Pros and Cons

// August 28th, 2010 // Comments Off // Big JimmyK's Blog

Well folks it has been an interesting summer! We have experienced a fairly good selling season even though all of the negative politics seems to keep us all worried and in fear of what’s to come with the economy. I am very much against expressing my political views or even discussing politics with friends just because it is such a volatile subject in America however I really do believe for the most part we need to ignore most of what the politicians and political news media outlets want us to believe. Yes we are in a recession, it is ugly and it will remain ugly for quite some time but thats not all bad, we were at a point that if something didn’t change our children would be paying $500,000.00 for a mobile home. It had to adjust at some point and now it is. The positive things I have seen with my own eyes is neighbors helping neighbors again, folks actually putting money in saving accounts, folks cutting back on unnecessary spending, families doing family activities such as camping, fishing many of the inexpensive recreation we used to do. Foreign travel has dropped way off, also not a bad thing lets spend the money here in the U.S. where we need it. We can keep this country great all we have to do is go back to the basics. We are going to have to be creative from here on out, the day of getting a job, staying with it for 30 years and retiring with a great pension is over! We can do this, we are intelligent, progressive entrepreneurial folks. We made this country what it is and we can keep it that way.

Spring Is On It’s Way

// February 4th, 2010 // Comments Off // Big JimmyK's Blog

Well after enduring a long cold winter it appears spring is on the way. I personally am very excited to see it come. As I get a bit older the cold weather isn’t quite as inviting as it once was and it seems to dampen my spirits just a touch however the dream of sunshine, warmth, music, motorcycles and green grass perk me right up. I believe this spring and summer are going to be a very exciting time for many of us as we see the economy start to slowly recover, the media maybe make some strides at being more positive and hopefully jobs starting to return. That being said lets all make an effort to see if we can help each other in any way possible. I have said before to every down turn there is always something positive that comes out of it and this one is no different. Folks seem really aware that this is a problem of the masses and we have an obligation to look after each other, neighbors helping neighbors. Put a big smile on your face and count your blessings we are all in this together and thats how we will come out of it, “together”. Heres to a great spring and summer.
