I was dropping off a deposit at my local bank this afternoon. After taking care of business, I prepared to exit the parking lot.
I had to go left across 3 lanes traveling the other direction. I cleared to the right and noted a vehicle in the center lane, I looked left and had oncoming traffic but had plenty of room. I pressed on the accelerator on the Smart Car. I remembered that car in the middle lane so I turned into the closet lane.
The next thing I hear are horns blaring and the see the other car pulling into my lane. I’m not sure if he started into my lane before I started across or if he wanted in while I was turning left. He was so close to me that I could not see the front of his car and his hands were waving frantically.
I made the next left and he followed me, I made a quick turn into a parking lot and while he started to follow, he decided otherwise and pulled back into traffic.
If I was at fault, he has my apologies. If he saw me coming across and decided to change lanes, there’s not much I could do after I started across.
Either way, a little courtesy would have gone a long way.

CRIME ALERT!
We had a resident become a victim of a crime earlier this week. Despite an active Crime Watch Program, one of the residents in the neighborhood had the wheels and tires stolen off their vehicle.
It’s always a good idea to park vehicles in the garage rather than in the rear of the house or on the street.

By Tom Branch, on July 11th, 2010 We’ve had a number of agents from all over the United States contact us about a non-branded edition of our book. Many agents (especially in our local market) were concerned that their clients would contact us rather than listing with them.
In response to these inquiries, we have produced a Professional Edition where we have removed our personal branding and contact information from the cover and removed the personalized content.
We also produced two new covers.

Personalized:
The generic book sells for $6.00 per copy. The personalized version is $7.50 per copy with a minimum order of 50 copies. The generic version will be in-stock next week. The personalized version takes about 14 days to produce, print, and ship.
