Most states put together marketing packets aimed at convincing people to come and visit their state (and in the process, spend some money while you are there, too!). You may have even seen some commercials on television trying to do the same thing. Of course these ads are promising everything under the sun to visitors and nearly every single state has to mention the fact that their state has gorgeous scenery and tons of things to do. But we all know that advertising is not always true. We don't take them on their face value. We know that though the places they advertise may be there but the picture they present is often exaggerated. Almost all states boast of having plenty of outdoor activities but...

Baby Boomers currently make up a tremendous portion of our population, with most of them reaching retirement over the next 15 years. Research has shown that a big percentage of these Boomers plan to move away from their current location, and are looking to move to areas with warmer climates and a better level of living (which is the Southwest and Southeast portions of the United States). Another factor involved is that a large number of these Boomers are well off financially and have the needed money to relocate and invest in a new home or even a second home.Armed with this knowledge, real estate investors can utilize it to their advantages. Here are some items to remember before deciding on a new...
Email Marketing Lesson: Your Marketing Reminds...
I moved into a new office recently and was unpacking when I realized I was fading fast and needed a caffeine fix. Seems my Starbucks cappuccino machine had gotten lost with the movers. I panicked."Now what?" I thought. I had never gone a full afternoon without a latte. I knew something would happen if I didn't get one, and it would probably be the kind of thing that would come up with my therapist, so skipping my caffeine fix was not an option. I already had two pages of issues we were covering. I guess the unpacking would have to be put on hold.I set my Starbucks radar on full alert and followed the trail of casual business attire. Sure enough, two blocks later I found a Starbucks on the corner. As...

What do the young people of Humboldt County do after leaving high school and college? Some can't wait to leave, and others want to stay but aren't satisfied with the job opportunities, or lack thereof, in this place they've known as "home". The real question is -- how do they perceive the options available: minimum wage retail sales, join a branch of the U.S. Military, the family farm, or just hanging out with their friends who are in the same situation. Some, through their own entrepreneurial activities, see options for working from home or for business opportunities in their own community. Most however, are just glad to have found a good job somewhere, and "somewhere" usually isn't Humboldt County...
Dam, Pass, and Peak - Traffic Changes
Initially I was blind sided by Alpine daisies and Digitalis (foxglove) passing themselves off as wildflowers, much less the other fabulous scenery on the North Cascades Highway, and then they showed up again. I turned the tables on them though and made a pass. I don't commonly make passes at bikers, but in this case, it was a must. I went around them. Bikers. The non-motorized kind.I hit the brake often for resting bicyclers and continued searching, as I drove, for the perfect shot of wildflowers. My "kill two birds with one stone" mentality needed Ross Lake as a backdrop.I ducked out of traffic last spring when I got off the ferry and dipped onto South Chuckanut Drive. For approximately...

Wreckage from the first crash of an Air Force Aircraft on August 1, 1947 seems like something that only the military might be interested in. Or maybe not. Much of the original wreckage was left to rust in the forest and no recent attempts have been made to relocate or recover it by any branch of the Military. Instead, civilians have been looking for pieces from the crashed B-25 for years. That's because the crash site near Kelso, Washington, may contain material that's simply out of this world After ten years of searching, Jim Greer located pieces from the B25 in a ravine near Goble Creek east of Kelso. He has turned some of the material over to the Museum of Mysteries in Seattle. Their interest is...

Amber Mysteries Revealed
Amber, the gem of a stone that's not really a gemstone at all, is actually fossilized pine sap. People have collected, traded, carved, and coveted amber for more than 10,000 years. Yet despite our fascination with it, much about the smoky yellow stone -- the history of amber -- remains a mystery.The price for amber stones varies widely, in the right price range for Average Joe's (and Joannas) who can spend as little as $20 for amber and silver jewelry, and also for high-rollers ready to spend $40,000 or more for a "slice of sunshine" in amber jewelry crafted in gold, platinum, and featuring other gemstones. And although it not an official "birthstone -- a designation reserved for actual gemstones...

On September 23, 2005, the Internal Revenue Service began sending notices to tax payers in thirteen states that there may be a problem with their tax payments. Here is the scoop. Traffic School?

The accident actually occurred in San Mateo, California and resulted in...wait, I have to stop laughing. Okay. Deep breathe. The tax documents were "ejected into the bay" and can't be recovered!
