I heard home prices are dropping rapidly, and will likely continue for some time to come. I also heard that many Europeans are taking advantage of that fact, combined with the stronger Euro and the weakening dollar. They’re taking over!

New York is a nice place to live. In “Jericho,” it was the only city to prevent a nuclear attack, its security was so good. So who should you call about buying some property there?

New York’s largest Real Estate company is called Prudential Douglas Elliman. With 60 offices, PDE serves 350 communities ranging from Montauk to Manhattan. So whether you’re looking to buy in NYC, Long Island, or the Hamptons, Prudential Douglas Elliman can help you find experienced North Fork real estate agents.

I was once vacationing in Atlanta, and I had this crazy experience. I was walking down a street with some friends, and all of a sudden we hear kids laughing from nearby, and the sound of water running. A little bit closer we could see they were playing on a Slip ‘N Slide. But it wasn’t a real Slip ‘N Slide! It was trash bags and a hose!

It was funny. I guess those kids got brainwashed by the ‘ol TV and begged and begged for “Slip ‘N Slide!” “Slip ‘N Slide!” Until finally someone had enough and went to the trouble of making their own.

So now you know, world, the secret formula behind homemade Slip ‘N Slides. Next week, the secret method for preparing a meal of blowfish.

Lucky for me, I didn’t require a list of things to do in Atlanta at the time. I was having too many crazy experiences (one after another, left and right!) to bother to worry about family vacation ideas.

But… Trusted Tours & Attractions (TrustedTours.com) could help in that regard. Like say you're going to San Francisco. What to do? Maybe see an Alcatraz tour. “Hey, what should we do in San Francisco?” “Let’s go to jail!” “All right!!” Fun for the whole family…
