You wouldn't be you if you did otherwise. Glad to know things are going well for you in real time. :)<br /><br />The used car issue is a problem all over the US. The Cash for Klunkers thing removed many cars that in normal situations would have been sold as used. They've been destroyed, reducing the amount of cars for sale used, and bumping up the price of those that are available as used. Another unfortunate side effect of this, has been that because the available prices for used vehicles exceeds blue book value, it's artificially inflating the property taxes owners owe to their cities and towns, in those that charge property taxes for vehicles, as they do in my state.<br /><br />I truly enjoy your blog, and am more than content to keep checking back for when you have the time.<br /><br />MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-6941856408592432392010-07-06T08:52:40.443-04:002010-07-06T08:52:40.443-04:00You don't have to appologize because you are g...You don't have to appologize because you are getting more work.<br /><br />When comparing a thing like blogging which generally doesn't pay, with something like your photography business which does, you go with the one that pays.<br /><br />We all understand the need to generate income and make money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872610766194613385.post-33029050984253243452010-07-05T20:25:49.163-04:002010-07-05T20:25:49.163-04:00I am very un-happy with your "cop-out" ...I am very un-happy with your "cop-out" You've had kudos from many fine, straight-out Americans... and you can't just find the time anymore?
