No matter how quickly you see the opportunity nor how clearly you percieve the course of action; all is lost if others will not Listen….. It is the sound of one hand clapping….

Interest rates are historically low and to sweeten the pot there is the tax credit – up to $8000 for qualified first time buyers whose income is within IRS established limits and $6500 for most other homebuyers.
According to the website published by RE/MAX International at
www.remax.com there are 828 properties for sale in Custer County as of today. According to a recent article in the Wet Mountain Tribune; in 2009 there were just 188 real estate sales recorded in the county. That’s down from 302 in 2008, 382 in 2007, 478 in 2006 and the recent all-time high of 513 in 2005.

* Today I filed the necessary paperwork to be the 2010 Republican candidate for County Commisioner in Custer County, Colorado. My short biography is always on the home page of this blog; here are my complete credentials on the web…. Look here:
www.sangre-de-cristo.com/westcliffe/hummingbird_engineering/RESUME.htm
* I am hoping to be elected based on these credentials as the other candidates are not as well educated and experienced…. In other words, I am hoping to participate in the Political arena with a set of skills beyond being a “Bullshit Artist”.
Thinking allowed….

In 1996 we purchased the 1640 acre Sierra Mojada Ranch and moved to Westcliffe from Boulder, Colorado. It is a privilege to live on a Ranch in a low population area.
After twelve years of living in the guest cottage we finished construction of the $1 million dollar main ranch house after a 18 month construction effort by local craftsmen. We started with a three month design effort by a Team of Architects, Professional Engineers and the General Contractor. The result of the design efforts were a strong set of construction drawings that incorporated the Uniform Building Code. (more…)
