The Bank of England lowered their interest rate to 1.5%…lowest since 1694.
In a historic move, the Bank of England lowered their benchmark interest
rate by .50% to 1.5%. Now get this - the benchmark rate has NEVER been this
low since King William III founded the central bank in 1694 to fund a war
against Louis XIV’s France.

Mineral Rights are a hot topic in Texas and specifically, Tarrant and Denton counties. Whether you are a Buyer or a Seller in these areas, you need to protect yourself. Here’s a map of the Barnett Shale area and other info http://blumtexas.blogspot.com/
In many cases, home owners don’t know if they own the mineral rights beneath their property. Read More
One of the Beijing Lakes used for drinking water.
Although many of the lakes in the Beijing area are not fit for human consumption or even irrigation (”…Water from the Guanting reservoir, Beijing’s fourth largest source of drinking water source, is not fit for human consumption or even irrigation, according to a report from the city’s environment watchdog….The report also said nearly half of Beijing’s sightseeing lakes and ponds are so polluted their water also can’t even be used to irrigate the park landscape that surrounds them. ” www.chinagate.com.cn ), Read More
Now here is some real estate with staying power!
My three primary interests for the Blog are: 1. Real Estate, since I am a commercial and residential real estate broker; 2. World Travel, with trips to China, Italy, Egypt and Ethiopia between April 2007 and November 2008; 3. Christianity, since I have been Christian since baptism at 3 weeks old and I’m now old enough to reflect on this life as temporary and interested in mine and others’ everlasting life hereafter.
So, you might be thinking, these are three odd topics to group together in one blog.
What do real estate, world travel and Christianity have in common? Well, real estate is focused on where you (and your family) live today. World travel is experiencing and exploring where other people of the world are living or lived. Christainity is focused on where you will live for eternity….and there are only two major destinations! For those of you who don’t believe in heaven or hell, if you “guess” right, no loss. But if you are wrong, you will be wrong forever and the result could be pretty nasty. You can’t lose if you “believe”, so I hope you will at least explore the possibility.
Enjoy postings of any of these categories and please add your comments.
I will be adding blog posts that touch on the state of the real estate market in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, my home, the industry in general and issues that affect homeowners or commercial real estate investors/owners.
You’ll see pictures from some of the recent trips I mentioned above and some of the sights or locations that you may not have thought about visiting or you should think about visiting on one of your trips (like Bellagio, Sienna or Assissi in italy). I’ll go back further in time to trips I’ve made to Indonesia (Bali and Jakarta), Hong Kong, England, France, Mexico, Brazil or Puerto Rico. I’ll even cover some great US locations like the Grand Canyon, Colorado, California, Texas, Vegas or my hometown, Cincinnati.
Some of the Christian and religious books I have been reading have some pretty interesting perspectives or little known facts and I will share those. One I am reading right now is called “Heaven” by Randy Alcorn and is quite fascinating and enlightening on what Heaven will be like, all based on the scriptures.
