty average. CSI L. V. is still good, but not as great as it once was.

Just can't get into NCIS and Bones or which the rest of my family seems to love.

I've given Fringe second and third chances, and it still bores me. It just doesn't have the wit and humor and depth of X-Files. Everyone points to the crazy dad as being interesting, but his craziness just isn't believable to me. It's Hollywood crazy, whatever crazy it needs to make the plot work.

I watch no reality shows or situation comedies. The Oberdoferman has become insufferable; and Rachel has gotten a little too politically correct. Thank god for the Daily Show.
