Buy low, sell high. There are cheap houses all over this country, and the 'flip' world we're in now means that a lot of houses have a lot of stuff already done. Buy. Work remote. Sit on it a year or two. Move up.

I think I used to work with you. You stated the Pre was the "iPhone killer" about six months after the iPhone came out, and Android phones appeared. You showed our deparment's first iPhone user the non-awesome stuff the Pre d

At the rate plastic particles are piling up, you'd think a rocket like this could just pull plastic from the atmosphere.

Nobody uses bug screens on cars anymore because the bugs are fewer. Bee populations are in decline. And we're killing off birds. Have a nice day staring at the smart tablet in your car.
