The new guy

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

I was talking to the new guy at our office the other day. He transferred in from the Midwest. His name is John and he will be taking care of some of our inventory problems. We were talking about his life in general when he confided in me that he had undergone some cosmetic dentistry. I knew that it had paid off for him as he had a great smile. He went to tell me some of the things they had done for him.

He said that his teeth had always been a mess. Since he was young, he had many gaps and some teeth were crooked. Some of his problems were very serious and it would require a great deal of work. He said that he was fortunate that he was able to acquire the services of Dentist Edmond Oklahoma . He was very happy with the results and with the people who take care of him. I was glad for him and welcomed him to the team. I am sure he will do well with the ladies as he is a good looking guy with a great smile!

Dealers got dealt

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

We’ve all heard about the big troubles the auto industry has been having. Recently, a new trouble has arisen. Many car dealers have been let go as part of the repositioning of the big three auto makers. It has been a painful process. Some of the dealers have been in business for many decades. Chrysler has announced the closing of nearly 25% of its dealerships.

The lost franchisees are going to hurt many of the local economies. Hundreds of jobs depend on the selling of new and used cars. The ripple effect throughout the community will be felt as well. With the job market in shambles, many people will have a tough time trying to make a living. The dealers have appealed to Washington for help, but as of yet, none is forthcoming. We will have to wait and see what the final effect of these dealers’ closings will have.

Sun and Fun!

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

Since the summer has arrived and the kids are finally out of school, we decided it was high time we took a vacation. I asked the family where they wanted to go and was surprised by the result, I thought they would certainly pick something like Disneyworld, but they all agreed that they wanted to revisit a North Myrtle Beach Resort. We had visited this area two years ago and the kids loved it. The whole family enjoyed our vacation that year.

I looked into the situation and made a few calls. I was certainly surprised to find that we were able to locate an Oceanfront North Myrtle Beach Resort with an opening. I could not believe my good fortune. This meant that the entire family would be able to enjoy all the fun things to do at the beach! Playing in the water, shopping in the shops, and working on our tans all came to mind.

We are set to leave next week and can’t wait to leave. The kids didn’t have to be told to pack as they are already working on it. I’ve started packing myself as well! I know that we will all have a great time when we get to any of the North Myrtle Beach Resorts there are. It looks like we will have another great summer memory to remember. Now where is that camera?

Carbon Permits

Saturday, June 13th, 2009

The Obama administration is set to pass a large bill that will take steps to curb planet killing greenhouse gases. The legislation encompasses a wide variety of measures to reduce emissions and save energy. There is of course much debate on the bill and its effectiveness. Those to the right of the aisle say the bill will cost consumers too much money and that energy prices will rise dramatically. Those on the left of the aisle say the bill does not go far enough.

The center of the bill revolves around a plan to set a cap on the amount of pollution a company can make. If the company goes over the limit, they will have the option to purchase “carbon permits” that they can buy. The debate rages on in Washington, but all feel that at least something is being done! I hope the plan will do its intended purpose and actually work!
