Are you ready for a new housing boom? It’s OK, I thought you might need a chuckle today. But there are some analysts who seriously expect housing to lead the economy out of the slump of the last five years … much as it showed the way into this mess in the first place. It’s probably overstating the upside dramatically, but there are signs of recovery or at least stability in the housing market overall. It’s uneven and just starting, but this may be the latest sign that we are, in fact, more or less at the bottom right now and starting to turn up.

Idiot Diet
We’ve been too serious lately – and I need a break. This re-run is a fave of mine, we’ll be back live on Friday.
People diet for a lot of reasons. Some want to lose weight and others just want to be healthier. Many of the big fads seem to be more of a social thing, something people do with friends when there isn’t anything good on teevee.
It’s hard to call yourself a real blogger if you don’t write about a diet at some point, so it’s high time for the Barataria approach to better living. It’s called the “Idiot Diet”, and it’s very simple – never eat anything you don’t understand.
This can cause a lot of trouble if you know something about food already, since a little knowledge is often a dangerous thing. But with time the harmony of mind and body will set you free with a developing sense of smugness that makes a good stand-in for health in a pinch.
