Jack Miller, RIP

Our dearest friend and mentor, Jack Miller, passed away Friday morning.

I'm sorry to report sad news this morning. Jack Miller passed at 8:33 am on Friday, October 9. Jack was diagnosed with cancer in June and fought valiantly to beat it. We all believed he would overcome it but he lost the fight.

Jack was scheming, plotting and planning up to the very end. Just last weekend Jack showed me a brilliant tax strategy, which I will utilize in the near future. I've never met anyone who loved people or enjoyed life more and he lived his life to the fullest. He will be missed by all.

Here is a final message that Jack wanted me to pass on:

To my Friends, Students and Subscribers,

"I have concluded that the treatment for my illness will not be successful. However, I am thankful that I have had the friendship and support of many of you. It has been rewarding for me to see you grow and prosper and I hope I was of some help in that process. It is my hope that you will continue your efforts in the most ethical, enjoyable and profitable manner. Best of luck to you all."

Jack was one of the pioneers of the real estate education business. The friends we made at his seminars will remain long beyond this time of apparent loss. We treasure the time we had together.

RIP

Parmesan - Olive No-knead Bread

As you may know, I have been practicing baking no knead bread.  I think I have the system pretty well figured out, at least for here in Reno.  With the elevation of about 4500 feet the recipes seem to need some tweaking. The white bread most closely resembles to  me a fine artisan bread.  The most important criteria seems to be how wet the dough is (the amount of water).  Number two seems to be the nature of the container for the final proof (rising). this time I tried a loaf of regular white bread with parmesan cheese and black olives.  Although I deviated from the recipe the bread was outstanding.

I am posting excerpts from an email from a friend that recently moved from San Diego to the DC area. It shows her observations on life in a different world. I notice people here, on base, talk a lot about their gardens, which plants are in bloom, and how we need rain . They are not pedestrian friendly, definitely not pedestrian friendly. one woman stopped to allow me to walk from the store to the parking lot and the car behind her started to go around her and just about hit me. I had some profane words for car no. II Californians are in for a shock when dealing with east coast traffic. Slow as heck drivers. the I-95 is the main artery going N and S. Everyone is going N in a.m. into DC. It starts to back up a good 25 miles south of DC. I see the gridlock/parking lot from my on ramp. I-95 is only a 3 lane interstate and it is ugly with all the big rigs. there are yield signs getting onto the freeways, scary!! there is the HOV lanes with 2 lanes for 3 or more they open and c

Signs of Our Times

It has been brought to my attention that the photos in the post, "Are We Safe" could not be seen. They were there inside the post, but some form of magic may have decided that the post should only contain text. Anyhow, here they are again. I have also included a photo from Marion County, OR, that great bastion of conservative principles. LGF reported that the sign has subsequently been vandallized.
