After highs close to 70 degrees yesterday, 50 will feel cool today, but after all, it is December, and we really need some cool weather and precipitation these days.
I'm hoping the 5.75% interest rate will stick around longer than the warm weather, but that is not likely given how the stock market has come back today. There seems to be this theme that if more people have jobs, then we get higher interest rates. I won't complain, but is it too much to ask for low interest rates, low unemployment, AND low gas prices??? I know, of course it is, but I had to ask :-)
The new overpass at Woodmen and Powers is finally carrying cars. It will be a while before that project is completely finished, but just that little bit should help quite a bit, and will improve traffic flow for the neighborhoods east of there like Cumbres Vista, Banning Lewis Ranch, and the whole Falcon area, not to mention speeding up the flow those heading north and south on Powers to shop, see a movie, catch an airplane, etc. I'm sure the new Villa Sport recreation complex and the new Penrose Hospital won't be complaining when that is done either.
Speaking of Villa Sport, tomorrow is the opening, and WOW, is that place going to be nice! It really looks like an affordable version of the Flying Horse Club, and at a very strategic location. I have a closing later this month in Cumbres Vista, and the builder is including a 1 year membership. I think the clients are going to LOVE that one!
